@@therealscarylarry that's awesome, I saw Depeche Mode when I was like 15 around 1997 during the Ultra tour, it would have been amazing to hear them play this but it's so awesome that they are still touring all these years later
Respect to Depeche Mode and Dave Gahan. They covered this song beautifully. Dave's moody, baritone vocals are perfect for this song. Ian would be proud.
Ian's voice was a one off ,. He was from Macclesfield in Cheshire at the bottom of Buxton , he had a farmer's market east Cheshire voice very cold and haunting it's a one off voice no one can match it , it's only Depeche mode fans saying it's good , the synths sound good though , if you don't believe me go and listen to the original , don't get me wrong enjoy the silence is in my top 15 of all time , and I love my music
How have I never heard this before?! I love Depeche Mode and Joy Division and this song is one of my forever favourites. What a fantastic cover version by Dave Gahan! :-)
ive tried to explain to a younger friend of mine about what this cover means wit regards to the suicide of ian curtis and how thats influenced my eternal love for new order. its just not in his realm of understanding
I remember Dave doing this cover when I saw his solo concert. The first and only time I started crying at a concert. It still brings me to tears to hear it again.
I can't stop watching this video !!! Dave on stage again ... and ... performing such a wonderful song !!!! ...Love .. Love will tear us apart !!!! ... But, couldn't live without it
Omg just close ur eyes for a second. It's Ian singing. Holy shit I hate covers. So glad I checked this post out. I love it!! Made me smile. Feel like I'm 15 again.
There have been so many covers of this track over the years, but Dave Gahan picking it up just seems right. Dont know why, just feels "correct" if you know what i mean.
I've heard many cover versions of Love Will Tear Us Apart, and I always feel it's a song best left avoided, as nobody will come close to the original. However well a band can reproduce the music, to reproduce the depth and emotion of Ian's vocal performance seems nigh on impossible. So I have to give enormous kudos to Dave Gahan, he came closer to nailing it than anyone else I've heard. He even threw in a bit of the Ian Curtis arm movements. Definitely the best cover version that I've heard.
I actually shed-a-tear watching this, not only because it was so well-done, but because it reminded me so much of Ian Curtis, aside from the dancing. I really miss Mr. Ian Curtis, as I know so many others do, especially when some of Joy Division's best and most meaningful songs are played.
Holy crap! That was fantastic! Love Will Tear Us Apart is one of my all time favorite songs and it is generally not well covered. I think the fact that Dave Gahan seems to really love this song means he was working extra hard to do it justice. He also has the same kind of tone that Ian had. I love Depeche Mode for doing this.
Awesome job Dave, would love to have seen this live at one of their concerts. That would have been a once in a lifetime opportunity as this is one of my favorite JD songs.
absolutely flawless, probably the best cover of this song ever :') his voice is destined for it and his vocals are on point. i love both bands and he did this complete justice. it would be amazing to have a proper studio version of this
I had been keeping on coming here since my hight school apreciation for JD and greatfulness for the timeless song. It saved my vulnerable youth. Now I'm coming back here cause of a recently started passion for Depeche Mode \ Gahan's solo career.
What a great!! cover of one of the best songs ever made. This is the first time I heard this version. Depeche Mode has made Ian very proud. I love both bands and too have Dave sing this wonderful tune, well............ it's magic. Thank-you for this post.
Been trawling through the various versions of this song on UA-cam, and this has to be the best cover on here. Think the guy at 20 secs that says "no way" just about sums it up... really, really didn't expect his vocal to be so good. Just superb!
DM never fails to amaze me at how bloody brilliant they are live! They are just.....amazing. And the most amazing one: Mr. Gahan. I loved him since I was eleven years old and several years on, that adoration has not diminished one bit. Thanks for sharing!
its great to hear anyone doing a joy division record, i saw joy division when i was a very young lad and they will always be my fav band but i like to hear others have a go
@@miqueasvalentinhernandez3998 Vaya mira por donde que el año pasado a finales de noviembre creo, salió su disco de Covers The Imposter! Quién lo hubiera dicho verdad? Pues ahí lo tenemos, bravo por Dave 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Given that Ian Curtis is dead and Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook hate each other and haven't spoken in years then the chance of a reunion (of the remaining members) is pretty difficult
@@jesusflores2324 both great bands, lucky enough to have seen J.D. at the appolo in manchester 79, they supported the buzzcocks another great manchester band
yeah, it is a cover. even Bernard Sumner says so in a live show of New Order's. he says "nobody can be Joy Division", and New Order added a couple different people to the line-up.
New Order is Joy Division without Ian Curtis...... They only added Gillian Gilbert and changed their name. You don't cover your own songs. They are the same band as far as I'm concerned.
With all due respect, Ian wans't his own band. I think he was brilliant, but he didn't do it all himself. I think the other 3 (you know who they are) deserve respect. New Order went on to become one of the Greatest 80's bands of all time in my Opinion.
You would think after seeing the popularity of my UA-cam video alone, that it would be worth pursuing a studio release, but I highly doubt it will happen. It was a one-off performance. Musicians do it all the time, but I too wish this was studio recorded.

