Joy Division live at "Something Else" BBC 2 TV, 15/09/1979 Transmission, Interview, She's Lost Control (complete JD's BBC footage) Full remastered and upscaled to 720p
@@micahnewman That's one of the reasons why Joy Division is far better then New Order, even tho New Order is good but Not as influential and Legendary as Joy Division.
I was there in the audience in 79, i was 18 nearly 40 years ago,i could not have known what an iconic moment it was,i feel privileged to have had that opportunity,he died not very long after at 21 years old,i always wonder how far they could have gone with Ian.I believe he was still developing a loss of a great talent far too soon.
They would have been famous as New Order is. There’s a rare performance of New Orders song “Ceremony” with Ian singing. Guess you can say it’s a Joy Division song. It had Ian’s lyrics. When I hear New Orders music it sounds like what I think Joy Division would sound like.
Wow you was there. What a magnificent thing to be able to say. I was only 11 years old. But I taped it on vhs and watched it over and over. What a song What a live performance. Still as amazing today in covid 2021 shit show times.
This is my first time seeing Ian Curtis perform. As an adult who had Joy Division music etched into her DNA during her teen years, I have to say the raw talent on display is just mind-boggling. Mental health takes so many talented folks and it sucks that he died so young.

Radio, live transmission Radio, live transmission Listen to the silence, let it ring on Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun We would have a fine time living in the night Left to blind destruction Waiting for our sight And we would go on as though nothing was wrong And hide from these days we remained all alone Staying in the same place, just staying out the time Touching from a distance Further all the time Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Well I could call out when the going gets tough The things that we've learnt are no longer enough No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise Love to the beat of the show And we could dance Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Stinky Steak ile agree with you there prescription drugs are just as bad as illegal drugs and most are harder to come off, ave been there especially with tramadol.
Joy Division is my favorite band, but every time I watch them I can’t help to feel slightly heartbroken for Bernard that his friend and band mate passes and he takes over as lead vocal for the new band. It feels like seeing a car before it crashes, knowing it will crash. I saw new order a few months ago and they played a number of JD songs. I love that they keep the band and Ian’s memory alive.
Astonishing musicianship, supernatural drumming by Stephen, iconic base by Peter, great guitaring by Bernard Sumner and passionate, committed and raw vocals by Ian, an authentic voice in music that will live and stand for all time. Joy Division Forever !
This interview/performance deserves its own FAC number. This should be one of those iconic pieces of history that is forever burnt in the public consciousness.
The energy that comes from Joy Division still sends a wave of electricity through me just as it did for me as a teenager. I find Joy Division's hypnotic enduring and inspiring sound and lyrics to be the greatest musical moment that ever fleetingly existed.
me too i'm 52 can't stop listening to them never realised i knew a lot of their tracks such a unique sound. Can't believe the killers covered Shadowplay??...Wow!
Amazing band. Sad I was too young to see them play. My favourite story about the band is that a young Shane McGowan went to see a London gig by Joy Division and later commented on Curtis' performance. He said he was scared to go for a piss in case he missed something....
Thanks for uploading this in excellent quality. I remember first seeing it almost when it was broadcast. I say almost, because I was at boarding school at the time, and we were required to be somewhere where I couldn't watch TV on a Saturday evening. Personal VCRs were practically unheard of at the time, so as someone taking an A Level in the audio visual department, I convinced the tech to record it, so me and some friends could watch it later. We gathered Monday during lunchtime in the TV studio to see it, a real epiphany for me. I was also lucky enough to see them live in London about a month later at the Electric Ballroom. Great memories.
I was born and raised in Manchester. I was a huge Joy division fan from my early teens and my current partner was brought up in a house a few doors down from Ian's in Macclesfield. Then when I was about 24 I was told my childhood best friend had hanged himself while living down in London. He was 25. The weird thing is looking at Ian in this video he still looks and feels older than me or my friend and I'm 28 now. Ian was 23 when he passed. I look back and think of how young my friend was and he still feels like my best mate at 17. Time has a weird impact on us all but to think Ian died at 23 with a wife and child and a huge future ahead of him yet he feels eternal to us. I dunno, it just makes me thinks. RIP Matt, you are missed every single day.
Still incredible sum of more than the parts forever unique will never tire of being moved by Joy Division just on a different level to most bands end of.
Watching these men, and Ian in particular, I am reminded of a few words from Reverend Andre Crouch's sermon "Premature Autopsies": Nobility is always born somewhere out there in the world, and when you live in a democratic nation you have to face the mysterious fact that nobility has no permanent address, you have to face the fact that nobody has nobility’s private phone number. Nobility is not listed in the phone book. Nobility is not listed in the society column, nobility shows up where it feels like showing up, and where it feels like showing up might be just about anywhere.
Absolutely on a level No one other band has reached and all under 25, blows my mind what they achieved together in such a short time, they would have been the biggest band in the world, joy division and new order play the theme tunes to my life; when you get it you know
You can't deny the musical talent that comes from Manchester..and as someone from Dublin its cool to see so many Irish surnames on lots of the greats🍀🍀🎵🎵
to be fair, many people did not realise at the time. Their music was revolutionary and very different from everything else up until that point. Although people could trace some influences (e.g. Punk, and Krautrock) their music and sound was so innovative that most people did not know what to make of it. Another thing that fascinates me is that their live performances sound very different from their recorded music: their producer was determined to use all the technology available at the time to intensify some aspects of their music. In the studio version, the production gives their music a sense of space and distance (e.g. through the use of echo effects), and this enhances a sense of estrangement and alienation. In their live shows -like this one- they sound more visceral. I love them both, their records and their live shows, and is a great fortune that such material -like this show- is now available widely.
I never realised i knew most of the tracks joy division bought out . Didn't think that the killers one of my fave bands covered the joy division song "Shadowplay" as well now i can't get enough of listening to them...just awesome such a unique sound.
Tony Wilson was a visionary for picking up on all the young raw talent that was erupting out of Manchester and other cities at this time. He was a really from an older generation but picked up on this fresh new sound and saw the potential in them. He had his flaws but he was a believer.
Le visage d'ange, le regard hanté de Ian Curtis dégagent tant de souffrance... Et il transcende sa personne pour incarner cette souffrance en un mythe absolu. Il est possédé, habité. L'artiste total, celui qui joue sa peau dans la partie... C'est magnifique et tragique.
