Lyrics
Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Well I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that's all we need know
To synchronise love to the beat of the show
And we could dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio - Hudba
Stephen Morris is an absolute machine.
It is very similar to Matt Tong.
Give him some water jeez
Its fun to watch other drummers try and cover this and fail.
@@luisgomez-mx1bc oh yeah. Now I realised
A human drum machine!
Stephen Morris absolutely slayed the drums on this song. To keep that furious tempo going for 3 straight minutes and never missing a beat is friggin miraculous
His work on the cymbals is such a fantastic part of JD/NO. He really shines here and on "Ceremony" as well.
I drum mate and this is so difficult, like a frigging drum machine. Too fast for me!
I used to play guitar in a group of friends when I was younger. When we played this, I would look at the drummer and it looked like a bucket of sweat was dropped on him. Totally drenched. The 16th on the cymbals are real tough.
Inhuman pace!
this band just amazes me. it makes me wish i grew up during this era
That crowd has No Idea they are witnessing history.
I hope they danced to the radio
@@Brain_Juice Well put my friend, well put. I think the only cure for c**ts and Wa**kers is kindness. I hope you have that in your life.
I think some of them knew
Fully aware sir, I’m 58 and have hardly any memory of it now, but went regularly to the show , I was 15, same night as the jam, who were my faves at the time, only ended up here due to showing my 14 yr old granddaughter
@@johkymyou sir kick ass.
I play unknown pleasures for my kids a lot(7 and 3). My 7 year old thinks every song sounds painful….. that’s a far reaching message.
And my wife knows that’s disorder is the one song I request at my funeral.
It's amazing how each instrument is front and center, yet they leave so much space for each other.
Beautifully put
They were a complete band. 4 very talented musicians
On point!
Great comment
Masterclass comment.
the four of them had an anti rock look, they looked like 4 standard office workers and the music is so deep, singular and unique. I find that so fascinating
I always dug their style. It's that preppy look, all but Hooky are clean shaven and all of them have short hair. Bernard Sumner stands out the most to me, looks the most preppy and has that simple haircut, parted to the side, and swept to one side.
I love it!
My dad says it just how punk rocks dressed back the before the spikes trends. Even Black Flag used to perform with button shirt like this.
@@bleachvisionTV your dad doesn't know everything
A lot of us dressed like that in the 80's sta press suits, thin ties, wedge haircuts.
How fast can you play the drums?
Stephen Morris : Yes.
Try listening to deathcore or black metal. That's fast and not this.
@@depousinho bro shut up
@@Hillman-vi9hk and you are who?
@@depousinho someone telling you to shut up
duh
@@Hillman-vi9hk it's not my problem if people thinks that is fast and it isn't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Definitely one of the greatest bands of all time.
What’s this “one of” shit.
This is why I love British music. We had similar musical movements, but this work is singularly extraordinary. That’s why UK music of the time was so popular in America. The essence displayed here is so English in its wonderful weirdness.
Who knew that being weird was such a factor of genius?
Eccentric
@@James-dx8qb me
@@James-dx8qb Everyone but you , being bog standard means staying bog standard and never leaving anything of any note behind
So privileged to have seen them live>
Proof that a great bass line doesn’t need to be complicated
well said lad, well said, exactly.
The only reason he was allowed to keep playing a regular bass in blue Monday was because of his skill and how it couldn’t be recreated on a machine.
Exactly 💯
Yup, but it's better with this powerful drummer
Peter Hook just has a cool name.
Joy Division didn't need a drum machine, they already had one.
Stephen Morris- the machine
Fuelled by
Coke
Very few complete bands where every person in the band is top notch. Zepellin and Doors immediately come to my mind.
You just summed up my feelings I’ve been ranting on about for years in a single terse sentence.
No joke, I've been working on playing this song. I had to stop after a week because I couldn't straighten my arms out without wincing. I've since slowed the tempo down and have been working my way up. This is seriously one of the biggest mental challenges I have ever tried musically.
@@vampirelogic yeah i tried learning this and just gave up in the end from pain lol
The way Stephen morris playing the exact same thing on the high hat that first double time for the whole song and doesn’t go out of time or miss Rhythm is insane This dude invented trap
The raw energy in this performance will never cease to electrify me so much. Forever one of my favourite bands
Ian had the best dance moves.
KAZUYA MISHIMA
@@suzymanville232he was epileptic is way he moved like that
Man dressed as Geography teacher becomes musical ICON.
why is that so accurate
Totally.

