16th February 1979: Eric's, Liverpool
It is by no means certain this concert took place
Planned set list:
Exercise One
Lost Control
Shadowplay
Leaders of Men
Insight
New one
Glass
Digital
Ice Age
Warsaw
Transmission
Synth One
The planned set list is taken from one of Rob Gretton's
notebook pages as displayed at the 2010 "Life / works of Ian Curtis and Joy
Division" Exhibition in Macclesfield. For more info

Whether they stuck to this set list on the night, or indeed
whether the concert took place at all is uncertain. There is
remarkably little evidence to suggest it happened and the
set list is pretty much identical to 14 March 1979 gig at the Bowden
Vale Youth Club. However, in his autobiography "Bunnyman",
Will Sergeant mentions two Joy Division gigs he attended at
Eric’s, on the 16th February and 11th August, 1979, and he
states "In February 1979, Joy Division are back; this time
everyone is watching".
New One was probably Disorder
Synth One would have been I Remember Nothing
