Peter Hook and the Light is coming to town in early May.

I'm a big New Order and Joy Division fan ... but I'm torn about seeing this show.

Anyone seen him in this new incarnation, and if so, how was the gig?
I've got a few boots that I can upload for you if you want to sample.

Thanks. I may ask for that.

In the meantime, I'll scan YouTube and see what I can find.

I hope an IMCTer has been to a show and can give a first-hand account; I'm especially interested in a song list.

Can't help with the first hand account, but you can peruse setlists here: https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/peter-h ... d5d26.html

Saw him a year or two ago and am also seeing him on this tour. It was amazing - the Joy Division stuff being particularly out of this world good. While he can't really sing, his voice works surprisingly well (esp. on the Curtis songs) and he has a guitar player who helps out occasionally on some of the Barney stuff. Frankly far better than any of the 2 - 3 New Order concerts I saw when they were touring stadiums in North America.

Thanks.

Chances have increased greatly that I will buy tickets for this show.

He did some insane performance some time back that was every goddamned JD song. Fuck you, Value For The Money Springsteen.

The MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES are doing a free show in my area next Saturday, so I'll be pulling out all the stops for that one.

Just snagged tix for the MC50 tour on their Denver stop. The fact that Kim Thayil is on guitar and Brendan Canty is drumming put it over the top for me. It's an MC5 supergroup coverband, essentially, and that sounds fun as fuck to me. And I ehn't never actually seen Wayne Kramer live, so this checks that one off the list.

In May I've got DOA & MDC and then hitting the Paul Simon farewell tour. I think they should combine those shows, personally.

Here's that Peter Hook show where he plays the JD catalogue: http://turbobit.net/fzhkghep9zwv.html

That makes me think of a weird thing about Paul Simon. Back in '85 or so, I remember him telling an interviewer that his favourite band at the time was Jesus and Mary Chain. Which surprised me by a fair mile.

I love it when old rock icons turn out to dig hip stuff.

Like Mike Love presumably digs Sugar Ray?

When's the Denver MC50 show? I gotta see this. Im a big Wayne Kramer fan and would really like to see him live. Could pair it with a trip to see family perhaps. They are also doing Montreal and NYC area so I might shoot for one of those instead.
