[@SteveRes]

I aim to please... but often miss :o

[@nik62es]

Was there, that's where I saw Joy Division live for the first and only time.

[@davidrees5015]

It was John Ellis (Vibrators) playong lead guitar. Great memories, I was there!

[@zoeherriot]

It was Robert Smith of the Cure on these tracks according to the album. Ellis joined the Stranglers ten years later.

[@zoeherriot]

Ah - so John Ellis played on Duchess and No More Heroes according to the back sleeve.

[@mrgoodfella23rus]

is it really robert smith on guitar?

[@neolestat]

Hazel sounds so raw and awesome here... Now, live, she sounds like a shadow of herself. As post-punk she was one of the best. Now as a Celtic singer, not so much. She needs to find this 'fire' again.

that was hugh cornwells bird at the time

And the 3rd of April Was I think the last but one gig that Joy Division played before the death of Ian Curtis. Played 3rd & 4th April UB40 where a support act if my memory serves me... I can remember Ian Dury forgetting the lyrics to peaches!

[@TheGodParticle]

Oh happy days...

[@jabborn01]

If this was at the Rainbow - then I was there

[@spassy13]

[@TheSilversurfer61]

Hitchiked all the way from the Black Forest to see some real punks.Joy Division were great too.And Burnell kicked some punks in the head with his boots...good times!

[@brython2]

good vocals

[@TheMauvetys]

if only there wouldn't be this saxophone though

[@DrKJPalmer]

On some CD releases the sax has been mixed out completely. Much better IMO, if not authentic to the gig.

[@sebbie63]

great! Where did you find this!

[@chrisbowers85]

SHE'S TRYIN!

[@TheGameKat]

@brian9999 her brother had all the talent in that family

[@drewzilla2617]

[@alice3427]

Business. Show. !!

[@K.Straughan]

Oi !

[@kingharryannis]

After 15 pints of fullers london pride i can get me ead around the deepness and fathom the political reality of the artistic nature of the strangled vocals,and I talk a load of bollocks when I am pissed.

[@philwragg912]

Infidel Atheist lol what an ace comment!

[@annewinwood]

This is terrible, but interesting as the managment had all fallen out and I was working for.............perhaps best not mention it.........

[@MikeSmith-tv4mc]

It's a shame,I'm a East Coast American, and all of my life, the best R&R always seemed to be British.Yardbirds,Kinks,Procol Harum,Hollies,oh yea, those other 2 bands that stole all of the attention! The Stranglers and the Damned were noticed by us in "The States" [God, I Hate that term] by far to few. Iggy Pop was a joke here,yet not in Germany [How's that Socialism crap workin' for ya? By the way, where's our lend-lease money? Oh yea, Remember the Marshall Plan? STOP YOUR BITCIN' AND PAY UP!

[@ricknblack]

had this for28 years or so and its still shite,hazel oconnor is tone deaf alright.

[@oblongfan1]
