Brilliant film that includes the performance of Sam Riley who portrayed Ian Curtis Brilliantly.

Sam Riley should make a tribute band <3

@jano916 What? I consider myself quite a fan, reading biographies, owning posters, buying their entire discography etc.; and to be honest, I like this version better than Unknown Pleasure's studio version. Keep in mind the song was written by Curtis and his words can still hold to be beautiful regardless of who's interpreting them.

@sparkyinbath same here. Way better version than the original.

@sparkyinbath How insulting! Sure, Sam Riley did a fine job....but nothing can replace the real thing. You need to watch the movie/documentary entitled "Joy Division" on Hulu.com. It might make you really "think" about what you wrote. Gee, your comment about the actors' versions of Joy Division's songs , " I prefer their version to Joy Division's" even made both my dogs puke a little in their mouths! I doubt you're a true Joy Division fan...truly doubtful.

@Hazurda You should look for the Heart and Soul boxset, it has a live performance very close to this one, well no, this one is very close to that one, sure you can find it here, just type it, taringa.net



Is there any chance of getting this version on MP3 ? Looked everywhere.. cant find any?

I'll be doing a zip file with MP3s of all the performances including extended versions of Candidate, Leaders Of Men and Transmission. I'll put a link to it up in the description of all the videos.
