When I first heard this in high school in 1984, it opened up the world of alternative music. I didn't fully realize it at the time, but I learned the importance of following your own path. For me, this song represented everything that was possible. It was the definition of cool.

Can't be 1984, "The Perfect Kiss" was released in 1985...! From the excellent album "Low Life" (one of my New Order's best album)... Saw the band live twice (Roskilde Festival, Denmark, July 1st, 1984 and Reading Festival, August 25 th, 1989)... Saw "Peter Hook and the Light" in Montpellier, France, on May 4 th, 2019.

The perfect version of the Perfect Kiss, far superior to the version played by the current NO lineup.

Sadly, I agree

Peter Hook was the heartbeat of New Order.

He’s the KING. You just can’t erase him from New Order’s history.

"Now that's how you play the fucking Perfect Kiss" Thanks so much Hook and company!

Best new order song of all time IMO

The final three minutes of this is just an absolute clinic

Hooky's son looks so much like him. Must be amazing to play with Dad on stage to some real classics.

Nothing compares to hooky, NO is not a new order without him.

I love the song but 6:12 it gives me chills when they kick it into high gear!! Love love. I can only imagine how euphoric it is to play this song!!

It is literally my favorite song of all time.

Great version and Hook jammin/dancing. Yes I'll have another 👍👍

Peter Hook creates the sound of New Order that my ears crave to hear. I can't describe it exactly but the last 2 1/2 minutes of this song sums it up pretty much.

Holy fuck! this might be best version of this song I've heard!!!

You would not be alone in your thinking. It would be easy to think that Peter Hook and the Light might be some lightweight Joy Division / New Order covers band, but they absolutely nail the songs time after time. This is another great example, and I would agree with you, it's the best version I've heard.

@@fridgeman2008 Its funny people used to hammer pottsy for sounding too much like barney back in the day, now they are applauding him for doing new order better than NO are these days. NO put a concert video of this song up and a lot of the comments were how "pottsy sings this better".

when new order played this song, back at 'the pier' in New York, in 1986, i had pretty good tickets. Luckily, the guys infront of me had already passed out by the time new order came on stage. it was truly amazing watching and listening to these kids and the sounds they made with their instruments (machines?) and voices. The music was loud and you couldnt help it be blown away . . . . i want it, i want it, thats why i'm here right now. i want that moment.... and peter hook just took me there!

Great song. Always been one of those songs you just don’t ever want it to end.

I saw Peter Hook and the Light in Atlanta, probably about 8 years ago. The ticket was like $25, figured eh, if its disappointing, no great loss. Well, no need to worry, they played the entire Substance dual CD + some Joy Division, 3+hours all with a Hooky edge to it. Absolutely epic. I'd fly back there to see them again in a heart beat. They were that good.

The king of bass gritar, the one, Mr. Peter Hook!

What can you say? Nailed it. Tremendous version. Total surprise to find Pottsy on vocal. The dual vocal sounded ace. Top, top drumming and utterly sublime overall.

In love with the "Poland" Keyboard...

I do not even feel worthy enough to experience this!! 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

Happy birthday legend

Was able to see New Order play this live in the mid 80's this is by far the best version. Thank you.

Hooky’s bass riffs are just unique

This is the ultimate song ever

I stood there beside myself Thinking hard about the weather Then came by a friend of mine Suggested we go out together Then I knew it from the start This friend of mine would fall apart Pretending not to see his gun I said, "Let's go out and have some fun" I know, you know, you believe in a land of love I know, you know, we believe in a land of love When you are alone at night You search yourself for all the things That you believe are right If you give it all away You throw away your only chance to be here today Then a fight breaks out on your street You lose another broken heart in a land of meat My friend, he took his final breath Now I know that the perfect kiss, is the kiss of death

Incredible version of this song by Hook. A damn Masterpiece

Just played it again on a Bose and it is utterly ridiculous. Running out of superlatives; the crescendo when Hooky comes back in is visceral and pummelling. Always my favourite New Order tune, just ! This version rivals the original 12 inch- marvellous !

Leave it to Peter to bring it home on the bass😘 Perfect💋

Sweet! This was always one of my favorite NO songs. Loved the video too. This takes me back for sure.

Incredible bass playing. Didn’t even know a bass could make those sounds. Nice to see it up close. He stil has the fingers to make it happen.

Thank you Peter and The Light - as I mentioned on twitter earlier - this is the song and baseline that made me a fan for the last 35 years. Bass forward and the perfect song.

Have been following New Order since the late 80s lately i have immersed myself in the pleasures of Joy Division masterpieces coming from Malta

Hookys a legend, 😎👍

Absolutely perfect, tight production and Pottsie spot on vocals, bet you can't wait to do it back on the road, hope you can do some festivals soonish.
