esce la prima raccolta dal vivo con registrazioni inedite – Il video di “Transmission” (live) e la tracklist completa

I Joy Division celebrano il cinquantesimo anniversario della nascita della band e il loro ingresso nella Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame con “Eternal (Live)”, la prima raccolta ufficiale dedicata ai concerti del gruppo. Il cofanetto, disponibile in formato da 14 cd e 2 Dvd, documenta sedici esibizioni registrate tra il 1979 e il 1980, offrendo il ritratto più completo mai pubblicato della breve ma decisiva attività dal vivo della formazione guidata da Ian Curtis.
Tra le principali novità figurano due concerti finora inediti, registrati all’Hope And Anchor e all’Acklam Hall di Londra, oltre a tre registrazioni mai pubblicate provenienti dal Factory di Manchester, dal Lyceum e dal Moonlight Club di Londra. Il box include anche l’ultimo concerto dei Joy Division, quello del 2 maggio 1980 all’High Hall di Birmingham, celebre perché contiene l’unica esecuzione dal vivo di “Ceremony”, brano che sarebbe poi diventato il primo singolo dei New Order dopo la morte di Curtis.

Oltre al materiale audio, “Eternal (Live)” comprende due Dvd con oltre due ore e mezza di filmati. Tra i contenuti spicca la pubblicazione integrale del concerto al Plan K di Bruxelles, mai mostrato prima nella sua interezza, insieme a due esibizioni complete e a un soundcheck registrati all’Apollo Theatre di Manchester nell’ottobre del 1979, materiale di cui solo alcuni estratti erano apparsi in VHS nel 1982. Completa il pacchetto una nuova versione restaurata di “Joy Division – A Malcolm Whitehead Film”.
Per accompagnare l’annuncio, la band ha reso disponibile anche una nuova registrazione dal vivo di “Transmission”, tratta dallo storico concerto di Les Bains Douches a Parigi.

Ecco la tracklist integrale dell’opera, come riportata dalla webzine Stereogum.
