These Days Live In Paris by Joy Division captures the raw energy and emotion of the band's final tour before the tragic death of lead singer Ian Curtis. The album features live recordings from the band's performance at the legendary Les Bains Douches in Paris in 1979, showcasing the intensity and power of their music.
The album begins with the haunting opening chords of "Dead Souls," setting the tone for a dark and brooding set. Curtis's haunting vocals on "Shadowplay" and "Transmission" are both mesmerizing and chilling, while the driving basslines of Peter Hook on "She's Lost Control" and "Isolation" provide a sense of urgency and momentum.
The live recording format adds an extra layer of intensity to the already powerful music of Joy Division. The audience can be heard cheering and singing along, adding to the atmosphere of the performance. The sound quality is excellent, capturing the rawness of the band's sound without sacrificing clarity.
In 1980 it was pol-pot khomeini deadly socialism/is-lamism
Superb song from a superb band !
"Can you stay for these days?"
Searched hard for you and your special ways.
These days, these days.
Spent all my time, learnt a killer's art.
Took threats and abuse 'till I'd learned the part.
Can you stay for these days?
These days, these days.
Used outward deception to get away,
Broken heart romance to make it pay.
These days, these days.
We'll drift through it all, it's the modern age.
Take care of it all now these debts are paid.
Can you stay for these days?
