    There is nothing that matches live music.

    by Fat Old *&*& on 8/28/22The Fillmore Silver Spring - Silver Spring

    It is especially good when you can see the band, they are actually playing and not mimicking a track, lip syncing or otherwise hiding their inability to play. Peter Hook - wow. I'm a huge fan of Joy Division and New Order and I was not disappointed.

    The Spirit of Ian Curtis Returns

    by VANDERGRAAFK on 10/12/11El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles

    A long-standing fan of Joy Division since 1981, I didn't quite know what to expect from Peter Hook and the Light. Given the odd concert behavior of New Order - once they played with their backs to the audience at Florentine Gardens in Hollywood - I hoped that Peter Hook, the bassist, who gave Joy Division its "sound" (aided by Martin Hannett) would interpret the Joy Division songs in the original sense they sought to bombard us (the audience) with. And, I was not disappointed. Nor were the many other people (most too young to remember the real Joy Division). One question I had prior to the concert was quite simple. Billed as the Unknown Pleasures version of the tour, what would Peter add to the show to complement an album that came in at maybe 40 minutes. Yes, there were songs from Closer that could be incorporated. But, as most Joy Division aficionados know, that album represented a turning point. Songs such as Atmosphere heralded the rise of New Order and the end of the Warsaw/Joy Division Unknown Pleasures band. Had Ian Curtis lived, one wonders whether this tension between the New Orderish Joy Division or the Warsaw Joy Division would have continued and led to even greater success than that demonstrated on Closer. Well, Peter Hook and the Light did not disappoint. They played the songs from Closer that fit with Unknown Pleasure and the 12 inch EPs that bridged the gap. It's hard to point to any one outstanding song. Transmission, Dead Souls, the list goes on and on. Of course, Love Will Tear Us Apart was reserved for the encore finale. An appropriate ending that everyone expected. What was unexpected - and a thrill to see performed live - were the two Warsaw songs that Peter Hook and the Light gave us. The one disappointment - if one can even call it a disappointment - was the appearance of Moby. His version of Dead Souls graced the soundtrack to Heat. So, in some respect, he is associated with that song. Yet, his appearance on stage added nothing to the song. His other efforts were equally flaccid. What I preferred to do while listening to the performance was to close my eyes and imagine the epileptic, spastic gyrations of Ian Curtis on stage. The music was there and Peter Hook's vocals were apt enough to allow me to envision the long-delayed first North American tour of Joy Division.

    Hooky in L.A!

    by JMT4465 on 9/28/11El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles

    Great gig. Moby came on as a special guest and did a couple of tracks (She's Lost Control, Transmission) The El Rey is a top place to see gig's, it was my first time at a gig in L.A and although not as lively as gig's in the U.K, the crowd were still responsive.

    Incredible night

    by Anonymous on 9/26/11Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    This was an incredible show that far surpassed my expectations. Electronic artist André Obin's opening set was brilliantly hypnotic, and Peter Hook's performance of Closer was perfect from start to finish.. A special night that won't be forgotten soon.

    ANother great show

    by enowannabe on 9/22/11Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    Saw them at the Royale last year. This was another great show. Hook is not exactly a riveting front man, but he does a decent job. The band is tight and committed. The sound was very good considering The Paradise has lousy acoustics. The show started with an absolutely thundersous version of Dead Souls, with Hook and his son both playing bass. They played the entire Closer album. That album drags a bit in places, so the show did too. But they made up for it with an extended encore that included several songs from Unknown Pleasures.

    Joy Division - lost and found

    by Iamenglish on 9/22/11Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    First off Peter hook and the light were truly amazing. They were faithful yo the joy division sound and played closer straight through without a break. After they played their hits followed by two full generous encores. Again it was as if one was transported back to British tv watching Tony Wilson introduce Joy Division as the sound of Manchester. Personally hearing the sound of Joy Division live was one of those moments that gas been missing for a while. The death of Ian Curtis and the long standing refusal of New Order to play the music left a void that hooky and the light finally filled with their excellent show. Thank you hooky on many different levels. You are a brave man to resurect joy division and bring them to the land they never got to. Come back soon and god speed till then.

    1980 all over again!

    by mrkartoom on 9/22/11Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    This was the show I didn't get to see in 1980. The show brought back a lot of great memories and Peter did a great job keeping true to the music. Played a long set and many other great songs not from Closer. It's a shame that Bernard and Steven aren't part of this, but the Light are all great musicians. Loved it.
