Thanks Paul, the tape sounds great just how I remember the broadcast from my bedroom in Hertfordshire all that time ago

Thanks you Martin, you are a legend in High Wycombe!

I really like how low quality the audio is, it’s honestly more immersive this way. The way that the recorder didn’t properly pick up the synth is actually kinda scary!

01:48 Great stuff, keep it up

I was at this gig and what a sh itshow it was. Just a shame there’s not a full recording. Band sounded great. They’d played High Wycombe before, but skinheads were targeting Ants gigs. About 30 skins showed up late (and drunk) and started booing and assaulting random punters. Then the skins started chanting “sieg heil” and it all kicked off. The band had had enough. Adam was really brave. Had the mic the whole time and told the skins to “F off out of it” and to “go and watch Tiswas” (which got a laugh). He said another skinhead “looked like the bald geezer from Benny Hill” (which got another laugh). More Nazi chants were followed by the worst mass brawl I’ve ever seen. Kevin Mooney leathered one skin and got dragged into the melee. It was mental. Furniture was smashed and thrown. The punks turned into soldier Ants and turned on the Skins. Skins got a kicking that night. Blood and beer all over the floor. The fuzz arrived. Bedlam. High Wycombe town council had an emergency meeting the next day and banned all punk bands from playing there.

Was anyone here in the north stand that game?

"Turn the lights off!" That was Ian who said that. Too late. All it would take was a few seconds. He had a fit and fell into the drums. Just an hour or so later, they drove to play at The Moonlight Club, and Ian had ANOTHER fit after just five numbers. Peter Hook later said they should've just canceled some of these last few gigs, but they might have been financially and professionally penalized for doing so. They did what they had to.

Probably the best performance of the song. Ian sounds absolutely miraculous, here.

I was hoping it wasnt too Christmassy and it aint...got some rock innnit! Nice treat! Their voices blend together nicely...punky prog anyone? These two should of done more together...love the blend

thanks for this! Have always loved the TRB version, and knew OF this one, but only heard it thanks to you!

Coya legends

Йен Кертис!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this gem. Joy Division existed fir such a short period of time, and any recording is priceless. I can still feel the emotion in Ian's voice.

If Ian had not died think most of us here would never heard about them... but I wish he was alive...

IAN I WISH YOU WERE HERE

Brilliant...i was there(a Robin!)...can't remember much about the game except we were beaten...remember the good weather though bizarrely

Nice one Paul, I was also at this gig, totally amazing performance by all involved. Thank you for posting.

Awesome

This is the way informal concert recordings sounded. God bless the mobile phone.

Curious does anyone know where that white guitar Ian had is now? Worth a few bob I'd say!

I don't understand a word that he's saying because the audio is such poor quality.

A lovely FM recording. I made a somewhat poorer one from my bedroom in Welwyn Garden City so it's great to hear it clearly at last!

43yrs ago...

Incredible! I was there. Thank you, thank you!!!

you can hear what an instinctively mad and accurate drummer stephen morris is here........

7:16 somebody tell me what he is saying

great audio quality

I met a girl recently who was at this concert but she turned up late. She was gutted that she missed the strippers at the beginning of the Stranglers set but was indifferent to having missed Joy Division.

Pointless posting this with audio this bad.

He set the tone for the following decade they know it,

Hard to believe he was dead several weeks after this..😣

What???

So sad to think that 6 weeks later Ian took his own life. He has left us with a wonderful legacy that will live on for as long as music exists. #joydivision

Don’t hear them play this often z fantastic to hear and sounds just as good as the studio recording.I wonder sometimes what would have been if Ian were hear with us today..

love there cover versions wild rover running near white Christmas no sleep till.. .Belfast never heard tiger feet thanx for putting it on. HANX

We need the DHOL collective drummers at Adams Park!

That sounded like great vocals, even with the rough recording you can hear how intense that is.

👍.

So close, so far, Ian leaves us with this amazing song

Great find! I believe in the spirit of IKC

My memory of this (apart from Ian’s fit) was that Peter Hook played the entire set with his back to the audience…?

I was there. Aged 16. Near the front. There were a few JD fans up behind us, probably near to the recording mic. But I don't remember much applause coming from the crowd at the time.

Cousins who scored the first goal should have been sent off for a head butt. Decisions change games.

EARLY ANTS IS BEST.

Thank you ❤️

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

Did Ian had a fit during Dead Souls?
