the switch in time that saved nine



Well, no, this isn't about the supreme court or court-packing.

it's fascinating to watch this clip and think that at this point ian curtis had died less than a year before, this was new order's first US tour & first time in NYC, they would make Power, Corruption & Lies (and Blue Monday) about a year after this. How rarely you get to see things in transition such as this. Such awkwardness as well. Possibly the worst charisma to success ratio ever.

Isn't that also Ian Curtis' guitar that he's using? Is that a Danelectro?
