I think these shows, in such a small venue are going to fucking immense . Smallest since the Hacienda for me at least. I was absolutely made up when i got them.

If i manage to secure tickets for Glastonbury that would make my year i think.

I went last year to watch Black Grape there. It is a fantastic venue.

Do the tickets have anti-tout measures? Cause I'll probably buy one nearer the time if not

No I don't think so. Can't seem to find sny on the secondary ticketing sites though as of yet, as I need another for the 1st of July gig.

They do love a live album

Pretty cool setlist, especially with the La Roux feature which I reckon would be great - absolutely no idea if that show was particularly good though? 

[Ronald Roundhouse]

Their sound was shit last year on The Other Stage, this album is possibly full of overdubs which is pretty poor for an electronic band. Barbie is no live vocalist either

[simian_mobile_mushrooms]

Caught New Order last summer - were really good, played all the hits. Not much chat between songs mind but who cares when you're bopping along to Bizarre Love Triangle

No idea mate. The best live albums from them are the Bestival set from a few years ago and the Pumped Full of Drugs release from back in the day.

The Finsbury park gig in the rain is ace as well.

I do like the Glasgow DVD they released. The Reading 98 set is good as well.

Has anyone seen Peter Hook & The Light, are they any good? Playing quite local to me tonight so wondering if it's worth popping down.

Saw them at bestival a couple of years ago, they were good, but not spectacular. Worth it if it's not too expensive and you like the tunes

Peter Hook is ace, I'd always recommend. Setlists on this tour look great too.

Heard a few people say his vocals are rubbish and a bit bass heavy on the New Order tracks. But both Substance albums in full is swaying me towards a trip to Cardiff tonight

Saw him in Nottingham last Saturday and he was fantastic live. Also saw him at Y Not last year and was smashing there too. I'd really recommend seeing him if you can!

Yeah I'm swayed, a lot of good reports from recent gigs.

Well he's obviously no Curtis but his voice is far better than Bernard's is now

It's easy to sound good when so much is from tape. He's not even playing the basslines half the time.

Hes a bad prick.

Nah no chance. He ruins the New Order songs. He should let Pottsy sing the New Order ones and he should stick to the Joy Division ones.

Saw him last summer at Watchet. Totaly disapointed with the karaoke performance, wandered off to get a beer and I wasn't even that thirsty! He came across as really having no respect for the music - just a bit of an arse wanting an audience.

[the wonderwhy]

Fair nuff. I saw him at Victorious which was a much shorter set & full of hits anyway, so perhaps I didn't get a true reflection of one of his shows. 

I can't really argue with the expert that is @eastynh anyways

That Temptation break down is ace. Would have loved to have been there.

Hot Chip together with New Order could do no wrong?????????

Maybe not 

 

I like this a lot

Am not really an expert mate, just a fan. I have the upmost respect for his bass lines and the part he played in making the most important music in my life.

I do not know the bloke so maybe wide of the mark when calling him a prick. Yet that is the impression I get from listening to him speak. 

[the wonderwhy]

Peter Hook has some live albums out too, then. Might pick the Power, Corruption & Lies one up on Record Store Day as at 20 quid its not a major rip-off like some of the other stuff.

I thought they were excellent, awesome set, short but perfectly formed.

Yeah I thought it was great. It was a great atmosphere if not an authentic experience of the music as it was intended. A bit like going to see Brian Wilson.
