Love Will Tear Us Apart - with choir - Peter Hook & The Light @ Manc Cathedral

[@dragandraganic]

A song which deserves its own church.

[@peterw2880]

Holy crap this is incredible. The choir, the venue, the energy, even Hooky’s voice. It’s just perfect

[@julioalcaraz5417]

The entire performance, from start to finish, a total English feel to it all. Amazing

[@DandamanV]

I, for one, like his voice. The gruffness and passion he sings with is genuine; he means the words he's singing.

This is so true. I've seen Peter Hook and New Order this year and loved the Peter Hook version.

[@jeffklopfer9907]

By far Peter Hooks version is better.

[@JorgeGarcia-nu9ml]

In the end, when he plays those last chords at 4:42 to 5:12... beautiful

[@dclefevre]

hooky has just as much right to do this song as anyone in Joy Division and New Order... and this is pretty good...

[@krasteff]

Judging from this performance its pretty bad.

[@rael1999]

Think you need to get your earring sorted Dave....The sound is good but Hooky's vocals are like a bad pub Karaoke rendition ! Biggest mistake many bands make when the guy who writes and plays guitar thinks he can sing....Johnny Marr is another culprit sadly !

[@therespectedlex9794]

rael1999 It's in the right spirit though. You can't get anyone else more Joy Divison than him, I would have thought.

@@marksmales8361 Haha!! "Even I cringe", from the self-appointed "world's biggest JD & NO expert & critic, bar none"! Methinks that YOU are the Muppet, Mark...& you referred to "The Respected Lex" as a "muppet, when he was actually quite complimentary toward Hooky's effort here & "rael1999" was the more critical one, to whom "Lex" had replied...knocking back a crate of lager before posting your $hite comment, were we?

[@petercollier4362]

This is the way song should be played. Hook is a rock n roll god and kept the spirit of Joy Division alive.

[@hookyhook6006]

Hooky tells us to pray for a happy ending. I like to think it’s because Ian (Curtis) never got one, and that we should count our blessings in his memory.

[@hookyhook6006]

@Ian Thompson When a good friend dies and his legacy’s impacted you even 40 years after, it’s bound to get emotional.

[@julioalcaraz5417]

Thank you 🙏 Peter for praying 🙏 for a happy ending for us all

[@danieljames5599]

The choir and Cathedral acoustics add a beautiful element to an already stupendously gorgeous song!

[@onealspence8548]

The ending is extremely emotional. When Hooky just playing those simple notes again. Part of a massive important song. He has a moment to reflect himself. Hooky god bless mate wow.

[@patodonnell8605]

I have been watching anything I could get my hands on from Joy Division since 1983 and listening to all the odd releases my record shop in New Mexico could find. To see Peter Hook in this way is an emotional moment for me. Regardless of performance, to have a member of the original band on stage playing original songs may not be "pure" but it still has the ability to move me in ways their music only could. I am grateful to be in an age where I can bring this up in seconds on my PC and watch with excellent sound and video quality

[@29markeys]

Such a great song through the ages. People will still listen to it in 2079. Great performance by Hooky, and that Choir is awesome.

[@howell_124spider]

This is a wonderful version of the song. The original is unbeatable and ians voice will never be replaced as thats unthinkable but at least hooky is passionate about playing the original songs from the band that started his career. respect to him. RIP Ian Curtis the lyrical god.

[@vannjunkin8041]

He puts on such a great show!! Saw him in Atlanta last year. One of my favourite concerts ever!

[@Philofuzz]

Compared to the " let's change the key of the original so Bernard can sing it but by by doing this, completely ruining the feel of the song" by far the better version. Don't get me wrong, you can do with your own songs whatever you want, but in this particular case, Peter Hook understands, better than the New Order cover version, where the emotion from this song comes from.

[@PYDPIPER]

Ian had an unique voice tone that you can actually feel in this tune, Bernard was nowhere near Ian's style, but it was what the band went with, his tone was too soft overall i think compared to the gritiness of Ians.

