[DID NOT ATTEND: August 26, 2022] Peter Hook & the Light / El Ten Eleven
This was a show I hated to miss. Since I had blown off Pet Shop Boys & New Order earlier in the year, I figured at least I’d get to see Peter Hook do the songs (although this tour was largely Joy Division).
Plus I really wanted to see El Ten Eleven, a duo who plays amazingly complex songs using all kinds of pedals and other gadgets. In videos they are impressive to watch. I have really wanted to see them live.
This double bill was amazing. And I had gotten tickets for my wife and I as soon as they went on sale.
Then The Decemberists announced a show on the day before this. And Ben Folds rescheduled his show to the date after this. And my wife would rather see those two (both seated, thank you very much). And she wouldn’t do three nights out in a row. She probably wouldn’t have liked El Ten Eleven anyhow.
I’m not sure if Peter Hook will tour again, but I really want to see El Ten Eleven.
