Soon, I will likely compile all videos of Joy Division performances in general that I can find. I had a compilation for all audio recordings of Joy Division that were ever made (including the infamous and mysterious Band on the Wall tape) in the works, but it got all the way up to 17 hours long, and it would have been hell to render and upload, so I scrapped it. Update: It's out. ruclips.net/video/MxW4SSGB-kc/видео.htmlsi=bP4Enn-ENkIm1zSg
Excellent work these are true gyms in the history of progressive rock ‘n’ roll, punk rock, British music, etc. Joy Division have been a personal favorite for decades. Keep up the great work peace
There were only three channels in those days, with closedown at about mudnight so I'm surprised that they got any TV time at all. it required a savvy and pushy Tony Wilson to convince broadcasters to take a risk in showing off these gems.
Medication for the seizures he was having wasn’t far out, if he would have held on a little longer, how phenomenal that would have been. There are artists that die that I know would have been so much more, and have transitioned music through low spots like disco and what’s happening now. We need TV shows that showcase good music, not what the industry wants to jam down our throats!
the fact they were this young playing this tight/accurate with zero holes in their sound AND their sound was like nothing else at the time shows how big Joy Division could’ve been.
Still crazy to me how I see Joy Division and Pink Floyd t shirts at target while most people who might even enjoy the musick still don’t know the extent of thr darkness of the bands histories

