It's pretty much shot-for-shot, and I dont't see much difference from the robotic performance of the original. Joy Division weren't known for very exciting performances.

" Unless you count the eternal question at a JD concert: Is Ian Curtis just dancing weird, or is he having an epileptic seizure? I'm not kidding. It happened on at least one occasion, maybe more. (He also did get more animated than in this early performance, but he always had a rather herky jerky style of dancing, even before his diagnosis.) I'd also have to go check the original to see if Peter Hook was playing a six string bass yet. I think this is a bit early for that. “Joy Division weren’t known for very exciting performances. ”
