Notes:
Two *amazing* audience-sourced shows made even better. You want, no, you
NEED to grab these if you pulled either the M2s last year as seeded by
waterisnat, or the other Moonlight package (of lesser quality) also seeded
by waterisnat earlier this year. Both have been pitch-corrected, both have
been re-EQ'ed to shine. It is my opinion that these sets are the finest
audience tapes of Joy Division to have been unearthed to date - the only
way they could be better is if a master, master clone or M1 surfaces. I
believe the sound of these tapes easily outshines any of the Duncan shows
(the more common taper for gigs such as the Lyceum, Bournemouth, etc).
Highlights include the "bar band" version of LWTUA on the 2nd (Ian: "You can
tell we've not rehearsed for a while", with Bernard chipping in "First time
we've played that all on guitars!" and Ian laughing afterwards), the amazing
"greatest hits" set in its entirety on the 3rd (a rare outing for Glass, a
smashing Disorder, a haunting Atrocity Exhibition, ...), the blistering
Transmission on the 2nd...
Enjoy!
