The darkest, most haunting version of Ian Curtis' absolute masterpiece. Humanity sure as hell lost something when Ian died.

[@renatoalcides5104]

Rage, Rage and Rage. No space for manners, no place for fake. Brute jewel, unsurpassed, eternal!

[@Linda_elixor]

I still every damn year light a candle and cries my eyes out at the 18th of May. Counting down to this years mourning- rituale in five days. Those we give remembrance to never truly die. ❤ St. Ian ❤

[@awediomusic2137]

In a weird way, we also gained a lot from his loss. His art took on new meaning, a weird sort of life in the absence of his own. It's as if Ian's soul now haunts his music, and has found a new home. He sacrificed himself to bring us sheer beauty, distilled from the horrors and pains of his life. We are indebted to him.

[@lilithbleeding5208]

Such a fucking writer. I can't spend one day without listening to New daws Fades, Disorder and She's lost control. But the 1st I mentioned will remain my favorite as his lyrics are like his cry for help nobody took seriously...

When the hellish audio quality cannot even begin to compete with the power of the performance, that's when you know this was a godly show.

Listen to the Paradiso gig, probably the best sound of all the bootlegs. Awesome stuff ❤

I feel the audio quality gives more darkness and feeling (my english is so bad sorry, i hope u understand)

​@@aud527that was perfect English lol

[@davidsalmon8659]

i was there. Intense doesn't do it justice. Raw, emotional and beyond music as most people will ever experience it. We lost Ian and got Bono, one of life's great injustices.

[@Manmachine59]

Of course it would be stupid to compare darkness and deepness of Ian’s poetry with teenager Bono’s first songs, but actually, who knows what JD would became with lan alive ? Not sure that New Order sound would fit with ian’s voice and attitude….

[@darthvader3465]

U2 has some decent songs

[@Tdub0911]

Haha. Bono was, WAS, awesome until he turned into a pretentious prick. Well, I guess he always was he just didn't have a big enough platform yet to show how much of one he is.

[@Antler-bd1yu]

No you were not.

[@NeshaV8]

Are you seriosly comparing Bono with Ian? I mean I have nothing against Bono, but it`s just... not comparable... Ian was an artist, same as DBowie was, Iggy, the greats.

I just found this version today. This band is just the gift that keeps on giving.

[@notabolchevik]

"Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire Can't seem to feel it anymore It was me, waiting for me Hoping for something more Me, seeing me this time Hoping for something else" Can´t find anyone that hasn´t felt like that at least once in their life.

[@corvideity]

i think ian felt like that every day... so do i

[@justinbaukus]

This is the vocal performance of a man possessed with a catharsis of emotions. It is hauntingly beautiful and is why I love live music. Martin Hannett was a genius in the studio but nothing compares to the sheer, raw energy of Joy Division on stage.

[@andygretz]

Black Sabbath ! Your on the wrong vibe there Joy Division have no relation whatsoever to them , Hooky vaguely played a bit of heavy stuff but different genre all together.

[@dodeka]

⁠@@andygretz I think he meant more so the tone of his guitar (and the way he plays the solo). Bernie is known to strap on an SG even back then, so it’s not so far fetched. And Sabbath had a more diverse sound in the mid 70s most don’t acknowledge . Bits of jazz, folk, and prog mixed in w/ the heavy

[@metalheadgamer80]

@@andygretzYou sure about that? The Sabbath influence might have not been as great as the Velvet Underground or Bowie but this song and Day of the Lords were TOTALLY influenced by Sabbath. Even Bernard Sumner will tell you this…

It is the imperfection and dirtiness of the recording that makes this song special. Perfection is for the shallow.

I cried hearing this. I can say it is one of the most poingnant moments in music history ever since the time of creation and we’re hearing it.

[@RuthlessOutlaw]

I'm one of those ignorant fuks who came across this song from the movie. It sounded so good and I ended up looking it up. Went down a rabbit hole and became a serious Joy Division fan. Wish they put out more work.. But with legends you get what u can

[@Ydce1891]

Better late than never 🖤

[@brianj4201]

I first listened to Love Will Tear Us Apart years ago and now I'm getting really into Joy Division because I explored their music more. I do like New Order, but Joy Division was an entirely different beast altogether. Every album JD made was great all around. My personal favorite is Still.

[@robinackermann7711]

Which movie?

[@RuthlessOutlaw]

@@robinackermann7711 The Equalizer it was actually a cover done by Moby I believe.

[@dean2287]

Mesmerizing. Revolutionary. Nasty. Raw. Legendary. The band that spawned a generation. I can still feel the excitement of that time, and how the music was like throwing a molotov cocktail down the dusty worn out alley of smoothed out 70's pop trash.

