Peter Hook and the Light are masters of their craft and had Emo’s dancing for almost three hours to the timeless songs off of Technique and Republic that are approaching 30 years old. Peter Hook is a master bassist and it is evident as they uncommonly (for most bands), had two bass guitars playing at the same time for several songs in perfect harmony. They faithfully played through both albums in their entirety with a short intermission between each and then ended with some classic fan favorite Joy Division and New Order Songs such as Transmission, Bizarre Love Triangle, and Love Will Tear Us Apart. It was a marathon of pure fun!
