A song which deserves its own church.

I, for one, like his voice. The gruffness and passion he sings with is genuine; he means the words he's singing.

Holy crap this is incredible. The choir, the venue, the energy, even Hooky’s voice. It’s just perfect

Hooky tells us to pray for a happy ending. I like to think it’s because Ian (Curtis) never got one, and that we should count our blessings in his memory.

This is the way song should be played. Hook is a rock n roll god and kept the spirit of Joy Division alive.

In the end, when he plays those last chords at 4:42 to 5:12... beautiful

The ending is extremely emotional. When Hooky just playing those simple notes again. Part of a massive important song. He has a moment to reflect himself. Hooky god bless mate wow.

The choir and Cathedral acoustics add a beautiful element to an already stupendously gorgeous song!

hooky has just as much right to do this song as anyone in Joy Division and New Order... and this is pretty good...

I have been watching anything I could get my hands on from Joy Division since 1983 and listening to all the odd releases my record shop in New Mexico could find. To see Peter Hook in this way is an emotional moment for me. Regardless of performance, to have a member of the original band on stage playing original songs may not be "pure" but it still has the ability to move me in ways their music only could. I am grateful to be in an age where I can bring this up in seconds on my PC and watch with excellent sound and video quality

This is a wonderful version of the song. The original is unbeatable and ians voice will never be replaced as thats unthinkable but at least hooky is passionate about playing the original songs from the band that started his career. respect to him. RIP Ian Curtis the lyrical god.

Such a great song through the ages. People will still listen to it in 2079. Great performance by Hooky, and that Choir is awesome.

"you know what I'm gonna pray for? A happy ending" :(

A piece of history, thanks Hooky

It's always those people who crap on a person's voice or sound, but in this particular sound, its cool to have a drolling, rough, deep feeling type voice to compliment the lyrics. Especially as u get older, u soak in it. Props to hooky and the light and to all of us who still enjoy this music. All the ones that don't get it... listen again and do your homework.

" And other time you like pray ? Now Its a good time to do it . Where you gonna pray for ? Nothing ll gave you´ve everything you need. And I ll gonna pray for a happy end. We should know all have a happy end ! " AMAZING !! God Bless You Peter Hook !!! IAN FOREVER !!

Compared to the " let's change the key of the original so Bernard can sing it but by by doing this, completely ruining the feel of the song" by far the better version. Don't get me wrong, you can do with your own songs whatever you want, but in this particular case, Peter Hook understands, better than the New Order cover version, where the emotion from this song comes from.

Absolutely magnificent, the backing singers add a fantastic touch coupled with being sot in black & white, well done Hooky, wish I could have been there to see this live

Hooky siempre recordando a Ian en cada concierto, es el mejor ex componente de Joy Division homenajeándole y un bajista magnífico. Su voz desgarradora y fuerte es la mejor para cantar estas canciones que nunca morirán. ¡Grande Hooky!

Raw and heavenly at the same time,love Hookeys vocals and well his Bass playing is another level.....!

epically beautiful!!!!!!! Probably Ian is smiling from above....

Amazing performance, often come back to listen again...the combination of the song, the black and white, the choir and setting...it's just magic for such a meaningful song. A shame so many City fans have to leave negative comments about Hooky.

sounds totally natural, the spirit the man was part of the creation of this song in the first place, he knows the song in a way only a creator can....obviously he & Ian have different voices.

Sounds WAY better than Barney at least, plus he's playing it in the original key unlike New Order.

Look, as retired drill instructor and punk drummer (briefly w/an iconic punk artist). I don’t typically cry. But the moment this started I almost burst into tears uncontrollably. I mean damn, Hooky! I just got emotionally punched in the face.

Beautiful. Good luck to all talented youngsters in disadvantaged areas.

This song gives me the goosebumps!! It’s perfect & Joy Division forever!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎶🖤🤗🔥🏆

The chorus makes this version angelical....forever Joy Division!!!

Great to see Hooky keeping the songs alive, fantastic atmoshphere

Immaculate version....wonderful!!!

this performance makes me cry

Brilliant Hooky- this is totally brilliant. Can wait for Boston. This is much better that the "New Order" version the others are touring with. Love the new choral backing -really awesome version

I wish this was on Spotify! I absolutely love this recording of Peter Hook and The Light performing LWTUAA

I went to a concert recently. And I saw this incredible bass playing guitar man with a great band. And I saw the light. I'm hooked now.

As a musician myself, it never ceases to amaze me the people who criticize artists and yet no doubt have never picked up an instrument or fronted a band , stepped onto a stage in front of thousands... But they think they know better....

