New Order: ICB @ Berlin 1981

New Order playing ICB live at the SO36 Club in Berlin on May 27th 1981.
Video and audio not of the greatest quality, but such were the camcorders at the time.
Also, as you can tell the original recorder was obviously having fun with the camera

Line of force from heaven
A tear in a stranger's eye
When it goes forever
Where all things never die
People look wherever
These places have been won
Lives just go on breathing
When these moments have begun

It's so far away
And it's closing in
It's so far away
It seems to draw me in

Taken from the killing ground
By an all-providing hand
With no sense or reason
They came, (????)
(????) Destruction
(can't understand him here)

It's so far away
It seems to draw me in
It's so far away....

I.C.B. (Ian Curtis Buried) is still my favorte track on Movement, which many think of as the third Joy Division album, but without Ian Curtis. Dreams Never End, the opening track, actually has a cheerful tune to it! OK, some of Joy Division's songs were also danceable, of course (just look at Ian being spastic while performing!). Also; this performance marks exactly one year (and nine days) after the death of Ian. Just a year, actually... wow! They got really far only then!

[FSchouten]

Aye, they do :-)! That's what I thought! Still do, as a matter of fact.

[davidtrz]

Yes ! Fucking Genious !

Les contributions de Ian Curtis, sur cet album, sont magnifiquement traitées par les 3 survivants. C'est un bel hommage rendu à Ian.

Eerrr... reading my OWN reply from seven months ago, I suddenly realise how easily I could've expressed my appreciation for this song :-P. For you are right, it ÍS Fucking Genius!