Which one? They all look like history teachers...because they were
I liked Geography at school, dreaming about all these places I could never afford to visit.
"Existence is.. well.. what does it matter? I exist on the best terms I can. The past is now part of my future. The present is well out of hand."

HEART AND SOUL

Man I love those lyrics so haunting
One will burn~
his greatest lyrics for me👌
What strikes me most about this song is how stark and minimalist it is, yet it packs a sonic punch that is enthralling and all consuming.
Well said😊
Stephen's fills during the chorus (Dance, dance to the radio) are spectacular in their precision and timing. What a drummer!
I know right thats what I noticed
🥁🤖
Stephen Morris on those drums though. That man has some real speed.
Satsuma amphetamine like
Satsuma Salanewt flies under the radar of musics good Drummers
He's like a tornado inside a hurricane on industrial strength speed. Fucking boss. I love this vid. Every one of them is on fire & fuckin' killing it! Priceless vid. Playing drums like that would kill me after about 30 fuckin' seconds!
NOT MY FUCKING TEMPO!
so cool and never miss's a beat
A dose of Joy Division a day, keeps the fake feelings away.
And fake friends away
Thank you, and double triple doses!
what did you mean with your comment?
@@McHoneyBunnyLPs I think they mean they have an infatuation that they want to get rid of but they can't stop thinking of the person
Or you dont want any feelings
This is a religious experience. Its cuts through reality to the eternity beyond.
Just four working class guys from Manchester. I love how Ian’s mural is still up in the Northern Quarter in Manchester
i've never seen a man with such sadness in his face, he sings with such conviction.
JRaw NY yes, and he also sings with an incredible powerfull, their music is Amazing.
Right?
yes it is very disturbing in a good way, you can really feel it.
Thank fuck people can see it. I identify with Ian so much. Love Will Tear Us Apart describes the shit I'm going through spookily acurately. And watching this video SHOWS you what you HEAR in LWTUA. Peace.
JRaw NY the severe epileptic attacks and depression excacerbated it and reflected in his writing (songs.)
Each instrument was a lead.. one of the only bands to pull that off with so much atmosphere yet so simple too. Shit give me goosebumps 20 years later.
YES! That's what that is! Seriously, I've been trying to figure out what made this band so unique in sound for years and thats what it is. There is no 'forefront' or backing of a song, its all flowing equally.
The Who.
The Stranglers

Who's here 2024
Dance to radio 🕺
Me. Stephen Morris is a machine. Impressive!!