great to see ian is not forgotten
He never will be forgotten
NEVER!!
Aaron Schula Oh, I've heard about you types. Think they're called trolls......
Ian is never forgotten :-)
Never!!!!
David Gahan is the ONLY man allowed to cover Joy Division. I haven’t heard a single cover this incredible. Ian would be proud ❤️❤️❤️
David Gahan can sing anything. He blew U2 away So Cruel
The Cure did a great cover as well. DP and The Cure are the best new wave bands ever. I love them equally.
The cure and fall out boys did a killer cover
The Cure’s cover is pretty great
I disagree, there have been many covers of this song better than this
Probably the best cover I’ve ever seen. He does Ian proper justice here, it’s incredible.
Swans >
@@monkeymonkey222 The Swans' version is the best I've ever heard of this song, by far. This one is really good too, anyway.
Heard or seen, no where near 50 percent
The best cover of this great song is made by The Cure.
100% agree
He has one of the best voices I've heard for this song. Most singers cant handle the low register.
This song suits his voice so well!!
It doesn't
@@karlmeadows4986 does**
This song suits the voices of Peter hook, David Gahan and William Francis, any of them can sing it.
yep.
It very bad Joke
ian curtis would be so proud of you dave!!!!!!!!!!!!great cover
Proud are you funking mad
This is the only acceptable cover. I love Dave. ❤
Its good. Lol!!
@@karlmeadows4986 ?
Love it!!!
Respect to Depeche Mode and Dave Gahan. They covered this song beautifully. Dave's moody, baritone vocals are perfect for this song. Ian would be proud.
a legend sings a legend!
absolutely
The only man who can sing this song who is alive. Well done!
This cover needs a studio version.
God...only he could cover this...!!
Wooooooooow.. Worlds biggest goosebumps... I knew Dave had a powerful voice, but I'd never know he could "sink" this low.... Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
Works really well. He's got the right voice to do it justice. Joy Division and Depeche Mode 2 of my favourite ever bands and this is a top cover.
His baritone voice is a perfect fit. Flawless.
wonderful ....Dave‘s the best, the older the better ... sorry hon
Ian's voice was a one off ,. He was from Macclesfield in Cheshire at the bottom of Buxton , he had a farmer's market east Cheshire voice very cold and haunting it's a one off voice no one can match it , it's only Depeche mode fans saying it's good , the synths sound good though , if you don't believe me go and listen to the original , don't get me wrong enjoy the silence is in my top 15 of all time , and I love my music
@@karlmeadows4986 ians voice was actually very gentle. Listen to some of the interviews he did
@@karlmeadows4986 its a good cover. he is not tryinf to be ian.
@@karlmeadows4986 I’m intrigued what is a farmers market east Cheshire voice?
This performance is so good it deserves a studio version.
Very respectable (and respectful) cover.
Best Joy Division cover ever. Love Dave's voice
check nouvelle vague dude...just saying...

why not with deseche mode?

Because the original is perfect and this cover is very respectul unlike most covers of this song.
I know what you mean...
Spot on mate. Paul Young ruined it & Gahan stole it back for Curtis......
Because Ian Curtis (RIP) was a baritone & so is Dave Gahan...faithfully good cover
Fuck yeah.
Absolutely LOVE this!!!Especially the crowds reaction. They sound like they ALL realise how LUCKY they are to witness something TRULY SPECIAL!!!
Perfect voice for this song

Слушал Депеш Мод и Joy Division, ещё в школе, в СССР. Привет из Калининграда!
This song suits his voice so well!!
He has one of the best voices I've heard for this song. Most singers cant handle the low register.
This is the best cover version i ever heard.
If anyone is going to ian justice it is dave
This cover brought me to tears.
Only Dave could have done it this respectfully and beautifully.
No way! Is so accurate.
amazing, his voice and the energy of his song, just pure bliss
Dave G really nailed the emotion of the original with his voice. The voice is the soul of the song...

