Peter Hook has been on tour with his band The Light playing classic Joy Division records Unknown Pleasures and Closer. A few weeks ago the tour was in New York and Moby joined Hooky on stage for the encore. Last night the tour was in Chicago and hours before word leaked that Billy Corgan would be joining Hooky on stage for a couple of songs. Check out Corgan belting out "Transmission" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart."
Another highlight of the show was "Ceremony" which you can watch here.
Peter Hook & The Light continue on the road for the tour, and there won't be a Detroit date. But if it DID stop in Detroit, who would Hooky invite onstage for the encore? Jack White isn't in town, plus he's currently out of his mind (seriously, Jack, ICP???). Iggy Pop isn't in town but he would have been an awesome choice. Other huge Detroit names like Kid Rock, Eminem, or Aretha would be a trainwreck (though I'd pay huge money to see Aretha attempt it). Maybe Windsor's Daniel Victor from Neverending White Lights or the guys from Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr? Ah well, a Detroit show is not gonna happen anyway, but fun food for thought...
