Don't know anymore where this came from, some bootleg or other: this is the song as on the video from Manchester, but it has been slowed down and made louder.
Worth a listen? Naturally.....

New Order - Rennes - 11 Dec 1985 - flac
Excellent sound quality from this late 1985 gig.
Not quite my cup of tea, but State of the Nation is a pretty cool pop song.
Another concert that might as well have been recorded in a studio.

Article
This informative article spills the beans: Peter Hook is to play the album Closer in its entirety on 18 May 2011 in Manchester (the date no doubt a complete coincidence) ....and then tour with it.
Hmm...listening to Hooky doing Unknown Pleasures is one thing (all that ace power bass from Day of the Lords etc. has his stamp all over it), but the likes of The Eternal and Decades? Hopefully he will not totally crucify the songs...or maybe a crucified Decades is better than none at all?
Tickets available here.

Joy Division - She's Lost Control - 20 Jul 1979 (What's On Granada TV)
I don't know who is so keen to stop this imperfect clip being shown, or for that matter why.
It is also possible to leave a comment at the end of this posting on why, or send the blogger an email explaining what the issue is.
Maybe it would be amusing to have one of those naff "online polls" to vote on who it could be: the record company, another blogger, Bernhard Sumner, some "band friend" etc.
Honestly........
Please note: this is the ultra-rare TV screening from 20 July 1979!!

JD @ Ajanta
As was the case around a year ago, somebody has made contact about one of the concerts here. The person offered credible indicators that he was close to the remaining members of Joy Division, or their label, or both.
Apparently, the lossless WAV recording from the Ajanta, top quality and better than other versions floating around, belongs to an unnamed bootlegger - not it should be pointed out the wonderful Duncan, source of so many excellent early New Order concerts and who has seeded these over the last few years to DIME. Probably every fan of the Division owes him a fortune...!
The anonymous taper had apparently given the originals to the record company to be released as the "CD2's" on the remastered studio albums. The record company and/or band decided differently; then the concerts were leaked by somebody on the inside to the wider world, without the agreement of the taper, it goes without saying...
So that's it - that version of that concert has gone. I wonder which one will be next...
What irks a little, is the following: the first person to contact, about the Lyceum concert (now incidentally busy blog-sharing THE STUDIO ALBUMS) - gave some kind of hint that the Lyceum concert would be released in the near future - which never happened. Now the Ajanta version is gone as well. Me wonders why the group do not sit down with their tapers and figure out how to divide the spoils, then release these things commercially. Seems a shame that music just sits in record companies' vaults, when it is a piece of cake today to make things available via iTunes shop etc. Vive la digitalisation....
For me, it is only about that - that people should be able to listen to the music they most desire. Music unheard after all is not music. If it were not for digitalisation, I and no doubt many other visitors would never have heard any of the material on this site - and wouldn't we be the poorer for it?
Ah well, how about something for those who think outside the confines of the silo? Digitalisation brought me so much more than Joy Division concerts, for example an introduction to music in other languages.

"Prijatan dan zelim"

Many thanks to....
....The Happy One, who is taking the trouble to add information on the various concerts that are hosted here.
The information is at present in the comments section, but I hope to add it to the description in time.
Information he provides on how many different recordings exist per concert, or who recorded what, is definitely a big benefit!.

New Order - Manchester - 23 Apr 1981 - flac
Ooh.....this is an absolute diamond...
Half warm-up, half with audience, one classic song after another.
They even have a stab at "Digital" (how prophetic that Joy Division song was!)
The lossless concert, in spite of its size, is a must, this is as good as sound from 1981 gets!
Duncan the bootlegger - the ultimate Joy Division hero?!? Can't thank him enough....