They called it an "anti-image." They looked like regular working-class blokes and it inspired a lot of people. Didn't do interviews either, and when they did, they would just joke the whole time, it pissed off media companies. Kinda like what the Sex Pistols did but less aggressive and with a more average look.
@@joellebrodeur1015 In their early times, they dressed differently. Semi-flashy black clothes, a more tame version of early punk fashion. They dropped it pretty quickly. They were pretty much the only punk band back then that just started dressing normally.
Iam starting to realise how good a drummer Morris was and brought it all together,often drummers are side lined and insignificant but with JD it was so much more.
@@marine4lyfe85comes from a novel called House of dolls. In the book the term joy division was used as a slang term for concentration camp units wherein female inmates were forced to prostitute themselves for the pleasure of nazi soldiers.
@@marine4lyfe85Ian had read the book "House Of Dolls" which contains material about Nazi concentration camps. Back then a lot of people were obsessed with the idea of the war. In the book there was a section of the camp called the "Joy Division" which was a brothel with Jewish women who were forced into sexual labor by the Nazis, for the Nazis. They chose that name likely to be shocking because a lot of punk bands had played with Nazi imagery. Not because they supported the idea, but rather to freak people out.
One of a number of cruel twists of fate behind the brilliant Joy Division: The band were booked to perform "Ceremony" & "Heart & Soul" live at BBC studios in May 1980. They arrived at the studio, but the sound engineers never arrived. Back then, UK had lots of workers out on a general strike. So Joy Division were asked to reschedule the date & return soon after. Sadly, by then Ian had departed.
Oh wow, that is absolutely awful 'timing'! I never knew that. Maybe if the sound engineers hadn't been on strike then the elevated status to JD that this performance would surely have had might have given Ian something else to think about?🤷♂️ Tragic.
@@tonypaddler Indeed so. A number of unlucky experiences seem to have beset this great band. - I first read about it in a biography of Ian Curtis, "Torn Apart", by Mick Middles & Lindsay Reade. Ian Curtis mentions it in a letter to Annik Honore. Joy Division were to perform both songs on 8th May. But (my error) it was actually scheduled at Granada Studios for a TV programme called "Celebration". The general strike also affected the availability of TV camera staff, et al. So, alas, it wasn't to be.
@@kathleensalazar5222 It was actually suicide, though his epilepsy was an aggravating factor. Perhaps pertinently, he died on the eve of their first American tour.
@@kanashiimurakamisan thank you very much for that information, it really does make it all the more tragic when there is an 'if only' side to the story.
It’s crazy to think what an impact punk had on music. Kids were forming bands in the basements, bedroom, garden shed and anywhere they could. So many acts and groups today can be traced to the punk and new wave from Joy Division Bananarama, to Simply Red to The Smiths, The Cure, U2, A Flock of Seagulls to the Stone Roses.
I am manic depressive. Saw hell before the iron curtain fell when I was 15. Saw hell when I was 55 after the fall of the iron curtain. Psychosis happens. Thanx 4 Joy Division, however !
-- The more time passes, the more I wonder if any of this ever happened. It seems so amazing and so fantastical, to be true. Rest in peace Ian, hard to believe it’s been 44 years. 💔
It seems a shocking performance today for its artistic heavyness and at the same its magic charme, can you imagine the feeling this has to give to the audiences of the time?
I'm a 65 y/o Northwestern American. By the time i heard JD, Ian was already dead. Mid 80s. There was no internet, and music press didn't mention them. I loved them from the first song, based on recordings alone, and knew nothing about them. Haven't had many such experiences of hearing a new sound and instantly feeling connected, like a part of me that was alone now had a friend. I love all kinds of music, pretty much every kind, but i will always consider Joy Division my favorite band.
I live in fashon-addicted-town in south europe but also for us was not so easy to have notices of them as we have in little way for Bauhaus and Cure. They were considered the best 'dark-new wave band' but standing in a magic untouchable place in which nobody was sure of its existence. Plus: two weeks ago someone gave me a photo of a show from November '81 of the band i was in and we were called ourself Power Division. I think it was inspired from a mithical but also mostly unknown band.. I mean, none could give to their band the name Love Pistols or Living Joke or Replace Mode in that year.. Apachi and the Whitchees or Green Sad Really Better maybe sound good for cover bands that luckly did not existed in those years. Instead in my town it was a metal band called Iron Mould.. they said they existed a year before the Iron Maiden made their first record and became so famous
Emotional, historic, important, and devistatingly urgent and groundbreakingly original versions, here.. dollars to donuts better than the original studio versions, in my book.. long, good, restfull sleep, brother Ian ;) ❤ sfp
I respect good music. Not my favorite band by a longshot. However, that first clip is pure and raw. That is something that will never be repeated. Especially how things work now.
They almost did one more television session...It was gonna take place on May 9 on Something Else. They were gonna play "Ceremony" and "Heart and Soul." Didn't happen because the fucking cameraman went on strike.
It's staggering that they were so young and accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. Just the sheer amount of bands that they influenced... incredible but so tragic
Ian Curtis's spirit lives on in his songs, he never left here, his body just decided to set his spirit free of pain so he could be immortalized in his artwork. Our heartsongs are the place where we feel joy and rapture. Ian went home, where the heart is. ♡ Spirit is eternal. 🎶👻
So sad and crazy that Ian Curtis unalived himself right before their last album came out and was a smashing success! Maybe it would not have changed things in Ian’s mind but would have loved to see what other songs they would have come out with!
Rest in Paradise Ian ... genius ... such a talented group without realizing how talented they really were ... thanks for sharing this awesome piece of music history
What a treasure trove! I've been revisiting Joy Division for the past few days and I honestly reckon this live version of Transmission is BETTER than the album version. Steves drums are incredible! Thanks for archiving this matey x
Thank you for putting this together in 2021 I think I discovered that I truly truly loved just about everything JD Joy division ever did and how much I loved Ian Curtis and like the others as soon as I see him I mesmerized and just went on a journey looking for everything in the highest quality I could find on RUclips including the transmissions releases where they talked about their story and it was sad how little there is live agreed their French named live album was one of my favorites, les bains douches
Possibly you'd like some Warsaw versions of notable JD songs [initially Warsaw songs]; it's funny they were also known for the production on drums, but that kind of drumming heavely 80's.. it doesn't appear neither here nor in the Warsaw recordings
"They were once called Warsaw, but I think Joy Division has a much nicer ring to it." Yup, "Nazi Holocaust Sex Slaves" definitely has a nicer ring to it. I love Joy Division. Between Joy Division and New Order, they shaped what new music would become for 2 decades afterward. But, "Joy Division" literally means, "Nazi Holocaust Sex Slaves".
Hello, vampyra1453. Thanks for the clips, I really enjoyed them. Poor lad - his vulnerability, sadness, sincerity, and wisdom is written all over him. He was so handsome, too. Bit like that guy out of the Manics, Richie Edwards. Hopefully in this day and age, folk are a bit more alert to the warning-signs before things get critical. 👍
So, judging by a comment below, I've had the 2 Joy Division albums approx 44 years? And they are both in perfect condition along with all the hundreds of LPs I bought before 44 years ago & after 44 years ago
So sad that there's so little film/video of Joy Division. Even sadder that we didn't get to see what more they could do. I have faith that Joy Division would have been even more interesting and influential over time. Thanks so much for uploading this. I saved it, so you'll probably get quite a few views from me
The most surprising and perhaps unrepeatable thing is the perfect alchemy arisen from these 4 guys, each unique and unrepetable in their domain, but able together to go beyond the limits of everything that had existed musically before.
@@vampyra1453 I was also 14 and recall seeing it. I was looking forward to seeing Buzzcocks the following month and now it had an added impact with JD supporting. The TV clip hit home but I have a bizarre (false?) memory of seeing Ian do his strange dance with a tea cosy type knitted hat.... that must have been a dream!
Thanks for this, such an incredible band. I never got to see them live, too young. So first chance was New Order in 1984, who were great with analogue synths and the feeling that at any moment it could all fall apart while being just beautiful.
I always love the somewhat rackety and thrown together nature of older New Order performances. It somehow makes them better. There's one I remember watching a video of where Bernard just yells "turn off the light you cunt" right as the beat-drop on Blue Monday happens, and that just made me think "these guys really are just a bunch of punk blokes with synths."
@@vampyra1453 I saw New Order 4 or 5 times, the best was the one in 84, Blue Monday took five minutes to set up (roadies and the band setting up the sequencers) it was just floor shaking and ear drum killing brilliance. My other memory from that gig was that Thieves Like Us had just hit the charts and the audience sang along to the chorus, all the band had the broadest of smiles at that.
Great to see these again, thank you! I was listening to Still last night in the studio, not many bands can achieve this level of stripped down majesty, they were profound and most certainly a zeitgeist and they still sound completely fresh and relevant. I’ve been listening to them since 1985. The lyrics to Digital sounded so prophetic last night.
apparently the full version of the she's lost control performance in granada was shown in episode 1 of guy garvey from the vaults (which is available for streaming)
Transmission dance dance dance to the radio 🎉😢❤😔 , and disorder done live plus lyrics let alone most everything else like 24 hours really hits the feels and my favorites, while Love will tear us apart version featured in Donnie Darko will always be my number one favorite that I heard first before the others
I always prefer the live version of She's Lost Control from July 1979 to the studio version and live version from September 1979. Ian Curtis in color with Stephen's amazing drums and Bernard's charging guitar come across so great.
Transmission was and today is a music than more play in radio here in Brazil . Ian Curtis really suffer witch their illness . These guys were amazing . Thank you so much Vampyra1453 , i never had saw image of Joy Dvision with quality .
What a band, like many other young uns back then i got into music in a band and was so inspired by Peter Hook i went down to London armed with £300 and bought a 1972 Ric 4001 only to find out years later Hooky was playing some crappy Hondo thing lol. Brilliant video but still really sad seeing Ian Curtis absolutely off his head on Transmission and Lost control, i still wonder whether the people around him could have done more, very sadly missed and only he knows what other masterpieces could have come out of this band.

