MEMORIES |
|
The intensity, the
passion of this music completely eclipsed anything the audience
had seen in a long, long time. Most people left the gig in a state
of exhaustion, unable to explain just why this tiny local band had
affected them so deeply. In fact, Joy Division were as surprised
as everyone else by their apparent power. All they had done [since
their last Factory appearance, on Friday 9 June 1978] was to solidly
rehearse and tighten a few musical knots. They had brought their
drumming to the forefront. They had found the style which would
soon prove to be a major influence on Britain's music scene |
