In 1979 on this day, Joy Division opened for The Cure at The Marquee Club in London.

I have no doubt whatsoever it was amazing

Even the documentary 24hr party people couldn't even do it justice. I uhh just meant, that's the story of how a lot of ppl saw the Sex Pistols. But I think I'd rather see Joy Division and the Cure or heck some NewOrder or Buzzcocks.

Agreed. I would also rather see a prime/Metal Box era PiL over the Pistols too.

^^^ definitely

Some of thse responses just scare me. I wouldn't mind cutting tape with Bernie and Hookie. Even though I think they do hate each other now.

Just before Gabba. I am reading visual novels about new generations murders. I still like not being so paranoid and a user name. I know old Legend of Zelda had a kill mode. It just meant erase data.

Hehe dammit. This reminds me. I'd like to write a review about Preston. Maybe in a week or two. It might be short, but the Preston live album is fantastic in how it all fell apart.

Also I looked up and some of that only made sense in my head and well 24hr party ppl.

My memories of the 80s are that as seen through the eye of eyes a child.
All Star Wars, Roller Skates, He-Man, MASK, fluorescence, yuppies, stadium pop, an adult world of cocktails, babycham, discos and a manufactured processed sheen that found its way into everything.

To know that this was doing the rounds back then is absolutely mind melting.

As real deal as it gets

Is 1980 really the peak of all that though?



Half a foot in the late '70s and half a foot in the the early '80s?

There’s something more grim and gritty going on here, magic.

Is this a 5?



Atmosphere/attitude always thought this was a 5...but songfulness I only really felt a 3.5/4.



Probably a 5 down the line and definitely my favourite Joy Division but I'd be being a poseur to rate this higher at this point because I'm still awaiting the definitive 'click'.

Yeah it’s not a personal 5 because it’s just too bloody miserable but as an artistic thing it’s a definitive 5.

The Eternal is a complete funeral dirge, I love it. Atrocity Exhibition is incredible. It's still I hear a lot of these songs live or in different versions off my boxset or what else I dumped onto my phone. Eh here's an old video of Atrocity Exhibition that was missing from youtube until it suddenly wasn't. Probably was a copyright mis-dispute.

That video for Atrocity Exhibition is perfect. And it just reminded me how well the guitar could be treated back in the day.
