[kj] Lists....always fun!

[GREG SLAWSON]

Makes me glad I saw P Hooke in Boston and skipped New Order (who I haven't seen since 84 or so). The Light put on a very strong 2 HR 45 min set (despite Hookeys iffy vocal control).

Seeing live footage of them from Maida Vale for 6 Music as well as on youtube they have somehow become dad rock and the worst tribute act to New Order.   I was embarrassed to hear one of my favourite songs 'Lonesome Tonight' bastardised in their live set.
