Stephen KILLING the drums

[@gwts1171]

Yeah, I always felt like he didn't get the recognition he deserved. I guess Peter and Bernard are such big personalities that Stephen kinda blended in.

[@MIKERUPTION]

Stephen never disappoints.

[@erickgabriellimadacosta182]

Yes perfect that!!

[@pamela8329]

As he does. Always makes me wonder how many pounds he loses during a gig!

[@canadude6401]

give that man a towel!! He is a drum machine in a human body!

[@canadude6401]

Ceremony is their perfect transitional song. I think it was finding light with New Order in the dark shadows of Joy Division. Powerful, emotional and hypnotic.

[@adamgoodell5805]

Agreed. But Procession might be even more transitional. It's kind of the perfect blend of NO and JD. I think Ceremony is more of an NO song than JD. I think all the did is perform it live a couple times before Ian died. It was fully formed and recorded as NO.

[@adrianfaz9863]

Best song of life

[@sublimelove23]

I’ve always felt like this song embodies the difference of joy divisions and new order. They’re like light and day. Joy division is the long lonely night, but new order and ceremony specifically feel like waking up to a brand new beautiful day and feeling a sense of optimism

[@karlanthonymargate7362]

I think it's Dreams Never End. First part is Joy Division and second part is New Order

[@ronmudry5686]

I agree 100 💯 I love this song in bad times,.. it is a wake up call in life. ❤ we need sometimes

[@MIKERUPTION]

This must have been difficult for them, emotionally, playing a Joy Division song about a year and a half after Ian's passing. This is my all-time favorite song. It always makes me choke up somehow.

[@wooltrouserslover777]

same here bro. All time favorite song

[@MarcS4R]

the song is amazing, one of my all-time favorites too

[@mikebarrett7154]

Yeah. This song is really kind of like a test to see what kind of people are listening. If you get an emotional response from this song you still have a soul.

[@bringusashrubbery5902]

It’s rough, it’s raw, and it’s effing awesome! One of my all-time favorites also!

[@velouris76]

It most definitely was a difficult time for them: Also as well, from reading interviews over the years, many of the group didn’t listen to their first album “Movement” for several years, simply because recording it was such a horrendously difficult time for them emotionally, and the thought of even listening to the album would have brought back bad memories of that time… I remember reading a few interviews, from Hook and Morris, years later, talking about the time they recorded “Movement”, and Martin Hannett (a genius producer, but who could also be a very difficult character at the best of times), went from being difficult to totally off-the-wall unbearable to work with during the recording, and this was a main reason this was the last album they worked with him..

[@adamdixon1904]

Before drumming machines This is how good and fast he was and still is. Underated drummer

[@modtwo2]

He’s the human drum machine!

[@madonline6849]

no fucking way was this before drum machines. suicide, metal urbain, cabaret voltaire, throbbing gristle, blondie, kraftwerk, and i won't even pretend they got there first

[@madonline6849]

come on

[@walterswu]

Not actually underrated - he always makes the top 50 drummer lists - but what is astonishing is how he gave it up for a drum machine

[@jkrycz]

Amphetamines.

[@richardcunningham5540]

The greatest of all New Order songs. Nothing more to be said. Thanks

[@richardwallace6313]

is not a New Order song

[@fantabulouso1647]

@@richardwallace6313 it’s a new order song as much as it’s a joy division song, don’t be a snob

[@richardwallace6313]

@@fantabulouso1647 Snob? first, you clearly do no know me, and second it cannot possibly be a New Order song when it was written by someone who was never in New Order. New Order recorded it, performs it, but it is there song only in way that All Along the Watchtower is a Hendrix song.

[@trevorj3838]

bull

[@andrewbarron7690]

Temptation.

[@RonAmescua]

Hard to imagine a time when this song didn't exist. These guys carved it out of the ether and now it's eternal.