So much energy

One of the most magical things I've ever heard. Good for you, Hooky.

Thanks Hooky just brilliant.

After all these years, this bass is killing me, thanx Peter!!!

well it gave me goosbumps :-)

Brilliant song, Great group, Orchestra brill Love to see them live.🔥👏😀👌😄❤

Peter I love what you have done. Joy Division has always been my all time favourite band! ♥️👍💋

I still cannot hear any cover of this song without getting a goosebumps.

total talent behind new order, him and ian talent behind joy division

It's just a miracle...as always when I hear this song

F***ing brilliant!!! Love the vocals!!! Manchester Blues...

Never saw an music video with such high contrast in black and whit.,Just fenomenaal, well done. Suits to the music very well.

Essa versão com Peter Hook é fantástica...excelente..ele estava com a gota serena..

Wow, what a brilliant version, you can feel the passion 👍👌

Love his voice, he gives real depth to the song.

Better live version than New Order has performed in years

God bless Ian Curtis whose memory lives on. Amen

very fortunate to see peter hook and the new light live. great artists

Love the octave, dark, fearful and hopeless. Very surreal!

Tremendous. Brilliant no-nonsense performance, lads. 👏

You know Ian had to be looking down, with pride...

I have been listening to joy division all my life, saw this fine man play in wellington NZ when he last was here, got so close I could smell him, but this version of LWTUA moved me to tears.

Absolute MAGIC!

dont see new order doing this with that much energy

Awesome! This is a special song!!!

Thanks for bringing great memories sir Peter Hook x

I cant thank him enough for cranking out the #joydivision classics like he does. I get to hear them in the beautiful present!

woww his voice is tuned really well with this song..Great!

Brilliant remember those times again 👊

That is beautiful hooky ☺😘😘

Had the distinct pleasure of seeing hooky in Dallas may22, 2018 and it was a fantastic show, started off by playing all of New Orders Substance album, then they took a break of about 10 minutes then proceeded to play all of Joy Divisions substance album. After the show we loitered outside us and about 60 other fans and he took the time to sign anything and take as many pics as we wanted and just hung out and didn't act the least bit of a star but instead as a humble man who understands his lucky and talented stars and that without us fans he wouldn't be able to do what he loves. And for that I will always love and admire Peter Hook, he connects with every day people on multiple levels

Bravo Bravo Beautiful don't give up, go go go go !

Outstanding 👏👏👏👏

remember he closed his set in Mexico City in 2023 with this song and blew my head off that I couldn't enjoy The Smashing Pumpkins afterwards

Saw mr hook in Whitby, absolutely amazing. Very emotional time too. RIP mr Curtis

I’ve seen Hooky twice in Portland and both shows were incredible. It’s time for another.

Best Cover of this song I've heard!

Hooky, living legend! Big fan from Brazil since 80´s (Joy Divison, New Order...) and counting!

Love this version, Hooky you legend 🙌🏻

peter hook, thanks for all the years. you are a great example of what passion is for musician. i wish you can become producer and be a mentor and produce album for new young groups in manchester.

What a start. awesome

Perfect!!!!!!!!!

This is great!!

Wow, Mal ne richtig geile interpretation des Liedes.......Daumen hoch

Love it, he's so cute with his addidas....so hooky

God, I hope Ian knows how many of us their music has touched. Especially decades after his passing. Joy Division has gotten me through some horrific times dealing with autoimmune diseases and not wanting to be here.

Beautiful

What a legend !

he sounds nick-cave-esque, quite enjoy it tbh

This is a kick ass version! Damn!

Great bloke. Great band.

My inspiration

Just ....wonderful thans all you dan say.

I like the way Peter says, "You know what I'm gonna pray for. A happy ending." (I can't stop thinking of Mrs Palmer and her five daughters when he says this.) Poor sod, he was flummoxed with that blokes answer so he had to think of something pretty fast onstage. Went to see him when he was in Syd 2019. Great concert and well put together with a full Orchestra. Brilliant, he is thinking outside the square.

beautiful choristers' background voices

Immortal song

Love it

Nice! Saludos desde Argentina

This breaks my heart wish ian was still here 🖤

Never knew Hooky played at the Cathedral. Wish i was there

Oh Hooky my dear friend.... if Ians watching from a bove he would be laughing his head off...lots of love bro Kitt...

Não consigo imaginar algo mais belo...

2nd best version ever 👍👍👍👍👍

La mejor canción de mi vida

Sublime
