Peter Hook & The Light’s “Substance – The Albums Of Joy Division & New Order” Tour Returning in 2018

July 31, 2017 by Jason DeBord

Peter Hook & The Light are bringing their incredible “Substance – The Albums Of Joy Division & New Order” back to the U.S. in 2018. Hooky and the band will be performing both the Joy Division and New Order albums Substance live, in their original track sequence and in their entirety.   Having reviewed the tour in 2016, Rock Subculture rated it the #3 show of all of 2016, so it is definitely expected to be one of the best tours in 2018.

“The hangman looks round as he waits, the cord stretches tight, then it breaks…” Peter Hook & The Light opened their sold out concert at The Fillmore in San Francisco on Saturday night with the dark and prescient “In A Lonely Place”.  Kind of an appropriate song to begin with for a few reasons…  of course, it is from New Order’s Substance, which they played in it’s entirety, in it’s original track order (with three bonus songs on the front and one at the end).  But it was also a song that the original members of New Order wrote as Joy Division with front man Ian Curtis from that original band.  So it really doesn’t sound anything like a New Order song at all; it is distinctly Joy Division (dark, analog, and sans any pop sensibility).  Having covered Peter Hook & The Light’s previous “album” tours in the past few years, I expected them to come out and do the Joy Division set first and the New Order set second, but they flipped the script.  But that first song, is at once a Joy Division song and a New Order song… at the time a bridge from the past to the future.  They led out with New Order’s Substance and closed the night performing the Joy Division compilation album of the same name.  So how was it?  Well, I saw the full original band perform in live in concert almost a quarter of a century ago.  In recent years, I’ve seen Peter Hook as Peter Hook & The Light several times.  I’ve also seen the rest of New Order (sans Peter Hook) touring separately several times as well.  I have to say that, hands down, this show was the best “New Order” performance I’ve ever experienced.  In my opinion, New Order’s Substance – their most seminal work – this is the best it’s ever been done live on stage.  It truly exceeded my own hopeful and lofty expectations.  At the center of it all is the fact that Peter Hook somehow continues to keep the “flame” of both Joy Division and New Order ignited and authentic to what it was and always will be to those who find power and meaning in the works of both bands. Brilliant show. [Read more…]
