  4. Anon. I saw that version when I was searching for this vid. I considered posting it instead, but feared I would incur the wrath of the gloomy legions ;)

  5. This is not from John Peel Show. This is from "Something Else" a BBC2 show hosted by Tony Wilson. This was broadcast in September / October 1979. I remember watching it when it was first shown. Great to see it again. On the original broadcast Tony Wilson interviewed Joy Division. The other band on that week was The Jam. Mr Tony Wilson (the genius that he was) managed to get Weller and Co to perform "Eton Rifles" in front of a BIG "Unknown Pleasures" backdrop. Great!
