Soundboard @flac


This was the first of the 4 night alternative rock festival at the Prince of Wales Conference Centre in London, besides Joy Division also Teardrop Explodes and Echo And The Bunnymen played.

"If I had a flair for understatement, I could say that Joy Division were good too. The truth is they were phenomenal - the most physical hard rock group I've seen since Gang Of Four. This Manchester band have been allowed to grow at their own pace, uncramped by commercial pressures. The result is that they've created a totally distinctive, cohesive sound over the last two years...They have the spirit and the feeling." - Adrian Thrills, NME review 11th August 1979.

Appx. duration: 40 mins. Sound quality: 8+/9

        Joy Division appeared on the opening day of John Keenan's "The World's First Science Fiction Music Festival" (better known as "Futurama" or in 1979 "Futurama '79").
Kevin Cummins sent us this badge scan saying " I assume they were for sale but the promoter - John Keenan - gave it to me to enable me to pin my press pass on my jacket..."  They played 13th among 17 bands, including Cabaret Voltaire, Orchestral Manouvres in the Dark, Public Image Limited and A Certain Ratio.

"Unquestionably, the real stars of the night were Joy Division." Andy Gill (NME) "They came on late in the evening and used no complex light shows, just some white lights placed low on the floor right at the back of the stage itself. They used a lot of dry ice and came out of the ice with the lights casting their shadows from behind them in a Gothic manor, it was like one of those old Universal Gothic movies. A cheer went up from the crowd. 'Unknown Pleasures' had been a huge underground hit. Even those who had not heard the album were in anticipation. Ian Curtis did his 'dead fly' dance. I cannot remember much else because I enjoyed myself too much to take notes, and besides the bar was open all night and I had had a lot to drink.

John Lydon's 'Public Image' were top of the bill. They arsed about, made a cup of tea onstage and then Lydon turned his back on us and I seem to remember hid behind an amp".  - Graham J. - gig goer
