    Ha! never ever expected to hear this again. I roadied at this gig for Section 25 and watched Joy Division from the lighting gantry above the stage. Like all the gigs of this time: look back and think 'why didn't I take a camera'! Brilliant gig, sadly one of the last...

      You might be able to answer this.........which band member i playing keyboards at the end of She's Lost Control?
      The guitar and bass are continuous into the extra section (as per the 12" version) - so is Ian playing the keyboard part?

    Most of their concerts started with Dead Souls, it gave Ian a few minutes to access the crowd and get himself together...I think this concert sounded brilliant.

      +joydivisiongirl Well The gigs I saw were Leeds Futurama, Nashville Sept 79, Bournemouth & first night at the Rainbow with the Buzzcocks, Electric Ballroom Oct 79, London University, High Wycombe, and London Lyceum
      I was responsible for recording 6 of those gigs and two soundchecks.
      Always loved them live, much more so than on record, Ian Curtis was mesmerising to watch. The band were so powerful. Still to this day the best gigs I've seen

    i was also at this gig, at the tender age of 17. a friend made a bootleg tape but made so many copies, that by the time i got one the sound was dreadful. joy division were awesome that night as you can hear. their last but one gig if i remember well. the ajanta was indeed a dive, but i saw some great gigs there around this time - "the only ones", "the cramps", "the slits", "magazine", "prince far i". happy memories.

      culeram question for you.. did you consider JD a goth band in 1980? This is rhetorical.. I kinda know the answer (to the untrained eye, maybe a trick question) but it would be nice to hear from a fan who was there back then.

    • @birdandthe

      @@pkbarbiedoll5324 sorry to take so long to answer your question. Only saw it today because I was wondering when the 40th anniversary of the gig was coming up and I missed it by 10 days! As "birdandthe" answered 4 years ago nobody ever considered Joy Division a Goth band. First time I heard that term used was referring to Bauhaus I think. Although it was along time ago so who knows. Then along came all your Sisters of Mercy, Sex Gang Children and their ilk which I was never into