One of their best. Great to dance to. RIP Curtis, 43 years 2023.❤️
Stephen Morris is a human drum machine. Insanely great drummer!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔁
He is great.
Was he replaced by a machine in New Order?
Wrong! he is not a human he is a robot.
Him and Jimmy Chamberlain are my favourite drummers
Joy Division continues to be futuristic, no mater the decade.
A-fucking-men.
Timeless
Always vanguard! Their minds were beyond!
In deed!
Exactly.
The first 30 seconds of this song literally gives me goosebumps. Every time.
its the "DAAAAAAAANCE" scream that always gets me goosebumps, around 2:30. I'm 21, and i will never thank enough my father for sharing me this.
One of my favorite songs from Ian. Ian makes you feel like you are seeing and hearing through his own soul. This is what made him one of a kind.
Many people still mistake Ian’s dancing as part of his epilepsy, while in fact it wasn’t. As his band mates explained, Ian was simply “lost in the music”.
Mr Death No one thinks his dancing is part of his epilepsy mate. Like, no one.
@@DrCheeks you clearly didn't look at the rest of the comments
That makes sense, since he's still able to sing and perform during his dancing. I admit it looks scary when you take into account what happened to him, but nonetheless, I think he's just performing here in the way he does.
@@usualdosage7287 whoops.. if the "rest of the comments" say that the man is having an epileptic seizure whilst vocalising live on on stage then it must be true.. silly me.
I think it might be somewhat connected to his epilepsy. If we can believe their accounts, some people who work in caring for disabled people have said that they've seen people with epilepsy dance just like Ian. It might be possible that something about epilepsy causes their brain to associate that movement with dancing. Of course that's all if we take those people's statements seriously and since this is the internet, I don't know how much we can do that.
I swear this song will never get old
Think you will already find it is rather so
Its the 'postpunk' anthem of all time for me.
This particulary version is superbe. I always park here when I want to hear this song.
My Grandad used to play this song in the car when I was a bairn, when I was young I hated this music but I must admit it is one of the best bands iv heard.
Essa não é a primeira vez que estou aqui, e não será a última
Stephen Morris absolute machine !!!
Their sound was so unique at the time. Nobody played their instruments like that, and nobody sounded like Ian. We truly didn’t know what to make of it. It wasn’t punk or new wave. It was a kind of proto-industrial mélange of noise and agony, but kids danced to it in the hole-in-the-wall college clubs of the early-80’s. JD still inspires...
And inspired dozens of other bands.
Ian singing technique is inspired by david bowie, with punk-styled music
Brian eno?
The Fall: Hold my beer
noise and agony- three words that some up joy division
Who's here to remember Ian Curtis. 40 years later. As relevant as ever.
Absolutley-here❕Im still with,special melodies and texts!
They bought me,long a go! 🍻❗️😎
Overrated
this performance gives me chills every time
Amazing song
Yes ....i love Joy Division....Love you Ian!!!!!!!
The drummer for Joy Division……….. absolutely fascinates me!!! I don’t know how he keeps the whole dang tempo up the whole time. Like….HOW?❤
He’a working at it for sure
One of THE best performances of ALL TIME!
it's like you can see the pain in his eyes.
rest in peace, Ian Curtis.
Lily Anna drugs
Lily Anna
Arya Sarke drugs are the symptom only
you absolutely can. it's dreadfully sad
What a legend!
Hard to believe this was recorded in 1979 there was nothing close to the sound of joy division in the 1970s
A completely unique band with a unique sound that still 41 years later nothing sounds like them so unique
Well... There were a few early 2000s bands that completely took their sound. Looking at you Interpol
true this was way better,only the clash or pil ltd were close
@@lukejones6293 interpol made their own sound but joy division was definitely a huge influence
I know!
Section 25 were as ground breaking at that time, but Tony put his efforts into promoting JD, because of Ian's stage presence
Ian was absolutely possessed by the music, the look in his eyes and his body movements. He was a 22 year old man with the soul of an ancient shaman. The only other singer to have that spirit was Jim Morrison. Keyboard player for the Doors Ray Manzarek saw Jim become an Indian shaman on stage during some performances.
Bernard's guitar absolutely slays in this and in so many other JD songs, like Shadowplay!
I watched this when it was first broadcast and couldn't believe it. Everyone was talking about it the next day at school. We all formed bands.
You formed Mumford & Sons?

