| J-Card Comment | Info File: Joy Division 28 Sept 1979 The Factory, Hulme (soundboard) This is the legendary gig where Hooky thumped an audience member with his bass and stormed off the stage - unfortunately, this moment is not captured on this recording. This gig features the original set of lyrics Ian Curtis wrote for "Colony" and as a whole, is stellar sounding. Note that for whatever reason the mixing itself changes from wide stereo to mostly mono (but with effects spread across the stereo soundstage) about halfway through the tape, perhaps the mixing desk guy was having problems with the mix? Who knows but it isn't really noticeable except in headphones, and even then doesn't detract from the gig whatsoever. Presented warts and all (several slight dropouts here and there, likely due to tape age and/or poor quality tape used in 1979 in the mixing desk), enjoy! 01 - Twenty Four Hours (detail, soundcheck) 02 - Atmosphere (fades in) 03 - Wilderness 04 - Shadowplay 05 - Insight 06 - Colony 07 - Twenty Four Hours (fades out, incomplete) Please note that track 1, the soundcheck track, is not a mixing desk recording, but the gig itself is. Don't let Track 1 fool you.... "Colony", lyrics from here (as best I can make out): Afraid to walk, afraid to look behind Afraid to talk, afraid I'll fall in line Hope to find some friends to maybe lead astray Maybe make some plans to achieve the one with day (?) Can you hear me, can you spare the time? No apologies for all these thoughts were mine My brother taught I had to take the blame Now I'm sitting here to make my great escape I can't see why all these complications I can't see why all these dislocations No family life just makes me feel uneasy Lying here inside this colony In this colony In this colony In this colony In this colony May god and his wisdom take you by the hand God and his wisdom made you understand May god and his wisdom take you by the hand God and his wisdom made you understand God and his wisdom took you by the hand Your god and his wisdom made you understand Your god and his wisdom took you by the hand Your god and his wisdom made you understand In this colony In this colony In this colony In this colony |
