Joy Division - Insight ( Peel Session - 1979)

[@jamesonjaksch4883]

Joy Division is just one of the bands that's just unmockable.

[@macurban7946]

In the final analysis, probably the greatest band. Yeah.

[@driesvanc8764]

Like great criminals are unmockable.

Time and time again, i contemplate this walk out of the door. But Listening to Ian Re-assures me that i am not alone in this feeling.

underrated ? everyone i know who was in a band etc for the last 30 years has idolised him. lol . Him or Klaus Dinger

Underrated by who?... The heavy metalers??... Because there is a Legion of postpunkers that don't think so.

"When the souls rise in the light of their joy, my soul ascends glorified by the dark of grief. I am like you, Night! And when my morn comes, then my time will end." - Kahlil Gibran RIP Ian. Long live Joy Division.

[@omartamer2129]

Guess your dreams always end. They don't rise up just descend, But I don't care anymore, I've lost the will to want more, I'm not afraid not at all, I watch them all as they fall, But I remember when we were young. Those with habits of waste, Their sense of style and good taste, Of making sure you were right, Hey don't you know you were right? I'm not afraid anymore, I keep my eyes on the door, But I remember... Tears of sadness for you, More upheaval for you, Reflects a moment in time, A special moment in time, Yeah we wasted our time, We didn't really have time, But we remember when we were young. And all God's angels beware, And all you judges beware, Sons of chance, take good care, For all the people not there, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, Oh, I'm not afraid anymore.

MH did so much for JD but raw JD is how it should be.

[@Some_Guy_87]

This version sounds sooo much better than the regular one! The voice fits in much better, the guitar adds much more to the atmosphere...it just sounds more complete this way :). Great song!

[@andyblack9524]

The best tune that i think they've done on the peel session & love will tear us apart is so raw

[@andyblack9524]

Cant stop listening to this even when I'm up or down

[@paulfahy9101]

Best song ever , best version ever , poetry in motion !!

[@sajftw]

one of these days i was listening a whole day long to nothing else but this song. gives me the shivers.

[@Niko98ful]

Dreams Never End... now I see why one of New Order’s first songs has that title...

[@TheRealActualBryanFerry]

I love playing this on bass. good shit

[@serial841]

i have no words.

[@FrancisCook144]

I must have seen this band, mainly in Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester and once or twice in London maybe 12 times. Each song and each memory it evokes still punches right in the gut... great art, Curtis.

[@quacksmack7449]

Lucky prick , lol ! :) I'd kill to have seen 'em just once. Cheers!!!

[@allister1964]

One of my favourite tracks of the 'Unknown Pleasures' album. This session version is just class.

[@kylabotting]

Brilliant version.

[@sidDkid87]

Peel sessions are fantastic - he was a rare breed

[@kylabotting]

Yes, Ian was one of a kind...a brilliant poet and performer..His loss was and is still so profound.

[@Some_Guy_87]

joydivisiongirl The original never really connected with me, but this one...oh boy. Glad they did this.

[@evelskunny1]

Some Guy are you nuts lol nothing wrong with the original,

[@howcomeitaintchaingng9645]

Well Folks! Here in the comments section we have "Some Guy" and "Guy Man", a sick cruel joke on humanity.

[@DerekHunterDHChaosRiddler]

Another great John Peel Session version of a JD track.

[@ady10001]

First time I have heard this version - its excellent, a real sense of confidence from Ian. My favorite version is on the Baines Douche live CD which I had but got stolen when my car was broken into and I haven't been able to get hold of since :-{

[@fridgetmidget012]

Transport me back to anytime in history it be to watch Ian Curtis live on stage awesome.

[@sallysmith1484]

The lyrics are so obviously written by someone suffering severe depression and contemplating the end of his life, and no longer afraid of that finality. It's a tragedy that he couldn't have been saved.

[@johnosgraveyardjaunts2235]

You are so right ! 'New Dawn Fades' 'I've walked on water...run through fire...can't seem to feel it anymore'

There only war in live. We only have fight. Never surrender.

[@Chris-z1k7x]

I keep my eyes on the door.

[@iggystooge1962]

I like to believe that Ian Curtis was a poet. I believe it can be reductive to reduce such a powerful song as this to the everyday circumstances of what we know now only with hindsight. There wasn't anything obvious . The line 'im not afraid anymore! ' is bellowed out with force and conviction. It's a statement of defiance. As the song says 'and encapsulates perfectly in the line 'a moment in time . This is the song of a man doing what he loves despite the odds , physical, emotional , passionate love with its deep bonds , shared history, loyalty are tested to the limit when out of nowhere love , or the end of love destroys as well as creates

[@carlasummers8239]

my fave tune

[@ravenouscolonelhart]

there's such a difference between different album, studio (ie this) and live versions of Joy Division songs... I Remember Nothing or The Eternal are best in their album versions with Hannet's production, but this track is way better live in-studio than on the album. It's too bad they didn't record more tracks like this, a Peel Sessions version of Shadowplay or Atrocity Exhibition would likely be amazing.