The original SADBOI ☹️
In my early teens growing up in Manchester I never gave a hoot about Joy Divsion or any post-punk bands springing up around me at the time. Now in middle age I appreciate everything about them. The unique and clever atmospheric songs and sounds they conjured up often mirrors the darkness, confusion and struggles I had then and still have from time to time. 45 years later and the more I hear Joy Division the more they sound like the backing track to my young muddled up life that I never knew was there all along.
Your message truly resonated with me. Also a young teen in 70s Manchester, only recently recognising the genius that was JD.
I liked joy division when I was younger because of my brother but was never a huge fan, but when I revisited them in adulthood something clicked and they’ve since become one of my favorite artist. I’m from the states but it still hits over here
That drumming is insane
The 41st anniversary since we lost Ian Curtis and we still listen to his music
Rest In Peace Man
😔💞💐🙏 So glad I was alive in that time too know their music
The best!
And Chris Cornell in 2017 -same day as Ian. 😔
And 42 went by now, 2022.
And he was so young… only 23. I wish he could’ve lived longer than that
I’m a guitarist, but every time I listen to Joy Division, I just want to play all the bass
Joy Division bass is the best
And the drums, and the vocals, and the guitar as well as the mixing, the cover, the lyrics. One the very few bands where everything you can think about is perfect
word
I’m sure that’s also how Barney felt.
I recently made the jump. No regrets
Morris is amazing. The drumming is on point, a beat not missed.
Ничего в последнее время лучшего не слышал. Студийная запись не так зашла как эта. Я в восторге. Кëртис - лучший, без сомнения! 🎉
I adore this performance. The way the instruments are layered with the prominent repetitive bass, the fast drumming, the phrases from the guitar responding to Ian as he sings, and of course Ian’s distinct dark voice. It goes from being a very controlled form of intensity to manic wild intensity so seamlessly and steadily. When Ian is screaming he looks like he’s about to collapse you can tell he’s giving all of himself to the music. I can’t gush about it enough, the whole thing is just genius and one of the greatest single performances ever.
The best comment
Yep.
Rock is an odd form of expression.
Often the least complicated pieces are the most emotionally effective.
I love it...it's so 100%. Other rock stars can't do this...the sincerity..and the level of expressed sarcasm in the melancholy. Kills me. Pure genius.
@Hunter Vonnegut no
I think he was having an epileptic attack. He used to control and hide it to continue with the tours.
Only Ian Curtis can sing: "Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio" in a way that sounds like the coming of the apocalypse!
Like it's the only thing you can do just before the nuclear bombs hit.
@@fallinginthed33p Exactly!
So well said! ☮️

That is not a drummer , that 's a human machine made drummer , amazing !
I don’t think Ian gets enough credit for how great of a singer, songwriter, and frontman he was. And Bernard Sumner is a good guitarist. Who else agrees?
Perfection on the edge. That drumming intensity.
Ian Curtis isn't trying to dance. Dance is trying to Ian Curtis.
fucking brilliant Mark.
He looks so dead inside...
🙏🔁™
Fuck me, that is the best comment ever on CZcams. In fact no that's the best comment ever anywhere.
Ian killed it on stage
Cant even imagine how much pain the drummer is probably in, working his arse off the whole tune
***** Correct Sir. He is doing sustained 16th note Hard Graft on the Hi-Hat. My forearms are burning just looking at him. TOP BOY.
***** He's incredible
***** All hail Stephen Morris! (Ranked #5 on the 50 greatest rock drummers of all time by Stylus Magazine.)
Michael Nonyabizniss wow that is great
joy division rules
Michael Nonyabizniss Within a few short years all four of them turned from amateurs to such original, great musicians they became the third greatest group of the century.
This is my favorite recording of this song because of Ian's delivery of the 3rd verse at 2:22. I think it really encapsulate the feeling you have when dealing with depression: The lyrics about no longer being enough with the delivery of the ugly cry scream at the end of the verse where he willingly lose control of his voice and just wants to scream.
It really demonstrate the feeling of anger mixed with sadness, willingness to lose control and just giving in wishing for the pain to end.
All those expressed feelings complements well into a song about being no longer in control of yourself and the media controlling your every toughts and movements.
Joy Division are - for me - by far the best live act ever. The chaos, the beauty, the desperation. My favourite album is Still. Most of my favourite versions of their songs are live versions.
Everyone is impressive here. But the drummer... Good lord. What a song
that drummer is just incredible! love him
+hardhatpicasso yeah just another comment about the drummer - I think he's really the one holding it all together and giving joy division their punch. He's the backbone. Such absolutely fine drumming
+hardhatpicasso If you can, imagine that exact same drumbeat on She's Lost Control, and think of how different that song would be.
+hardhatpicasso i'd say the bassist too (Peter Hook)
STEPHEN MORRIS

