Thanks.

I'm a definite "maybe" for this one.

Peter Hook and the Light are coming to Milwaukee in April. Worth it?
A thousand times "YES" -- do not miss this show.

I saw them 2 years ago, and New Order a few months afterwards.

I loved both concerts, and I thought Peter Hook & the Light put on the better show.

That's because New Order isn't New Order without Hooky.

I get that.

The music they made with the new guy was still superb.

I just scored choice tix for Kraftwerk at Radio City Music Hall, I know they are old and there is maybe 1 original member but still it's a once in a lifetime thing.

They are starting their tour in St. Louis and I really want to go, but it's the night before VH, Jr.'s bar mitzvah, so I'm SOL.

Looking forward to the Small Fakers (Small Faces tribute) tomorrow night in Newcastle. Kenney Jones sometimes sits in with them and they are meant to be brilliant.

I dunno, 3 quarters of the original band is good enough for me and Tom Chapman does a reasonable job of sounding like Hook.

I watched that concert film from a year or two back. They sound like a New Order tribute band at this point. Which isn't a serious knock, given their age and all, but nevertheless they underwhelmed. Plus Barney looks like a lawn gnome now.

Less than 3/4 is usually my cutoff for seeing a legacy band, but for me Hooky is too integral, so it doesn't fly.

I have to agree with your "3/4" rule, it's just not the same without the original members. But I've made exceptions, just had to see the Replacements back in 2015.

And with some bands there are key members that cant be overlooked. Dead Kennedys immediately comes to mind. No Jello no DK.

Excellent example. In the case of the Mats, Bob Stinson and their 2nd drummer, Steve Foley, are both deceased, Slim Dunlap is incapacitated due to a stroke, so you're left with Paul & Tommy.