[@Tigerrfeet]

This was back in the day when your tape recorder was jammed against the radio, hoping the dj does not utter a word 💕

[@Lyndanet]

When you made a real mixtape

[@pamela8329]

Hard to believe how they were able to continue with such courage & grace at such young ages. And how they have evolved.💙

[@WeAreAllOneNature]

Beautiful layers of sound weaving through each other.

[@knoname7778]

Amazing how timeless New Order's music is...wow

[@msedub80]

They just don't have bands like this anymore. Truly talented and gifted

[@ghallor2]

I consider New Order and videos like these to be the gems of KZbin. Thanks to the guys who recorded this for us to see years later

[@ronmudry5686]

Imagine being in that crowd.. front row to witness this masterful beautiful song .. Love it!!!!

[@Sometimes_Always]

This footage has been "out there" for the last 40 years.. It's such a wonderful feeling of nostalgia and days gone by.. Seeing the band so young.. Memories of my own youth in all of it.. Thanks for releasing it.

[@dragonballzfan3]

The greatest song ever written

[@stacybragger6932]

Yes

[@false_binary]

Mad props to Gillian on the rhythm 🎸

[@danielgriff2659]

MOVEMENT is by FAR my favorite New Order album.

[@btsdancestudio5691]

Very important song in this iconic band history. They are celebrating the greatness of their friend and band leader Ian Curtis!

[@melissadalessandro7236]

The venue they played in is located in a neighborhood that, at the time, was as raw as they were. The edge of the Bowery-the edge of the East Village…whew! I hope they hit McSorleys afterwards. 🙌🏻

[@edwintorres7397]

Oh man, I lived there then, such an amazing neighborhood and time...what venue was it?

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Absolute masterpiece. Great live version.

[@lancerobinson8889]

Bernie was trying to copy Ian but soon after he found his own voice and it was much better. Love to all of you.

[@MalikethTheBlackBlade1]

Any other songs that capture this specific vibe? I absolutely love Age Of Consent & Dreams Never End.

[@whodunit6939]

I recommend "All My Friends" by LCD Soundsystem.

[@drstevie]

Brilliant. Saw them in 1981.

[@jonathonbyrne9154]

Been blessed to see New Order twice this year (Heaton Park and O2 London) superb on each occasion and all the more amazing 40 years after this performance

[@lancerobinson8889]

This must have been so hard for all of them but the results are awesome 🙂

[@manoloxines9113]

Brilliant

[@chemicalbrother7613]

Sofia Coppola soundtracked the party sequence in "Marie Antoinette" with this legendary track for over a good 3 minutes. It has this incredible feeling of nostalgic joy that fits so well into this incredibly underrated film: hands down, one of the best songs of all time for me.

[@aremandus]

Perfect song

[@evansnick81]

The human drum machine Mr Morris. Legend

[@u_bomboclat]

This is the best New Order, Joy Division, song of all time. Ian was an amazing writer, and New Order are incredible performers.

[@EmadamMim]

So hard to explain the feelings this song gives me.

[@charlessomerset9754]

Hooky with his back to the audience, lol.

[@DhafinFausta]

I guess he was syncing with Stephen lol. They are the backbone of the band. Especially for Hooky, he is the sound.

[@charlessomerset9754]

@@DhafinFausta yes, I agree. This performance was exceptionally tight. By the time I heard this during the Low Life tour they were a bit looser, but much louder.

[@Unboxning]

@@charlessomerset9754 think they were all just really nervous so they used all their energy on not screwing up and not much on making a show, i really like that about early New Order

[@AW-kr9fl]

This was a huge deal for them playing America. You can tell they were nervous

[@Tigerrfeet]

One of my faves

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Wow. To have been there to hear this. If only…

[@hunterdavis3003]

My ALLTIME FAVORITE SONG

[@TheSlowSteve]

Bernard and Hooky need to come to their senses and work things out before it's too late.

[@malcolmhull6584]

Don't we all?

[@AW-kr9fl]

Yeah we need a tour with the original line up before they get too old. Phil and that other guy on bass suck.

