Dear visitors

I hope you have had a good start to the New Year and that 2012 brings you prosperity and happiness.

Owing to certain difficulties at this end, I am unable to post any new concerts at this very moment. In addition, the Rapidshare account has expired - this is the reason why some of the links are not presently working.

I hope to have these issues resolved towards the end of next week.

Best wishes

Happy Xmas!!

Notes from Leaders of Men

2011-12-15T08:29:00.002+01:00

Historical Recording that captures Joy Division (then called Warsaw ) just at their 11th Gig!
This release features 3 Unreleased Songs that most have fans have heard about in books & interviews
Finally this Raw Recording sourced from Original Tape gets vinyl release!

"This gig was very important to them. Gigs were hard to come by. They'd been asked and booked by Bob Last (who later did the Earcom Sampler and Fast Records). Can't remember how. I'm getting old. The band drove up in Steve's car and a hire van, I think. Middlesbrough had a fearsome reputation from the football--- proper nutters! They were bricking it! It was deserted round the gig. Sunday afternoon? There's no shops, pubs or anything! Someone turned up, let them in, they set up, sound checked, and it was good. They had a few beers and relaxed a little, chippy tea, quite civilised for them.

In the evening, people started to arrive, lot's of skinheads. The band seemed scared. By the time it came for them to go on, there were about 200 of the bastards, I remember. The DJ put Adam and the Ants on just before they went on---Dirk Wears White Sox---and they went mad pogoing and throwing beer, fighting.

Then WARSAW went on. They were terrified, but played well, with lots of shouting on stage. Ian was great, screaming his head off. The crowd wasn't friendly. Lots of beer pots were thrown, mostly at Hooky and they kept bouncing off his head. Ha ha!Before you know it, it's over...

The lads seemed okay, apart from Hooky, who's seething. Moaning about the skins, he stomps into the dressing room, which is a weird l-shape. Bernard was at the door to the room when Bob turned up holding a young skinhead by the ear, like a bleedin' schoolteacher. He said to Bernard, "This is the kid who was throwing the pots at Hooky. I brought him to apologise."

Bernard says, "Let him go, it's alright!" So Bob does and I go and tell Hooky. He goes mad at Bernard, and they are fucking screaming at each other. First time I ever saw them fight. Hooky goes after Bob, looking for the skin. Don't know what happened.

A bit later Bob came back and asked if anyone wanted a tape of the gig. No one said anything, then Hooky goes, "I'll have it."

Dear visitors

Regarding the "Leaders of Men" bootleg - I suspected when posting it that Peter Hook's whoever would soon be on to it, and not entirely surprisingly it had indeed disappeared when I logged on in the early hours.

In my listing of postings it was still there, now in "draft" form, and reactivating it unexpectedly brought it back to its rightful place on the front page.

So it is back......for the moment.

It might be worth downloading it sooner rather than later...

Such a shame that the various record company flunkies looking after Peter Hook's interests do not open a line of communication. Hardly seems to be in the spirit of the Factory record company anarchy...

Question

2011-12-11T09:32:00.001+01:00

Dear visitors

Somebody has posted a request about the sound quality of the posted Osaka concert from New Order.

I wonder if one of those who have downloaded it would mind providing an answer? (I have only limited access ti material at present due to moving house).

For the bigger concerts (FLAC), would it be a good idea if I make a sample available so people can then decide if they want it or not? Funny that such an idea takes three years to come to mind...

Have a nice Sunday

Joy Division Photographer Kevin Cummins Book Signing

2011-11-13T18:52:00.001+01:00

Following the extremely successful first few weeks of Proud Camden’s newest exhibition Exemplar: Joy Division, I am pleased to announce that acclaimed photographer Kevin Cummins will be joining us to answer questions about his unique relationship with this iconic band and to sign copies of his book ‘Joy Division’. Cummins archive of Joy Division photographs, rare band ephemera and Ian Curtis’ own notebooks come together to form a definitive monograph which is undoubtedly the most complete celebration of the band on paper. A rare opportunity to meet a true Joy Division insider – this is an unmissable event for any fan. I hope you will agree that this would be of great interest to your readers and that you would consider posting the information on your site.

Admission is free, by reservation only and spaces are limited.

Please email booksigning@proudgalleries.co.uk or call 0207 839 4942 to secure places.

‘Joy Division’ is available for purchase from Proud Camden for £25.

Dear visitors

I hope you have all had a wonderful summer and saw at least some good weather.