2020... Ian's music will never die.
It's more relevant than ever
☝🏼
@@nicole71047 I mean out it on quaretein isolation and tell me I'm wrong...
It's not Iain's music, it's Joy Division's music
100 % pure energy by all band members ! Original roots of underground and punk Thanks for your contribution !
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
Early 80s. Joy Division was a HUGE part of college. I lived in the fraternity house and a brother had their albums. We'd listen to them (and other cool alt bands) almost daily.
That drummer is working hard,christ must take some energy to keep that pace up.
Give a thunderous round of applause to our good friend cocaine
Though I DO remember a very interesting anecdote in Hooky's autobiography about how someone once offered Stephen a tab of acid and he swallowed it instantly, not realizing it was actually SIX individual tabs in one... he was tripping balls for days!
But, yes, I've definitely heard the same thing about him being a very nervous person. "Shaky Stephen", they used to call him, according again to Hooky.
He's a fantastic drummer. His timing is incredible, almost drum-machine like. Utterly perfect for the Joy Division sound.
Jimmy Chamberlin is similar
Unlike most bands, they keep their page here open for comments to share. Thank you Joy Division for keeping the discussion on your seminal work open.
Ian Curtis: We will need a drum machine for this song.
Stephen Morris: Hold my beer.

@@neilsarath9812 I know I wish I had a time machine to go back and save him God Bless him! ✝️💞😘🎚🎸🇬🇧🤪💕🤘🎸✝️💞🙏🏻💟
@@vivaldi1ett Well, you can't undo epilepsy, and Bernard Sumner believes it was that cocktail of drugs the doctors put Ian on that made him unable to cope with events in his life. Best you could do is thwart his marriage before it happened, or stop him from meeting Annik...or stop Joy Division from happening. :(
@@FireMinstrel I’m also in agreement that he was let down and overly drugged by his doctors who all let him down badly they were supposed to be the ones looking after him but obviously failed him badly I know we know more about mental health now but that’s no excuse when clearly he was struggling to cope Bless him
So much talent. They all are so in sync, just flawless. Love this song. This song was used in an old surf video from Billabong called Pump and it just flows insanely good. Epic band.
The version used in Pump was a cover
This is the only and one TRUE version of Transmission, unique official video that was recorded live as is, raw and as you can see it.
Beautiful! When he goes off at 2:26, so incredible. R.I.P. Ian..
Hello how are you doing it’s really nice meeting you here.
You know why I love Joy Division? He put his whole crazy ass heart into that performance. It's really hard to find artists who are this passionate these days.
demonthief115 Music is that powerful all by itself. If you need drugs to feel lost in beautiful music, I think that's a sign of deep depression.
*****
If anyone watched the film about him, then you'd realise that he had really bad epilepsy, so he was probably staving off a fit right there as he was dancing, as the crazy flailing dancing kept him conscious.
demonthief115
He did take drugs, during his work at the group home especially. The drugs weren't the reason for the dancing though, that's just his way of expressing himself.
James Wilkes Just a note…."fit" is not the way epileptics wish for their condition to be termed. The word is seizure. And, I'm doubting he was warding off any seizure in this case.
Chris Richards Are you on drugs, or were you on drugs when you wrote those comments? You were making no sense whatsoever.
My wife teaches kids with ADHD and other issues, I'm diagnosed with CPTSD, watching this footage of Ian he CLEARLY had issues but was in an era where it was ignored, bless him..the band must of gone through so much when he passed...one of the best they were!!! 2023 STILL jammin it!!x
I know a few people (musicians) that saw JD at their peak , they said they were mesmerised by Ian curtis and the music and felt weird for 4-5 days after they were so powerful!!
Probably one off the best drumming performances in rock history

