I see the glass as half full --- or two glasses half full.
For Peter Hook, I attended two of his "The Light" shows in LA. Great energy, great Joy Div music!
N.O sans Hook is not the same, agreed. But, still 75% original.

I say this as a huge JD/New Order fan, and I saw New Order for the first time in 1983 at the Hollywood Palladium, where their entire encore was comprised of JD songs. (I still have the shirt  )
Also, Peter Hook was probably the reason I picked up the bass over 25 years ago. The show won't be the same without him. Bummer, as I got excited when I saw this post.  |
