2nd August 1979: YMCA, Prince Of Wales Conference Centre, Tottenham Court Road London There are two recordings of this concert - one soundboard and one audience recording. 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.     Songs performed: 01. Dead Souls 02. Disorder 03. Wilderness 04. Auto-Suggestion 05. Transmission 06. Day Of The Lords 07. She's Lost Control 08. Shadowplay 09. Atrocity Exhibition 10. Insight. Appx. duration: 40 mins. Sound quality: 8+/9 (soundboard) 8- (audience) On the audience recording the start of "Dead Souls" is missing, as well as "Insight" (last track) as that's presumably the flip point on the original cassette master.
