The darkest, most haunting version of Ian Curtis' absolute masterpiece. Humanity sure as hell lost something, when Ian died.

When the hellish audio quality cannot even begin to compete with the power of the performance, that's when you know this was a godly show.

holy jesus, just look at this picture. he is not singing, he is crying for help. this perfomance killed me

i was there. Intense doesn't do it justice. Raw, emotional and beyond music as most people will ever experience it. We lost Ian and got Bono, one of life's great injustices.

The black sabbath influence shines through in sumner's tone, yet it manifests a place of its own, the sign of a true musician.

Nothing can compete with this. Lyrics are amazing, and the desperation in Ians voice. Absolute magnifisant!

“Watching it fade away” I wish that part made it into the studio version

You can just hear the raw energy of the dark melody. This is a band at peak power

First ever gig I went to. I was 15.

I wish the audio quality wasn't potato. The intensity is incredible here.

This is the vocal performance of a man possessed with a catharsis of emotions. It is hauntingly beautiful and is why I love live music. Martin Hannett was a genius in the studio but nothing compares to the sheer, raw energy of Joy Division on stage.

Fuck dude. That drummer is killing it.

"Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire

Mesmerizing. Revolutionary. Nasty. Raw. Legendary. The band that spawned a generation. I can still feel the excitement of that time, and how the music was like throwing a molotov cocktail down the dusty worn out alley of smoothed out 70's pop trash.

the one and only Ian Curtis - his voice & poetry changed my life

I cried hearing this. I can say it is one of the most poingnant moments in music history ever since the time of creation and we’re hearing it.

My favourite joy division track. The lyrics hit hard. I used to play this back in the late 90s when i was in a band. Every time we played it, it nearly brought me to tears. Powerful

Joy Division were one of the most powerful bands of all-time!

OMG Ian's live vocals are so intense. Holy smokes.

It's always interesting to see how the same song can change based on inflection of the singer: this version being the angry, defiant Ian while the last concert on Still version is the depressed, resigned, and defeated Ian.