[@NotMyBroder]

scary yet beautiful

[@kaplangeorges2578]

I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE

[@IgorGutman]

The other night I was fucked up on weed & vodka and happened to be listening Joy Division's Insight as I was passing by this tree with a ton of birds chirping and that's when I realized where that sound was inspired from 1:27 birds

[@Reb3nga]

Only weed and alcohol? 😅

[@useyournogos6845]

"Oh, here's some nice guitar here. Let's completely MUTE it in the mix." --Martin Hannett, 1979. Lol fuck that guy sometimes.

[@BoudicaJ]

My sentiments exactly

[@anthonym8205]

Martin also liked the BIG drum sound, which in a song like Insight seems out of place.

[@torinpage8573]

Who do you reckon had a better idea of sound engineering. Martin Hannett who produced one of the greatest albums ever made, or some geezer on KZbin 40 years after the fact?

[@torinpage8573]

Also to include the fact that you can hear the guitar on the album version.

@ratinfest thats soo true theres nothing like them as of right now. s many have desperately attempted to capture the sound. but nothing can ever top this band.

[@Popdivision]

Ian sounds so different, And I mean that in a good way.

[@zachbladen]

He sounds a lot less melancholy

[@crose7412]

@Popdivision That's because he's not singing through a telephone on this version!

[@MisterWhat]

I like both, but i agree that it doesnt make anyone less of a fan to prefer the live feel to the same songs. Its more powerful in a way.

[@dovie2blue]

Seems the most immense talents always pay a high price...the world isn't made for them...

[@ceremony1372]

the "hip hop" like drums take this track to a new level.

[@D0oD0oBrain]

I do love this version alot. But i felt as though Ian's voice was more power in the studio recording.

[@awarewolves1712]

My favorite Joy Division song

[@NNachtschatteNN]

es una pena que un genio como Ian curtis muriera tan joven y de esa manera! T-T it's so sad that such a genious like Ian Curtis died so young and in that way!! T-T

Yes he was actually, there are songs he wrote in his plays that were put to music at the time.

Idk about you guys but joy division is one of the best post punk and alternative rock band there is, this insight version is one of the best out there, I listen to it all the time like rn and probably forever till I’m an old man

[@ozzydavid6630]

Joy Division is the best post-punk band of all time! There is only one band that can compare or be better than JD and that is Siouxie And The Banshees. of the rest none. Joy Division has influenced New Wave, Gothic Rock and thousands of famous bands and artists from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Joy Division's music was innovative for its time and not to mention their lyrics that touch your heart. soul and make you feel the suffering that Ian Curtis had

[@hughzapretti-boyden9187]

JD happened during punk! Therefore they were a punk band, a continuation of Warsaw!!!

[@ericlebrun1640]

the new wave' birth!!!!

[@silkythefairy]

[@frank7690]

Indimenticabile band...... è ancora dentro me. Ormai da 40 anni.....

[@luapssub2415]

I have to find this disc

[@ipudding100]

@mmasonhauser He's just a normal guy, but it shows you what the everyman can achive. I wouldn't want to have lived Ian's life, through the epilepsy and depression. But every day people suffer from these things, and Ian gave up in the end. So I'd say he was more of a saint than a God. ;)

[@leejones4497]

I don't know if it's just that it's different, but I way prefer this version to the version on Unknown Pleasures - more mysterious and the lead guitar sounds better.

[@ratgodmetalsupertvshow9718]

So dope to hear another version. Don't get how people are saying this is better than the original at all though, it's way too upbeat sounding.

[@Juanslenderman666]

Lo canta de una manera animada, en la original lo expresa tan bien que tiene que hacer parecer que no tiene esperanza, si no fuera por eso pues esta versión seria mejor pero no lo es.

[@catalinrares]

what does it seem most innovative in their music? (to u)

[@Aglain_Plumrose]

*What would the definition of evil be according to Darwin or medical science?* Evil would be the process of adaptation by which one has achieved or is attempting to achieve a greater immunity than the core of humanity. To understand this think of the slow and benign animals that Darwin discovered on Galapagos. Evil would be, in fact, Darwin disturbing the slow animals.
