  3. 🇬🇧 Joy Division "That’ll Be the End (Live at the Ajanta Cinema, Derby, UK, April 19th 1980)" – 2020

    Capturing one of the band’s final performances. The sound is immediate and unvarnished with a tense, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that reflects the band at a critical moment.
    Ian Curtis delivers a fragile yet intense performance...

  4. One of the best bass lines in music history

    Joy Division - She's Lost Control (Live At Something Else Show)

    Notes:
    "She's Lost Control" was first performed live by the band in June 1978 and draws primary lyrical inspiration from a young woman experiencing a violent epileptic seizure 😢

  5. JOY DIVISION
    1979 BBC Recordings
    2022 Europe pressing
    [unofficial]

    I was in the mood for some Joy Division today, but wanted something a bit different than Unknown Pleasures or Closer.
    So I decided on this EXCELLENT sounding bootleg of the band’s 1979 BBC sessions.

    Killer set list here. And again… it SOUNDS killer. The fidelity is top-notch and it sounds like they’re in the room.

    These white-covered Radio Broadcast releases have all sounded fantastic.

    Man, were these guys incredible live. They are absolutely ON FIRE here.

  10. Composed 45 years ago

    Handwritten lyrics for "Love Will Tear Us Apart," written by Ian Curtis in August 1979

    What only became known after his death 💔

    Curtis sings about himself, shares his pain, and speaks about his inner anguish over the breakup of his marriage to Deborah Curtis.

  15. Gister was het 45 jaar geleden dat Ian Curtis zichzelf verhing. Hij was 23. Vader van een dochter. Getrouwd, nog wel. En zanger van Joy Division. Hun tweede plaat was net af en ze stonden op het punt om te gaan touren in Amerika.

    Het is bekende muziekgeschiedenis. Er zijn diverse boeken en films over verschenen.

    Ik stond ooit voor het huis in het Macclesfield waar Ian op zijn laatste avond […]

  16. Giusto 3 giorni fa ricordavo il fumetto uscito l'anno scorso dedicato ai #JoyDivision. Ma nel 2007 ci fu un #film che raccontò soprattutto la vita del loro cantante #IanCurtis (che morì il 18 maggio 1980) diretto dal creatore dell'immagine dei #DepecheMode. Mi sembra abbia molto senso.