[@noddyholder79]

very well put

[@shnoogums1]

As someone who listens to modern extreme metal, this is the heaviest song of all time

[@barrygreenstein8383]

Joy Division were one of the most powerful bands of all-time!

[@Ydce1891]

A change of speed, a change of style A change of scene, with no regrets A chance to watch, admire the distance Still occupied, though you forget Different colors, different shades Over each mistakes were made I took the blame Directionless, so plain to see A loaded gun won't set you free So you say We'll share a drink and step outside An angry voice and one who cried We'll give you everything and more The strain's too much, can't take much more Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire Can't seem to feel it anymore It was me, waiting for me Hoping for something more Me, seeing me this time Hoping for something else

[@cph2004]

My favourite joy division track. The lyrics hit hard. I used to play this back in the late 90s when i was in a band. Every time we played it, it nearly brought me to tears. Powerful

[@snarkyguy2657]

It's always interesting to see how the same song can change based on inflection of the singer: this version being the angry, defiant Ian while the last concert on Still version is the depressed, resigned, and defeated Ian.

[@vv247]

In 1980 I was anxiously awaiting to see JD in Toronto, I was 16. A couple of weeks before the show the local radio station broke the news. Best band then , best band I have heard since then.

[@phylliselizahb1041]

We all grieved, but understand. Ian's epilepsy had accelerated to where only increasing barbiturates controlled it. He saw himself as a human rug in a hospital bed on a morphine drip.

[@vv247]

[@rolfkristiandaniloff8152]

Nothing can compete with this. Lyrics are amazing, and the desperation in Ians voice. Absolute magnifisant!

OMG Ian's live vocals are so intense. Holy smokes.

[@vladimiravramovic3959]

Anthem of all dark music. I prefer heavy metal and Black Sabbath, but this song and Joy Division in general are final range of dark music. This is the best sound of bass guitar I've ever heard!

[@sarak7024]

I have just discovered this version and I can't stop listening to it. I've liked Joy Division since I was 10 (11 years ago) but this recording has finally made me see how Curtis handled his pain. Very inspiring.

[@alferdjuhimovich9037]

You know it's funny to hear from people of why they don't take Ian Curtis' as a vocal performer seriously. They say he didn't have the proper technique like Ronnie James Dio used to have, neither that awsome timber of the late Freddie Mercury. While in the reality it's all about broadcasting yourself through the vocal means, and the emotions that he'd managed to express via his voice is gorgeous. Well this record is 41 or 42 years old and it still impresses alot. What else should be said. Keep on doin' the science, guys who knows, maybe someday we'll be able to ressurect him through his DNA and witness another His performance)

[@JammastaJ23]

The heavier distortion really works amazing here. Better than the studio version.

[@mcrough9352]

Darkness is coming, Absolute masterpiece

[@maximejolicoeur4532]

WATCHING IT FADE AWAY! damn , this is the most intense version recorded. I notice , Peter Hook played this version 2 notes higher than the studio version, that's makin it more intense 👌

[@mr.kamikaze._xd]

Probably the pitch change is something from the tape with which it was recorded

[@johnnycochicken]

Likely this recording is a half- or whole-step fast, adding to the eerie quality and making Ian's already awesome performance sound like opera.

[@Blazing234]

It sounds fucking badass though. Holy shit. This version is in F minor, so it's a whole step.

[@corvideity]

this reminds me of a dream i had where i was in a stupor and fell backwards through a hill of snow into a graveyard behind an old church late in the dead of night. it took me hours to get up and my klonopin was scattered all throughout the snow which i think is really significant. it was like trying to move in water or moving backwards. there were houses behind there and as i screamed for help an old man told me to shut up and threatened me from behind his window but i never saw him. i was still trying to gather the klonopin in the snow even though i refuse to take it irl despite being ill everything was like another time period and there were train tracks in the street. i remember hearing another version of love will tear us apart with female vocals and synths, but the weirdest thing is in the end i was ian in the dark, in the passenger's side of a british car with either his wife or my mother. i'm from america so i thought i was in the driver's seat but no. i have 'sleep shakes' so for all i know something could have been happening to me during the dream

Great gig, only a few hundred people, at most, in the audience as most in the bar/pub waiting for Buzzcocks. Bernard messed around with his home-made synth before they came on, trying to get the Insight sound right, - band came on to the Nosferatu (1979) soundtrack track 'On The Way'. Buzzcocks were great too - and the sound for both bands was good, despite the myth that the Buzzcocks deliberately ruined it for JD.