Or, if you live south of the equator, I hope the winter has not been too cold...and that spring will be soon arriving.

Regrettably, the hard disc with all my music on it is in its death throes. I am presently transferring the data - at incredibly slow speed - to alternative storage media.

I hope to be able to post some more music some time into next week...

Many thanks to all who mailed or posted information about the 1977 concert from Middlesbrough. "Here today - gone tomorrow", as they say. Sadly, I belong to those who missed the boat, so to speak, so I cannot help.

How ironic though, that for a man from Factory Records, the best label we ever had, Peter Hook's interests are now handled by a record company exec.

"Carrot and Stick", goes the saying - the threatened "further action" in the case of the Jane's Addiction Blog being the latter. But as for the former, the "carrot"? A date perhaps when these concerts, including the Ajanta and Lyceum concerts, the rare She's Lost Control video, might be released? "At some point in the future", was all I got. But one should be grateful for that.

Such are the music industry power games: big labels, with bigshot lawyers to keep the fans in their place. Such a far cry from Factory Records.

"Life is for living", as a certain Peter Hook once said, a wise statement and valuable innoculation against the unhealthy "Ian worshipping" from so many sources (he "died for us", as a foolish journalist is said to have once written).

Maybe "music is for listening to"? If a band, maybe Coldplay or similar, could make a studio album available as a "pay us what you think it's worth" download, why not then a 30-year-old concert?

The Human League rolled into town recently, and watched one of the songs from Dare, my first album, on You Tube. Sounded terribly dated.
This is a much earlier Human League, back in 1978. Sound quality rough, but cool songs mostly from Reproduction.

News...

2011-05-24T08:41:00.000+02:00

Dear visitors

A couple of Joy Division concerts from the Electric Ballroom have been removed by blogger.com owing to an apparent copyright claim.

Just to repeat - it is not the intention of this blogger to offer any material with copyright issues, no albums or released concerts are hosted, and the odd links to such sites posted by visitors have always been deleted as soon as their appearance was noticed. A person undeniably close to the group with expert knowledge of what is copyrighted and not, has been through the material: two recordings from the Lyceum and Ajanta were felt to be potential releases and removed accordingly.

The Rapidshare account is up and running: to my surprise they are now offering referral credits again (visitors who then buy a RS account of whatever sort), meaning the account should be in place definitely for the rest of this year.
That should be enough time to upload the remaining concerts I have.....and there are soon to be many more.

A visitor to the blog, Steve, has offered to provide his digitalised collection of New Order concerts and a number of scanned tickets and articles for the common good.

I will start uploading them in the next few days, in "as is" condition - let's see what goodies are unearthed.....

p.s. Should any of the RS links, downloads, not be functioning, please leave a message.

Have a nice day

In a Lonely Place

2011-05-18T22:43:00.001+02:00

Hmm...great days for Joy Division fans...

Firstly, the much-reported Record Day 12" appears online here, with Ceremony again, but full version of In a Lonely Place. Never-before heard full-length Curtis vocals, sublime in the extreme. "Un performance shamanique et tétanisante"...

Then the already known New Order version of In a Lonely Place, with Hannett at the controls, for me an absolute pop single masterpiece and a worthy successor to Autosuggestion and Atmosphere...

Then this arrives, more JD rough versions of In a Lonely Place.

Too good to be true?

Not yet: the latter post refers scathingly to someone who has leaked even more versions of In a Lonely Place to You Tube.

Great days for Joy Division fans.....

Old arguments return: on the one hand the right of artists to their music; on the other, the wish of their fans to get to hear it. For two days I spend odd free moments listening to these wonderful songs.

Even better days for Joy Division fans...

"A-t-on jamais entendu un groupe meilleur que Joy Division?" - ask the friends at this cool blog.

Listening to Martin Hannett's amazing production of In a Lonely Place, followed then by the full JD version, with Curtis's fragile vocals, it's awfully hard to say no.

As I am writing this, Peter Hook is presumably playing Closer in Manchester. Maybe raising it from its 30-year slumber, maybe butchering it, who knows?

"Life is for living", as he once said.

And, maybe, "music is for listening"?

Dear visitors

Owing to delays with the renewal of the Rapidshare account at which the concerts posted here are stored, it may well be the case that the downloads will temporarily be unavailable, possibly as of this weekend and into next week.

(As I no longer use credit cards, I have to buy the extension via a third party retailer; in a different country, as there is none in the country where I live).

I will keep you updated as to the situation.

Have a nice weekend.
