It's okay that New order plays Joy Division songs, technically it's THEIR songs. Way I see it, when they play JD songs it's a tribute and keeping Ian's memory going. It's like when Weird Al plays Smells like Nirvana live he channels Kurt Kobain with his energy and it's like a tribute.
It's so fascinating to see Joy Division's songs through the lens of New Order, precisely because they're (mostly) the same people, but a completely different band.

For some reason Bernard Sumner reminds me Marty Mcfly.

Peter Hook is one of the most underrated bass players of all time IMO
It gave me goosebumps when Sumner and Hook started singing "dance dance dance dance to the radio" it's like if I saw Ian singing with them 😳😳
I often wonder what they think when they play Joy Division songs without Ian Curtis. It must bring up mixed memories.
If only Ian Curtis was still here he would have blown the place apart. Awesome effort though, just needed Ian's moves and vibe.

Morris is a machine !
"Except for Ian Curtis who committed suicide." GREAT lol
His voice is too high for this song, but this is very good anyways.
Peter Hook plays the bass so beautifully.
I have the vinyl of Closer signed by Peter Hook 🪝 of Joy Division/New Order. A true gentleman. He also sent me a New Order shirt 👕!
I've long thought that Bernard Sumner is a totally underrated guitarist.
That scream at
I was there in that raining evening with my mates from the German Order. What a great show!
Actually nobody know better this song than New Order!!
Wow, twenty-some odd years later and Morris is still tearing it up...!
The pure energy in this performance is fcking brilliant!!
How Steve Morris never get tired of that 16th hi-hat, i will never know 😎
Later till this day Stephen is still the fastest drummer.
