Joy Division - The legendary "Band On The Wall" tape

Joy Division
"The Band On The Wall" tape
September 1978 - June 1979

Warning: the recording quality of this show is considered to be fairly atrocious, but it was actually an outstanding performance from the band, which still somehow shines through the murk and mire.

Being able to precisely identify the date (and venue) of this particular performance is one of the holy grails of Joy Division live aficionados.
As such, neither this or any of my videos here are monetized, and this is being upped for research / educational purposes.

I did some additional phase correction and hiss reduction as well as edited out the tiny gaps between each track caused by the MP3 sourcing.

For discussion relating to sourcing or anything else of interest, I direct all of you to the Joy Division Central thread about this recording:

That this starts with the very ending chord of "Glass" to me suggests either the 26 October 1978 date, as that was around the time both that track and A-side "Digital" had been recorded for A Factory Sample or even the 26 January 1979 Factory (Russell Club), Manchester gig, which was the record release show.