[@scottomotive]

Hooky is living his best life and his up close and personal shows are so great. Very raw and organic, he really puts his soul into it. I caught his shirt at the last one in Seattle!

[@frankneudeck6505]

This is one of my favorite songs. So great.

[@jasonquinlan731]

I get excited whenever I see Gillian on guitar.

[@Sublime_37]

Wow, when they’re at the most sad, they actually play the very best. This must have been a tribute to Ian. 🙏🏽

[@juicylucy5797]

What a moment in time!

[@Soundofsilver2007]

Bernard was thinking deeply about Ian imo

[@Smoshy16]

No. He was completely off his tits on LCD!

[@erickgabriellimadacosta182]

The best song of this band

[@guttersnype00]

Incredibly sad, beautiful, chilling, hypnotic, emotional, epic, and extraordinarily brave.

[@PaulA-yw6lx]

Ian Curtis will live forever in our hearts, of those who hear his music and lyricism, likely the greatest of all time! And this was HIS song, being performed amazingly by the remaining Joy Division- New Order crew. It must have been so difficult for the band, but they show great courage to turn up, perform and also record songs. God rest Ian and Joy Division, and from here begins the era of New Order. Also Stephen's drumming is bloody incredible.

[@chuffa1130]

I know about you, I would have loved to have been at the show back in 1981, gives me tingles at the very end if you listen carefully at how the crowd erupts! Just know how special that whole tune was and what it meant

[@marlotalbert7084]

Thanks 😉👍

This is why events unnerve me

[@pontypoolcleaning8730]

[@fabiocastillo1972]

Imposible que no te toque el corazón ver a los tres tocando una canción de IAN; 😢casi a forma de despedida después de continuar su camino artístico sin él, con un nuevo y éxitoso sonido.

[@chrislufc]

Ian’s gift to New Order.

[@Petrushka_Editor]

So bittersweet. What a beautiful moment to witness.

[@the_lynx_himself]

[Verse 1] This is why events unnerve me They find it all, a different story Notice whom for wheels are turning Turn again and turn towards this time All she asks the strength to hold me Then again the same old story Word will travel, oh so quickly Travel first and lean towards this time [Verse 2] Oh, I'll break them all, no mercy shown Heaven knows, it's got to be this time Watching her, these things she said The times she cried Too frail to wake this time [Verse 3] Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown Heaven knows, it's got to be this time Avenues all lined with trees Picture me and then you start watching Watching forever [Outro] Forever, watching love grow Forever, letting me know Forever

[@blixnick]

Forever watching Love grow…Curtis’s words enjoy me. N.O was, at this very time, incredibly alive. Even when tune was wrong. Then was released Power..with « age of consent » and «leave me alone »…I was in heaven

[@charlespage8692]

Bernie S. This is your Best, Man. So good. So punk. So original.

[@TheMercury-13]

Watched a great documentary about New Orders 2nd album; love how down to earth & likeable they all are. As a kid listening to music I'd assumed adults had it all sorted; I didn't realise they got nervous, like Barney initially was about his voice, I didn't realise how brave he was to stand up as 'accidental' front-person; fair-play, & to the others, for doing their thing & enhancing the lives of the rest of us with their music, something I'd never have the front to do! 💜

[@happiness8535]

Gillian is playing the guitar.

[@richardrosenberg1204]

Yes she was a multi-instrumentalist. She mainly played the keyboards, but occasionally she was an a guitarist playing along with or without Bernard Sumner.

[@alanstrom2221]

I'm one their biggest supporters and I'm sure this is not a good performance or recording and that's what makes it so good. I saw them LIVE a few times in Sydney in the 80's and they were a trillion times better than this performance.

[@DhafinFausta]

[@willwolf4627]

New Order take a lot of elements from Joy Division, like the 1 minute or more for starting singin, i love it. Also you can see Benard is learning how to sing on this show yet.
