Sublime! New Order don’t exist without Hooky.

I am a massive Joy Division but never saw them live. I did see practically all of my favourites back in the day, U2, Siouxsie, Echo, The Cure etc and indeed New Order in 82 and 83 in Dublin. I thought my JD live experiences were restricted to KZread and even the Control movie, which was great by the way. So when Peter Hook and The Light played a bizarre gig in Dublin's Leopardstown Racecourse in 2014, I could not believe my luck. There were probably 100 people there, most just having a drink after the evening's race card. I'd guess there 20-30 there specifically to see the band. But Peter Hook and the band never made any sarky comments about the crowd and played it as good as they would any big gig. You can tell he and the band love the music and playing these songs. I loved his vocals too. He sings the songs with real meaning, love and passion. I saw The Light and was in New Wave Nirvana ! Thanks Peter and the band for a great night and one of the best gigs I was ever at. It was a dream come true for this fan I can tell you.

"They keep calling me!" They certainly do. Thanks so much to Hooky and the Light for this. Great Band. Pray for the holy soul of Ian.

This is what made Joydivision and new order so distinguished in sound those awesome hooky bass riffs !! Cheers everyone !!

Hooky is the Neil Peart of bass!!

The Legend that is Peter Hook 🙌

I can NEVER get tired of hearing this song

Please keep doing these as long as you guys can stand it. Not only is it the closest thing to a live show we're getting for the foreseeable future, but it's also a great resource for learning these songs.

This song's bass-line is just so addictive

Incredible. This is the closest I'll ever get to Joy Division in my lifetime. It sounds incredibly good & there's no better voice/person to be fronting this than Peter. I hope you keep this up for a very, very long time. Thank you Peter & the tight backing band. Salford punk!

The only one and right one to be aware of the heritage of Joy Division. Thank you very very much Peter Hook...Stay tuned and love all of our spirit of JD

Stunning stuff. These sessions really do bring the dullest of Lockdown days alive. Cheers boys. To the time again when we can witness this brilliance live. Not too long, I hope.

Two basses shaking my house and my wife is trying to sleep.

Brilliant - Thank you all and never stop playing JD

Seen New Order 65 times live (with Hooky) wouldn't go and see them again. Hooky has brought back to life all the great tracks from Joy Division to New Order. One of my best moments was ' homage' in Poland 2016

One of the top 5 most influential musicians in my life: Peter Hook! 🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽🔥

Thanks for all the work you guys are doing and praying for the day the live gigs are able to be performed.

The sound of Joy division and New Order. Hook on bass 👌

One of my Favourite 49 songs by Joy Division! See yous at Rebellion 2022 ! dx

Peter Hook sings this song well He is a legend

Met Peter a few times. A genuinely lovely bloke. Glad he's still doing what he loves. Looking forward to next year's gigs✊🏻👍🏻👌

thank you for giving us this beautiful taste of live music when we are all starving for it! such a great rendition 💜

I love the way Peter Hook plays the bass guitar.

He's the best bassist IMHO.

Excellent, as ever. Random fact 1, my ex swears she saw Peter Hook in Derby, shopping about 14 years ago... and it still comes up in conversation. Random fact 2, After Ian left us, in requiem, I stole all of the blue neon from the roof of the Ajanta Theatre in Derby, which was the venue of the 2nd to last Joy Division gig, ever. I had it in my flat during the 80's, and I still have one piece left, which resides on the wall of the studio. It always reminds me of Ian,, and how difficult it is to shimmy down a drain pipe whist carrying 6 foot long neon tubes, in the rain.

Fun fact 3: Neon gas tubes produce red light. Depending on the gas (and use of phosphors) different colours can be produced. A blue light will likely be argon and mercury. They started cheating and coloured the glass . No blue neon lights.

Peter Hook & The Light = Excelente sonido🔥🎸🤘

My Favourite of all time! Been into em since I was 14 in 1978 ! dx

Best ever Joy Division song for me. Perfect.

My favourite track ever of JD ! So lovely, so dark, so powerful, so everything...

Dead Souls makes this soul feel alive!

The moment I listened to Joy Division, I immediately fell in love with their songs.

BACK FOR MORE AMAZING HOOKY....LOVE IT.

I could listen for hours that bass.

Cheers Peter for helping us all through this and reminding us that we live for art such as yours and others .Hoping to dream of a day when we can see you live !!!!

They just keep getting better and better. Like a fine wine.

Astonishingly good. A few tears here........

Words cant explain having heard this played........top tune....

I will always love this song

Hooky seems to have a better understanding of what made JD/NO great. Compared to Barney who seems to forget everything

Yeah. I don't mind New Order's new stuff but it just sounds so much more safe and unadventurous now.

The sound is amazing. I really REALLY love the fx on Hookys Vocals. It's got that lovely Sizzle!

Excellent keep the music flowing taking the music of my beloved band to the masses of people not fortunate enough to see jd in there prime only saw them once sat night Oct 79 supporting thebuzzcocks at the apollo peter has always been the heart beat thanks

You guys are absolute legends ! Who could ask for better during the current times...We all appreciate your time and effort in putting this together 🎸🐝

That stutter drum bit on 4th beat - nailed it!

This is an unbelievable version

Love the 2 bass intro...and outro is even better...

After hearing the newest New Order release I have to say Hooky's bass lines were essential.

Great performance. I love the initial instrumental

You are the most respect bassist in the world ❣️

Justice well done to one of JD’s best

Fantastic sounding! Rock on!

Made me cry. it's so good!

more live recordings please! thank you

Great to hear this re-working. My fave JD track...found on a bootleg years ago...

What a truly majestic song and powerful, heartfelt performance - what you guys have done for your fans during lockdown has been nothing short of inspirational. Thank you.

Love love the lockdown sessions

IMHO, Hooky caries the flame of Joy Division and pre-Substance New Order rather than the actual group New Order of today.

@Mango Man New Order without Hooky is not New Order, in the same way that Joy Division without Ian Curtis was not Joy Division. If Sumner, Morris and his wife wanted to continue in a band without Peter Hook, they should have come up with a new name instead of pretending to be the same band.

@Mango Man I don't regard New Order as a covers band, someone else said that, but I don't regard them as New Order without Peter Hook being in the band. I understand that Barney and Stephen pretty much took over creative control and wanted to move to a completely electronic sound, while Hooky was constantly fighting to have his bass lines included, to the extent that the others would pretty much record electronic songs then allow Hooky to add a bassline almost as an after thought. I think the brilliance of New Order was that they combined both elements

I like seeing them live. He has the passion still. After all these years. Nice 2 minute intro!

Now THIS was a great start to this week!! Thanks for sharing! :)

Beautiful mixing job! Thanks for the upload, it’s a real boost to the spirits. ✌️🍎🌻
