a) 'Much too young'! b) 4 times in total: Reading 89, 93, 98 and Finsbury 02
a) the very first time I saw Joy Division in concert was in my living room after I picked up the FACT 37
b) first New Order show was April 21, 1989 in Houston, TX. Second show was the next night, back here in Dallas...
and answering those other ones that were added in...I saw Revenge the one and only time they played in Dallas, and never saw the other two...(god, I am sooooo witty!!!)
a) never saw Joy Division
b) Middlesbrough Rock Garden November 1981.
I was only 14 then and still heavily into ska, Oi!, punk and psychobilly an' stuff like that.... but tagged along with a few older mates who WERE Joy Division fans. Eventually I was converted.

Never even came close to seeing JD live, so whenever the Factory/Ikon video Here Are The Young Men came out was my first viewing of them.
NO? 85 Low-life tour in Oakland, with the Abecedarians.

Who the hell are them ABECEDARIANS,are they from this PLANET?
:D
Sure enough... Fac 117 (they were an American band, but don't remember where from, California probably).
Originally posted by Green think they had a single on Factory, that's what I was told anyway.
Hell you are indeed correct FAC117 SMILING MONARCHS 12 INCH
Yes i see your picture now...had just gone to check this! Cheers
a) Never saw 'em in the flesh...I was deemed "too young" to go with my brother to The Moonlight in 1980.
b) This one at Portsmouth Guildhall:
The reason the ticket is still whole, and not just a stub, is that when I arrived a bloke wearing a laminated pass whisked me off down to the dressing room because "Barney wants to borrow a New Order shirt to wear tonight". Alas, being only a skinny 15 year old, the Factus8 one I was wearing wasn't going to fit, so I was dispatched back into the venue. He eventually came on stage in a Psychic TV one.

I though Rocket Mick was a good dancer :D As BARNEY says at READING during BLUE MONDAY......... "HEY WHAT'S GOING ON HERE THEN" :D
i saw JD division when i was -6 years old...looking down from the clouds. great show, but they looked really tiny:(
Of course I've never seen Joy Division (gee, I was 6 when Ian commited suicide!), and I've only seen the Order in 1993 in Toronto...
A.) First saw JD on a friend's computer, he downloaded the "Something Else" performance of SLC
B.) Countless times I've seen their videos, but Taras Shevchenko was the first live concert I saw of theirs.
a/ University Of London Student Union, Feb 1980. My cousin took me - I was 13, but 6 foot tall, so I lied about my age and said I'd lost my S.U. card. My cousin had his from Liverpool, so we blagged it. 
b/ Tolworth Recreation Centre - Kingston Polytechnic S.U. ball. Said I was Barney's little brother, paid my pound and walked in. Don't know if they believed me...
