class ! always loved joy division
Yeah - genius band - I particularly like this version of LWTUA taken from a Peel session - I think the drums sound particulalry good on this for some reason.
Iconic song.
Wasn’t into them as a 9 year old though 
Brilliant! Joy Division and New Order are big faves of mine 
Can’t beleive Ian Curtis left us at 23. 
and 31 years ago ! that’s hard to believe as well isn’t it, think i’m about to have a joy division sesh, need to hear she’s lost control now ! 
Yeah - strange how the music from this era still sounds as fresh and relevant as ever and doesn’t seem to date - I mean - imagine being around in 1980 and playing popular music from 30 years previously - you’d be talking about 1950 - now that would have sounded massively dated! :w00t:
Nice early live TV appearance by JD doing ‘Control’
it doesn’t get a lot better than that does it
Yeah - absolutely - Curtis is totally mesmeric - like a man possessed.
It must have been amazing to have seen them live.
i have a few mates who saw them live,they are always going on about it lol, i was a couple of years too young, didn’t go to my first gig til '81, which was the birthday party supporting bauhaus at the lyceum, birthday party blew them off stage 
Excellent!
Missed Joy Division but saw New Order, just a few times!
have several Vikings badges
And get to see this lot quite often…
Never get bored of this song. And the millions of cover versions that made me start this thread : http://londonbikers.com/forums/Topic710677-84-1.aspx
The Nouvelle Vague version makes me feel very summery
Talking of cover versions of this, what about…

I’m beginning to get what my dad meant when I was going on about some album that was awesome and he said “I’ve already heard it”
I guess that’s a backhanded compliment to the original…