Dave you’re the greatest and your voice surely a gift from high up in heaven. You are such a joy to hear with that 💎 voice😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Yes!
In memory of Ian Curtis
Rest in peace, Ian Curtis.
"No way!!!"
I wish they recorded a studio version of this....best cover yet (nouvelle vague is a close second).
YES WAY, DUDE
Absolutely timeless and incredible song. It's a fucking poem.
Truly, this is a love song and beautifully repeated by Dave Gahan. One of my favorites through the decades.
Awesome job Dave, would love to have seen this live at one of their concerts. That would have been a once in a lifetime opportunity as this is one of my favorite JD songs.
I'm fan of both DM and Joy Division and this is just pure perfection!!!
absolutely flawless, probably the best cover of this song ever :') his voice is destined for it and his vocals are on point. i love both bands and he did this complete justice. it would be amazing to have a proper studio version of this
Dave Gahan's vox channels the soul of Ian!
Depeche Mode doing Joy Division. What could be more perfect? Love both bands.
wooaaa... diese Stimme... Danke, dass ich seit fast 30 Jahren Fan sein darf!! Ihr seid die BESTEN !!!!
0:37 a long time i didn,t hear the audience so crazy¡ Remind me Elvis and Beatles concert! Great job Dave! Unbelievable!
What a tribute, go Dave :) sounds so good.

Awesome cover by Dave , long live Ian, and joy division!!
Awesome cover version. Gahan has the right vocal tone for this song.
Do you ever think about the poignancy of a moment. This song was actually never performed live but is one of the most covered songs in history
That’s not actually true they performed it on October 27, 1979 in Manchester

This is Epic. They should record and distribute this sing.
It's not the cover, it's the spontaneity that gives this one such great dimension of a good reminder.

dave gahan is the king of the universe
Es una canción hermosa y es hermoso que Depeche mode la haya cantado .
Fue Dave Gahan en solitario! Depeche Mode no son de hacer muchos covers...el último fue Heroes de Bowie y no creo que hagan más.

No way!!! Wow that’s amazing Dave sang love will tear us apart!!!!
They should really make this into a studiosession
Aaaaaahhh🥰! That was so satisfying🤗. Dave captured the spirit of that song so freakin perfectly! I'm blown away😌
Man, this IS GREAT!
How have I only found this now?!?! Noooooo!!! Too may years of missed enjoyment.. damn it!
Joy Divsion should do reunion and add Dave as vocalist.
Ya but hes dead bud xD
Given that Ian Curtis is dead and Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook hate each other and haven't spoken in years then the chance of a reunion (of the remaining members) is pretty difficult
hahartley100 However, the first step is already done :-) : mute.com/new-order/announce-they-have-signed-to-mute
Pascal Rousselet New Order at Mute? That's huge!
***** No, they hate each other, think each other's a twat.
Wow only just discovered this ...epic
a voz desse homi e ouro cantado de tão poderosa forte e luxuosa!
Epic cover, of an Epic song.
Respect.
🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
better version than New Order! Gahan has a similar voice to Ian's and seems to have a better understanding of the lyrics too.
before new order they named joy division....but without ian it isn t j d
Better than Barney , but now we're near Ian's
@@SWalkerTTU no one new about epelepys in those days , when Ian had a siezure on stage the fans thought he was dancing and went crazy
Joy Division helped me trough life, as well as Depeche Mode.... brings tears to my eyes, I will never stop coming back to this

"No way!!!"
I can't imagine my life without ROCK!!!
Thank you so much rock-stars!!!
😍😍😍
best song ... best voice ... FUCKING AWESOME OF ALL TIME !!!
Certainly did justice to the original....
Sometimes songs are ruined when they are covered but this is an amazing cover...
The guy doing synth found the right sound, better than New Order's cover!

Pure emotion caught on camera. Brilliance in action. Magic in sound.

I am so in love with this cover. Dave is just incredible
Definitely Dave appreciated Ian Curtis deep dark vocals...and did their Cover very well...that's why I enjoy my 80s bands!
sooooooooooo great :) saw depeche mode live 20yrs ago - still looooooove them!!
Amazing cover by Dave 👍
