Movie
New Order's first concert in the United States. Recorded at the Hurrah nightclub in New York City on September 26, 1981. It took place just four months after former Joy Division vocalist Ian Curtis took his own life, an event that forced the remaining members to change the group's name to "New Order." This performance captures the band's early days under this new identity, without Gillian Gilbert (keyboards/guitar) and prior to the release of their debut album, "Movement".
