manchester apollo 1979. october ,, just after tea
awesome.
knocked me back in me seat,,
ive been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand.
very powerfull performance ,,though i can never remeber whether it was the sat or sunday performance i saw,, allegdly there was booing at the sat one so they lengthed the set for sunday.
dont remember booing so must have been sunday.
transmission floored me..
they were very polite .bass king and ian said thank you ,, good night as they went off.
yup stuck in my mind for good,
wished id gone to more shows though places like the russell club were er well dodgy i f you catch my drift.
this is the crisis i knew had to come.
Late 1979 in Liverpool. 'I Remember Nothing'. Was sick in the gutter after the show. Got a right b**locking afterwards for going... so did my cousin for taking me. I was just 13, but 6 feet tall and with my cousin, so, what can you do? No one really asked for ID in those days 
if a time machine is ever properly invented and works 'properly' ,i am going to go back to that time and see a few of those jd concerts, if not all. but then,i think-how in physical form would i be able to pull that off if i am not supposed to be there and someone notices it somehow.unless..i co-exist in someone else's body...hmm...anyway...you get the picture/idea...

Think i may have this somewhere Mike,
leave it with me 
In chrono order I think :
Factory Club Oct 78,
1979 : Factory Club again,Sheffield Limit Club, Leeds Roots Club, Leeds Futurama, Factory Club again!, Leeds Uni, Sheffield Top Rank, Leicester, Eric's Liverpool
1980 : Preston, Lyceum, Derby Ajanta
That's 13. I think I saw them 14 times, so I might be missing another Factory club date.
Sorry for the thread bump...
To all of those who have seen Joy Division live, you should feel very privileged today:) to be honest, I envy you. Seeing Ian in the flesh. I know this guy was a perfect human being like you and me but come on! he was Ian Curtis, one of the greatest and most talented artists in the whole world!:)

I always annoy you in the pub when I've had a few, so whilst I'm sober......what can you remember from the gigs mate?
I remember a few bits and pieces that you mentioned, but my memory is gash, especially after a few shandies ;)