I wish there were more footage of them to see. The movie "Control" did a pretty decent job depicting them live. I hear the same ppl who produced that movie are doing a Morrissey biopic movie called "Steven" or something like that. Should be pretty good if it's anything like Control.
when will the moz on be out

nice thanks for the headsup ill keep an eye out for that. my friend cassie did the graphic design for control's promotion, we went to the premier in warwick arts centre it was good.

Well a morissey movie was released and it is not good
RIP Ian Curtis 🖤🖤🖤
not a song but a therapy
I have never seen so much pain in a mans eyes.
He was such an icon👐
You never saw me at work.
Well, he is probably knackered after all that drumming.....
It's haunting isn't it?
angel serna I think it’s insensitive to call his pain iconic. This is sad to see, it shouldn’t be celebrated.
The frenetic sounds of Joy Division are soothing and maddening at the same time. Like slipping slowly into insanity but being 100% at peace with it. I swear my chest is still pounding 5 min after hearing this on full volume.
I like your description.
Healing and insight via total immersion into the darkness. JD in a nutshelll for me since 1987 when I found their music.
🤓
Why’s it maddening? Angry much?
@@Bambino_60 I don't think you understood the comment. Has nothing to do with me personally and everything to do with the sound of the song.
Important show by an important band. RIP Ian.
Heard this song countless times, still can’t get past the skill of the drumming. Kick ass.
In an alternate reality, they sang this at live aid, to a global audience that appreciated their undeniable individuality, and made Ian happy.

Those lyrics are really, really interesting and great
Eyes, dark, relentless from the sun
The drums make this track and the blur from Stephens sticks is incredible, if not miraculous! A name not mentioned enough when discussing greatest drummers.
Drummer is a fucking legend especially those fills
Hard to believe this amazing music is forty years old. Like a lot of the great punk and post-punk era stuff it doesn't sound old and gets tons of teenaged and even younger than teen fans as the years go by.
It certainly has aged better than most it trancends time
New wave is one of my favorite genres but even I thought it was dead
I assume you are from the USA. We never used the term "post punk" at the time . "New wave" followed punk in the UK eg Buzzcocks and Warsaw were punk. Magazine and Joy Division were "new wave" (of rock music)
Absolutely Yesss!!
Their music is unbelievably modern
As if It was created in these recent years
I really believed Joy Division was a band from early 2000 until I looked to Wikipedia, this guys saw the future.
Few comments on here about the drummer Stephen Morris. I just want to say that without Stephen in that moment in time Joy Division would never have happened, and as I've played drums for 20 years I know that what he did with them was perfect for the other members of the band and the sound as a whole. For me he wasn't a guy in the background making noise, he really complimented the songs and laid down iconic drum tracks. I wish I could have done that!! Born too late!!
Joy Division are a classic example of how a good drummer with less technically skilled guitarist and bassist can result in excellent music. in Peter Hooks's book about New Order (Substance) he relates how when they were arranging the music for the Control film; initially it was decided that there would be no drumming, and Hook replied that the drums were the most important part of the Joy Division sound, so of course there had to be drumming.
Imagine if Stephen Brotherdale never left when they were Warsaw, this band would be very different, Stephen Morris is so underrated!
and he does fit everything together so well, what I love about Joy Division is that there's no member drowned out, everyone has a part and they all play their part phenomenally.
I love love love the intro to Atmosphere. Stephen gave the drums an actual voice.
Beat Therapy he was amazing my husbands calls him the human drum machine so true so fast.
not born too late, worshiping the past to much...
Ian looked like he was running for his life, RIP.
The raw emotion of Curtis in the final verses gives me shivers
