Joy Division – Dance To The Radio- Ajanta Theatre, Derby

Unofficial Release

Massive as Joy Division were becoming, they still played Shit-Holes like this former, partially demolished, cinema in Derby. The old seats were still in place, except for a few that were torn off of their perches to allow dancing, if required. Again, another cavernous sounding audience recording, and again they are treated to a joint band version of “Girls Don’t Count” for the rarity value. Due to cancellations, probably due to Ian’s failing health, this would turn out to be the penultimate Joy Division performance, before the loss of Ian Curtis.