I've just realized how much Ian Curtis looked like Keir Dullea from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Plus he sang like Hal 9000!
Probably intentional, as New Order they sampled the film in the song Murder.
Joy Division!!!!!!! The best for ever.
The older I get ,the better they get 😂
Haunting. Absolutely haunting. Thank you for this. Seeing Ian enjoying performing is a gift.

Thank You Ian, and Thank You Tony
Enjoyed this very much... i arrived London in June 1980 and Joy Division was no more ... but their music is still here!!
I was in Amsterdam Paradiso every nights for two weeks around winter 83 and I noticed how their last JD show was a so vivid memory there
The videos display the ultimate charisma of Ian very well.

if he didn't know then he knew soon after as he signed them to his label.

@@thewkovacs316 oh aye ...him - indeed.
“Joy Division has, I think, a nicer ring to it…” 😂
It could be worse.. A friend of mine used to call them joy Davidson 😂😂
All.i can think is that ian had so much on his mind..😢
Sadly not his child...

The fine song Shadowplay by Joy Division is great ! Wonderful ! Fine music :) . John Coolman
Wat was Joy Division goed. Daar kan ik naar blijven kijken en luisteren.
If only the presenters on Shadow Play actually knew where the name 'Joy Division' originated 🧡
Awesome. So great to see this great band in one place. Hookie rocks it!
No words ❤
apparently the full version of the she's lost control performance in granada was shown in episode 1 of guy garvey from the vaults (which is available for streaming)
Primordial
So good live. Just perfect!
Listened to joy division at the time at night in the dark says it all
Transmission dance dance dance to the radio 🎉😢❤😔 , and disorder done live plus lyrics let alone most everything else like 24 hours really hits the feels and my favorites, while Love will tear us apart version featured in Donnie Darko will always be my number one favorite that I heard first before the others
Dit was zo ruw,rauw en puur. Het was best ook een aardverschuiving dit soort muziek en de zang erbij gezongen.
I feel so old.
You probably are
I always prefer the live version of She's Lost Control from July 1979 to the studio version and live version from September 1979. Ian Curtis in color with Stephen's amazing drums and Bernard's charging guitar come across so great.
Transmission was and today is a music than more play in radio here in Brazil . Ian Curtis really suffer witch their illness . These guys were amazing . Thank you so much Vampyra1453 , i never had saw image of Joy Dvision with quality .

Thank you so much
Obrigado
What a band, like many other young uns back then i got into music in a band and was so inspired by Peter Hook i went down to London armed with £300 and bought a 1972 Ric 4001 only to find out years later Hooky was playing some crappy Hondo thing lol. Brilliant video but still really sad seeing Ian Curtis absolutely off his head on Transmission and Lost control, i still wonder whether the people around him could have done more, very sadly missed and only he knows what other masterpieces could have come out of this band.
Excellent audiovisual material , jewel stuff !!!! Thanks a lot for uploading for us UK Music lovers alternative scenes!!! Im very Happy

When confronted with the possibility of Foot Amputation I was told I will never run again. “But I WILL dance”
I said

Ian Curtis tapped into something deep the same way Hilma af Klint did, Gustav Jung, etc