[@revol148]

Matthias Dillen presumably you've endured the atrocity that was Monaco or Revenge? Hook couldn't last a minute without Sumner or Curtis writing the songs hence in later years he has played it safe by being a fat tribute act to his former bands.

[@mrj3473]

@@revol148 Monaco’s debut album was absolutely fantastic. Peters vocals on that album were great

[@GrumpyMarine1978]

Well. This is a whole different take on the song. It has a whole different vibe since Ian’s untimely passing. This is really a different interpretation now.

[@rodrock85]

" And other time you like pray ? Now Its a good time to do it . Where you gonna pray for ? Nothing ll gave you´ve everything you need. And I ll gonna pray for a happy end. We should know all have a happy end ! " AMAZING !! God Bless You Peter Hook !!! IAN FOREVER !!

[@Solodolo84]

It's always those people who crap on a person's voice or sound, but in this particular sound, its cool to have a drolling, rough, deep feeling type voice to compliment the lyrics. Especially as u get older, u soak in it. Props to hooky and the light and to all of us who still enjoy this music. All the ones that don't get it... listen again and do your homework.

[@fraknews4241]

+glenrich84 Hook always had this song locked.

[@rael1999]

+glenrich84 ....lol you sound like one of those pouncy modern art critics that think they can see shit no-else can, and act all superior, you're not related to that twat Paul Morley are you lol ? Hookey's a legend but he crucifies the vocals on this one, pretty simple to anyone who isn't tone deaf !

[@crypttonite]

he sounds fucking great FOOL

[@hookyhook6006]

In popular music, it’s about the rawness of the performance. There are thousands of vocalists that completely outclass Hooky, but it’s his rawness and soul that make the performance worthwhile . It also helps that Hooky is *living history.*

[@paladinepaladine]

@@rael1999 I'm glad that everyone has different ideas on music, it would be so boring otherwise :) Assuming you've not, go and see them live I think you'll really enjoy them.

Sounds WAY better than Barney at least, plus he's playing it in the original key unlike New Order.

sounds totally natural, the spirit the man was part of the creation of this song in the first place, he knows the song in a way only a creator can....obviously he & Ian have different voices.

[@bezaytsuhni722]

Had the distinct pleasure of seeing hooky in Dallas may22, 2018 and it was a fantastic show, started off by playing all of New Orders Substance album, then they took a break of about 10 minutes then proceeded to play all of Joy Divisions substance album. After the show we loitered outside us and about 60 other fans and he took the time to sign anything and take as many pics as we wanted and just hung out and didn't act the least bit of a star but instead as a humble man who understands his lucky and talented stars and that without us fans he wouldn't be able to do what he loves. And for that I will always love and admire Peter Hook, he connects with every day people on multiple levels

[@vannjunkin8041]

Saw him in the ATL same tour. Awesome show.

I like the way Peter says, "You know what I'm gonna pray for. A happy ending." (I can't stop thinking of Mrs Palmer and her five daughters when he says this.) Poor sod, he was flummoxed with that blokes answer so he had to think of something pretty fast onstage. Went to see him when he was in Syd 2019. Great concert and well put together with a full Orchestra. Brilliant, he is thinking outside the square.

I like it. Hooky sings it with feeling. The venue (esp. in black & white) is wild and very appropriate. And lest's face it -- as others mentioned here -- Ian wasn't a great singer. If someone sang it who had a beautiful voice, this song would sound weird.

[@TheEnrieb]

I really like this cover, odd to see people criticizing Peters vocals in the comments, I thought his vocals were spot on and captured the feeling of the song, wtf do you want.. Bono murdering it again? When you're young and this song means the world to you and you are playing it in your bedroom singing along as loud as you can get away with, or when you're parents were out so you could play it as loud as the stereo would go, you would imagine yourself doing a Ian Curits impression singing this live. I feel this is what Peters doing here, but instead of pretending to be live and just singing along in the bedroom, he's actually doing it live. Good work Hooky.
