Anybody have a recording of this show? It was the first time I saw them. I know there's a CD recording of it entitled Uptown.

I used to have a cassette of a Milwaukee show from 1984 (probably this one?) which was great, but it’s sadly gone missing.

This really takes me back to the days of collecting live tapes and record fairs at the Bluecoat. Sadly, I haven't got them anymore but what would be everyone's top 3 bootlegs?

I'd go for - Eric's September '79, Stratford upon Avon '83 (can't remember if it was the matinee or evening show I had) and Crystal Day '84

Loved those record fairs at Bluecoat Chambers - I remember seeing a Joy Division bootleg picture disc for sale there which has apparently now achieved near mythical status as no-one seems to have one. My three would be:

A Crystal Day 1984
The Kåren Club 1985
Manchester International 1985.

It was a secret gig they did in a Liverpool pub in November ‘85. I used to have a cassette of it but it’s long gone. Just this week a mate of mine who was there with me has managed to send me a few tracks but we’re looking for the whole thing.

Thanks for those uploads - they’re great. Feel free to post up any more you might have!

I have a video of Manchester International 1985 ,filmed right next to the stage.
Unfortunately there is a sound problem on it which makes it less watchable than it should be.
It wouldn't work if Mac was a slaphead would it.
