Peter Hook and The Light - Blue Monday (Live)

[@JemaKnight]

This is so authentic to the recorded versions. When you listen to a few more of his live tracks, you can tell... He's actually a really good singer, he's just being super faithful to the original sound - for both Bernard and Ian. Frankly, he's doing a better Bernard impression than even Bernard can pull off these days.

[@pally_wally]

I totally disagree. The original 12" of Blue Monday was almost 8 minutes long with a lot better. Still they are super worth seeing. Better than New Order IMO

[@neworderfan0532]

He may look older than in the 80s, but you can clearly see that his character and personality never aged . Hooky is still the wild and charismatic man of New Order, just that he isn't in the band anymore.

[@mikepalmer1971]

He was always my favorite one from New Order.

[@shaungreer3350]

for a second i thought you said he looks older than 80 and i was like whaaaatttttttttttt

J’ai 76 ans. I am 76. I live in Brittany. Je vis en BRETAGNE. POUR MOI, Peter HOOK est un admirable musicien. For me, Peter Hook is a great bass player. I saw him in Nantes, five year ago.

[@markstone1743]

His shows are outstanding 👏

[@michaelmckeever2175]

I've been to 5 perter hook and the light gigs, from dead house to full house they were all amazing, hooky and the guys are exceptional and put on a great showcase of the classics

[@Serguei_FripenkoTV]

One of the best song of the 80's!

[@kentborges5114]

PETER HOOK...WHY NEW ORDER WAS TOPS ! HIS ART TODAY IS SMASHING !

[@Onemoretimetine]

Thanks Lensflare & Larsen - Pure joy!! Grateful Peter Hook formed his own band. As a fan of over 42 years and regularly (daily) listen to their music, I am thrilled Peter Hook & the Light bring back & deliver Joy Division/New Order songs in an authentic, raw, and perfect way!!! Ian would be thrilled. I've seen them twice, booked again another three times - just love them.

[@craigpurvis1284]

My #1 song for what close to 40 years, never tired of it ...

[@dixhuit7078]

Merci, revivre les années 80 avec les vrais musiciens et le vrai chanteur .....C'est un cadeau, très beau cadeau pour la "new wave" , en France tout le monde adorait ce style musical, et aujourd'hui? Personne n'a oublié, tous les Français de cette époque ont dans leur tête ces chansons ou particulierement cette chanson, inoubliable!, marqué comme au fer chaud sur le bétail, toutes les personnes de cinquante ans rêveraient de revoir, d'écouter à nouveau New order sur des scènes, malgré l'ambiance politique..... toutes les personnes de Cinquante ans adorent New Order! Pourquoi? Devinez? Merci New Order, Devinez? ....les Gars, Bravo, merci...! Revenez, Revenez, revenez.....en concert privé? pourquoi pas? C 'est peut etre une idee à creuser......Merci, musiciens de ma jeunesse! ce n'est pas rien! Merci Messieurs.

[@dixhuit7078]

Quel grand plaisir de revivre en direct ses années de jeunesse new wave.....THankS, Thanks, Again, again, Thanks....

[@harveysmith100]

Very good vocals considering it is such a classic

[@pally_wally]

Saw them last Saturday at History in Toronto. Amazing. New Order is my favorite band of all time. My third time at least. Hooky was awesome.

[@dragooz8859]

How is that venue? We come up from western NY for shows (Scotia, Budweiser, Queen Eliz Theatre) but avoided History so far - because of "general admission". Wasn't sure if my 5'2" wife would get crushed in the crowd or even be able to see. Thanks - I'm going to see Hookey in Buffalo next year!

[@pally_wally]

​@dragooz8859 I've been there 5- 6 times. It's just over a mile from where I live so very convenient. There is an upstairs baclony GA area from whicn she will get a better view. Being on the floor in the middle would be tough on a shorter person but it's definitely worth a look. Great relatively new venue. Check it out!!!

[@ianwilliams2387]

[@jonesy2111]

I think Hooky is the making the best music these days compared to his former cohorts

[@Navikthered]

He understands what the fans want to hear, and genuinely puts a ton of emotion and passion into playing that and providing a hell of a show for them. I get the impression from reading his books that he never forgot that he came from a poorer background and got where he is today *because* of the fans, and he seems to genuinely want to perform his best for them. I can respect the hell out of that.

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

Not really he's just doing karaoke and pandering to self-importance for money. The band is doing just fine without him.

[@dixhuit7078]

1980 => 2022 = Blue monday 2022 ! wie gestern. wieder und wieder.

[@GeorgeSelva-h4d]

Interesting to see how Peter Hook and the light is a much better version of new order than new order, have you guys seen the latest version of this song done by NO?

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

Just searched for Hook because New Order with Bernard sounded weak.

[@dixhuit7078]

Superbe, Merci.......

[@Raptorias]

Hooky looks great.

[@Onemoretimetine]

Adore the grunge Hooky and his band bring to this song - pure joy. Have now seen them live seven times with another three booked. Can't recommend enough for Joy Division/New Order fans to see PH&TL live if you get the opportunity :)

​@45rpmSINGLES the real band and not the laughingstock karaoke band you like?

[@mhagain]

You do understand the reason why NO wrote Blue Monday in the first place, do you? They wanted a song that could be played entirely by machines so they wouldn't need to do encores. You may as well complain that the bass parts were played on a bass.

[@riobabic8960]

Back then pop music had originality which doesn’t exist today with crap like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé etc …

[@MaXTrapitsin]

Peter Hook perfectly performed the immortal hit New Order, no worse than Sumner. A more charismatic musician.

[@callactm14]

a joke that hookie

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

Not musically

[@deanwait]

Too much chorus and too little overdrive ( if he even uses overdrive nowadays ) It sounded better in the 80's cause there was perfect balance between the two, now the bass is too smooth for a new order song Good riff tho

[@baggykev]

Karaoke at it's best. Make it up with Bernard before it's too late .

[@doktorKupelwaiser]

It is not good whitout Bernard.

[@NoxiousRob]
