Is this the Bowdon Vale Youth Club?..I know it says a pub in Altrincham but judging by the flock wallpaper it would appear to be footage from the youth club gig.

They did, it cost a quid, the next year at another venue I think it cost 1.70 to get in.

This is awesome!!! The only thing I can ever score is some homemade vids with STILL tracks attached. Ahh...Just like Preston, with all the intensity included! Thanks again

This is really an amazing piece of footage ....this a prime example of the intensity Joy Division had on stage.

It's amazing how different their records are from their live performances. It's cool how they were so flexible with their producer, but also that their fans were so welcoming to the difference between their live stuff and their records. Can you imagine seeing these guys play at your corner pub? Wow.
