Enjoy the actual and complete version of Ceremony played in the Birmingham gig in May 1980. The recording by the engineer starts in the middle of the song, this is the whole thing! Enjoy!

I think its insanely sad that there isnt a good clear Ian version of this song and never will be. Also is it just me or is it sooo sad that there are like no interviews of ian or much videos of him talking? Its fascinating and makes ian much more of a legend because no one knows alot about him other than close friends and family.

@@riftwalkers165I have it on vinyl and it’s clear enough and I don’t like the A.I versions that make Ian sound like a robot. And I like this version too it’s history and should be left the way it is. I know it’s a shame we couldn’t get the Joy Division version as a complete single but you feel it on the live and rehearsal versions and that’s enough for me Not a digital A.I robotic version that sounds clear but lacks the emotion and humanity of these versions.

@@parkermorgan9211 even if he learned of his significance and importance in the world of music, he would still go through with his suicide. Ian was the kind of person that if he made his mind up it would be impossible for him to change it. His illness is what killed him and he was a few years shy from getting the proper medication for his epilepsy. I would often dream of a world where he lived but this world wasn't ready for him as he wasn't ready for it.

A heart felt last gig, live concert with Ian giving his all but not his best. Ian is tired, ill, sad in his life and feels he is letting down those around him who are counting on him. Unfortunatley Ian is the one others had let down in the end. He did not want to be a bother to others with his problems but he was reaching out in his music as cry for help. Had someone truly set down with him in a warm way and give him direction and kept a better eye on him. He was giving all the signs in 1980 with the suicide attempts. How can you love a friend, husband be in Ian's life and not take more of a stand to go the extra mile to be sure he stays around. He is so greatly missed and thought of and loved in his generation and now new generations that have come along. Ian left his mark not only in his music for the ears but in people hearts as well. He also was amazing to see on film live performances and his dancing was unique. He was a beautiful person inside and out for the most part. He was just confused very sick and at times hard to understand by friends and family. But who has the right to hold anything bad against Ian for doing the best he could under his cicumstances. It was hard for him to ask for help.Although he could be very bold at times he still was a shy person in his spirt, things didn't come easy for Ian. Miss and love you Brother. I'm proud of all you did and all your hard work you left behind for others to enjoy. You were an amazing singer,musician,Lyricist and poem writer and a passing angel to this world.God bless you.

Don't think it was that easy for him, he was on like 50 different meds and the world clearly did not understand mental health and depression. As sad and tragic as the Joy Division story is, it is achingly beautiful and perfect in a way. Im so happy the surviving members kept going as New ORder, it was a wonderful journey of hope and growth and great way to keep Ian's legacy alive. Both Joy division and New order are my favourite bands for similar but different reasons. They overlap a great deal without actually being anything alike tonally.

Young Everette. Mental illness is poorly understood by the majority of the public, especially back in 1980. Ian was suffering from Major Depressive Disorder as well as his epilepsy. As I've come to understood in life, the good die young. Such is the case.
