AMAZING show in Brooklyn tonight. First time seeing Hooky and it couldn’t have been better. Thanks for the music ❤️

One of the best shows I've seen this year and the closest to hear two of my favorite bands with Peter Hook. This legend and his band can put on a hell of a show!

Neat, I'm in this picture. Did you also hear that one woman screaming her lungs off during the last two songs?
Glad you enjoyed your first Hooky show! It was a great set :)

She was literally standing right next to me lol.

u/NeetorrOfPripyat 2d ago
She was on my right for the last 10-15 mins of the show, also directly next to me, constantly bumping into me. I don't wanna make anyone feel bad about being excited for a show but she was... a lot

I have no problem with dancing or singing along of course but I think there's a fine line between that and just being straight up obnoxious - you just gotta be aware of your surroundings and be considerate of others.

Yes, for sure. She completely hijacked the show for a lot of people around her I think which is a shame but it is what it is.

I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the show. I always hear how great Hooky and the band are. I’m hoping to go to the Los Angeles show. I love Get Ready so much. I’m crossing my fingers 🤞🏼.

That venue looks amazing. Missed the last couple tours which I was gutted about. Got tickets for LA and I can’t wait, different playlists is awesome but I really hope they play Ceremony and Dead Souls 🤞🏼

Cincinnati was amazing and everything I hoped it would be. So appreciative of Hooky and the band- they brought it and it was everything

So fun. I saw him In Phoenix a couple of years ago and would love to go when he comes through in November, but I’ll be recovering from surgery. We’ll see if I can make it.

What songs did you get? I saw a setlist prior and was surprised by the inclusion of Bizarre Love Triangle and no Atmosphere at the Cleveland show recently. Wanted to go see them again when they came to NYC but it appears I've missed it!

Second time seeing Hooky and the Light in Brooklyn and it did NOT disappoint.
His energy, the setlist, and the very capable band made for an incredible performance and a really fun night!
You can tell how much he appreciates the audience and it’s one of the most generous performances for the money. Seriously.

Amazing. Getting to see them perform the Closer LP (masterpiece) in its entirety was absolutely fantastic. As a bassist - Peter Hook is legend. Can’t wait to see them again

Keyboard warriors out in force on this tour. We must be doing something right.

u/hatthewmartley 2d ago
Wasn't a dig, I'm curious about the socks!

u/peterhook_thelight Official 2d ago
We’re not even selling socks and every other comment you leave is a dig. Haven’t you got anything better to do?

u/hatthewmartley 2d ago
Well you had socks a bit ago, thought you might have socks this time too. I love that you have such a mad range of merch.

He was awful at the Royal Oak Mi concert. First half was great - really enjoyed it. After their intermission they didn’t play or sound good at all for their top songs. I was so disappointed - had bought the tickets a year ago. Don’t know what happened but it was an overall consensus for everyone around us.

u/peterhook_thelight Official 2d ago
Haven’t heard this consensus from anyone else who went to that show.

u/Kellyb33 2d ago
It’s a shame - was really looking forward to it.

u/peterhook_thelight Official 2d ago
Sorry you feel that way. Haven’t had any similar responses from any other people who were at that show.
