The Last Performance

and that was it. at least it was professionaly recorded. However, it would had been nice had they not fucked up Ceremony. I blame Martin Hannett (who recorded it). Here is the complete gig, soundboard version. A Means to an End is my favorite Joy Division song, and I still can't decide if this rockin' live version is better than the album version. Both are scorchers.

Here Are the Young Men (Audio)


Various Performances found on this CD. Decent sound, and includes the Apollo gigs in October, Shadowplay on Granada, and some other stuff.

Leigh Festival


Joy Division's performance on August 27th, 1979 at the Leigh Festival. Very average recording, and difficult to make out at points. I've uploaded it because it also includes an interview with Ian Curtis on Radio Blackburn.

Rainbow Theater


Joy Division's performance at the Rainbow Theater on November 9th, 1979. Quality on the first night is about a 7-, and quality on the second is about a 5, horrid, so i'm not even going to upload it. There are about 10 Joy Division recordings that aren't even listenable, so i'm not going to upload them, it's a waste of bandwith and time.

Hempel


Joy Division's performance on November 5th, 1979. Quality rates about a 7+, but I really love this gig. Great version of New Dawn Fades and She's Lost Control, plus you get the soundcheck, which I always love.

Nashville Rooms (Aug)


Joy Division's performance at the Nashville Rooms on August 13th, 1979. This is supposedly the gig Annik first attended. Also, the bootleg is only 4 songs long as apparantly, the taper was asked to leave. Sad, because the quality is about a 7+. At least he recorded Candidate.

Joy Division's performance on August 11th, 1979. Quality about a 7-. Not much else to say other than the end of Ice Age is cut, and Joy Division actually played two performances this evening, which was rare for them.
