Peter Hook Tickets

Overall, this was a great show, an opportunity to hear wonderful songs performed by one of the original writers. Peter Hook was surprisingly energetic and obviously putting a full effort into his singing. My only criticisms would be that the performers sounded more like 'Peter Hook and his back-up band' than a cohesive creative group. That may have been the result of a mix that kept all of the instruments at about the same level instead of increasing the guitar or bass to match the lovely mixes from Joy Division and New Order shows that I've listened to. It could also be the fact that this was Peter Hook and his band... Also the songs from Closer came across as a bit less natural than the others performed. I think perhaps the slower pace and more atmospheric quality of that record was less comfortable for the musicians. Regarding the opening act, Andre Obin, I suspect his performance may have actually been a Master's Thesis on the limits of human politeness. Getting on stage with just a laptop, microphone and synth - or whatever that was over there - takes courage and deserves respect... but... the affected English accent, the tired lyrics, the predictable and outdated electro pop, the uncomfortable hip gyrations and complete lack of rapport with his audience, made it a great time to step outside for a cigarette. I'm not saying this to bash a kid who obviously loves what he does, but I would certainly encourage him to try working with a band for a while, adding some diversity and a bit of self-regulation.

Very nice job with the sound and they played with energy

This show was everything a joy division fan could possibly dream for in the year 2011. Quite a good one.

Doing the legendary album Unkown Pleasures of Joy Division is reason enough to see this show. At a capacity filled show, Peter Hook was in fine time. the band was tight and the songs never sounded better. Joy Divison's singer committed suicide right before the American tour was supposed to start. So it was the only chance to hear these great songs. The crowd was definetly into it, dancing ,singing along. Specially myself ,( Front row). So do yourself a favor and see & hear these incredible songs from a band that was ahead of its time, but never forgotten. " Radio live Transmission", Anthony

One of the best concerts this year for me , so glad i bought tickets the day before . Took me back in time & charged my battery ! Good times / Moby did a good job as well

I've seen three of Peter Hook's shows so far --- 1) Unknown Pleasures @ Music Box in DEC 2010 2) Closer @ Music Box on 9/14/11 3) Unknown Pleasures @ El Rey on 9/16/11 The El Rey show was by far the best! The venue is awesome. Just the right size. The stage lighting could not have been better produced! Something about this show that made it such a punk feel to it --- bass was turned up way high and the guitar had lots of distortion and some "metallica" feel to it on some songs. The set list was amazing. The only bummer was that they didn't play Ceremony. It really looked like they whole band kicked it up a notch and was far more involved in the show --- just amazing. Towards the end, there was a small mashpit with body slamming --- but nothing that got out of hand. Best PH show!

I had a great night, one of my top concerts!!!!! I was in the first line thanks Lord. Man these two nights in L.A. were historicals. Hook is still plenty of energy. His son plays the bass like his best teacher, his father. He will rock soon. Perfect venue.

Best show I've seen in a while! The set was great, Moby truly did the songs justice, it was just amazing and electric!

Better than nostalgic. The songs never died and were more alive than ever. I loved Peter Hook on vocals and his stage presence. I'm sure Ian Curtis was there.

What a show. Talk about going back in time. It was a scary good show. The entire show was of epic musicianship. This was one of those nights for the books. This was a sad, but fun evening. It's sad, knowing there aren't many bands out there today that can deliver what "The Light" with Peter Hook did. This time around, Peter had fun and took over the show. Moby belted out a couple, and nailed it.

Very professional and actually quite emotional, I cried.

Show was insanely good. Peter Hook sounded great. It was so good to hear those songs live. They meant so much to me in my youth. With Ian Curtis gone, I thought it would never happen. The beauty and emotion in the music lives on. Moby came out and sang a few songs with guts and abandon. The guy brought it. Fantastic show.

It was such a good show, one of the most amazing shows I have ever been to.

Fantastic performance... the Light takes Joy Division's music to another level... having two bass guitarists really does justice to the heavy driving feeling already captured on record... a highlight of the show was the not-so-surprise appearance by Moby, who seemed to be channeling his inner Henry Rollins more than Ian Curtis... during the encore, "Warsaw" had the audience pogoing like it's 1981... after listening to "Unknown Pleasures" for over 20 years, it was very rewarding to hear these tunes played live by musicians that understand how they should sound.

It was amazing to hear all those Joy Divison songs played live by one of the original members. I saw New Order twice back in 1982 and and Peter Hook spent most of the concerts snearing at the crowd while the rest of the band played while staring at the back wall. Friday night at the El Rey Hook came across as a normal guy enjoying what he does for a living. Great show, Great music and a great venue.

I was skeptical about going to see this band perform the music of Joy Division- but Peter Hook has managed to put together the perfect band to play this music and they do so with the passion and intensity that it deserves. Additionally Hook's 30 year history with the music and vocal style actually adds a new dimension to the lyrics of Ian Curtis. The venue is probably one of the best that I have ever been to. The Music Box has a wonderful neo-gothic design, amazing acoustics and wide open floor. There is not a bad seat in the house.
