age of consent´s riff is great. so does sunrise´s. the ending of tpk! from the latest i loved the ones on crystal (my heart beats harder on that one), close range and player in the league.
Best Hooky bass moment - has to be Leave Me Alone at Gloucester 1984. He was playing it on the wrong string, realised and then completely lost the plot, and it was at least a minute into the song before anyone realised what the song was, including the rest of the band ! I'll try to stick it up online later today.
Must hear that, Benny! 
Perfect Kiss is the first one I noticed, way back when. Crystal. Age of Consent. Sunrise. LWTUA. She's Lost Control. BLT. All great. Regret. True Faith. As It Is When It Was...
And we're doing This Time of Night for the Community thing.
THE best has to be Hooky doing Age Of Consent at Brixton Academy 12-10-01 when the rest of the band buggered off stage for a rest before the encore, Hooky stayed on for about 2 minutes and delighted everyone with the AOC Riff.
I love the "rolling" bass on Face Up and YSF as well.
As much as I disliked Republic, I do really like the Hooky Solo in Regret towards the end of the song before barny sing the chorus for the last time.

A memorable moment of New Order history and I was lucky enough to be there. On the other hand, I didn't know any of the onliners that attended the same gig so I'm not sure if I'm that lucky.
Another Ricardo offer here. ;)

Excellent choice. You beat me to it. Reckon that portion is technically a "middle eight", can any musos confirm? Defineately Hooky's finest moment though in my opinion.
Also love the completely different ending he plays to Regret when they do it live, much preferable to the recorded version.
As mentioned earlier, the version of Leave Me Alone at Gloucester has to be one of Hooky's finest moments. Here, for your delectation, was the offending bit !!

What a classic cock up, Hooky said in an interview that he likes to throw in a few bum notes to keep the punters on their toes.

Agreed, joint first with the Dreams Never End solo at the end of the encore on the same night. Quality.

Was that done in the dark or did the fella with the camera just miss it.
Well, just to be different, I'm gonna go with the "classic" Blue Monday. Great Hooky bass in that. Also love the solo proper in AOC.
so many classic hooky moments.. sunrise at the hacienda tpk...kick off at leeds tiffs aoc at sheff uni
but my fav mem is the encore at sheff roxy (do the ostrich )...it was about 2 in the morning and he stayed on stage on his own thrashing away whilst the rest of the gang were supping tea in the changing rooms!!

What about the dogs, their favorite Hooky moment?
As someone who was NOT lucky enough to experience any of these moments, thanks Benny and Ricardo!

You'll have to unzip it before you can play it.
If anyone wants this, hurry up, because I'm taking it offline at about 6pm GMT tonight.
the brixton solo was a brilliant moment, but i've always had a soft spot for the bass on the album version of subculture!
Granted, I wasn't there, but I'm still hoping that one day I'll find a tape of this:
(from Mark Johnson's book, p. 43) "The Factory I, Manchester (Friday, 28 Sep 79) (...) The gig was (...) marred by some violence when Peter jumped off the stage with his bass during the encore in pursuit of one of four or five bullies who were hassling the audience and climbing onto the stage. The amplified sound of Peter's bass hitting one of the tormentors blasted through The Factory, and the bassist finally caught up with him near the cloakroom. Peter, no doubt disgusted by the entire episode, came back to the stage long enough to put his bass away, then sat at a table while the band carried on."
Way to go, Hooky!
I'm going to be boring and go with Blue Monday. The bass on that drives me insane every time!

Something more about this
John Nic was there: "I remember Pete Hook Jumping off the stage wielding his bass like a giant Sledge Hammer, as far as I could tell he didn't actually make contact with anyone, but his bass did hit the floor snapping the neck of the Rickenbacker in two, not surprisingly it was never seen again.
800 people squeezed into the Russel Club to watch Joy Division's final gig at the venue before it shut down, for the first time anyway.
Ian had an epileptic seizure just before they went on stage but he carried on and gave an excellent performance despite being badly shaken by the experience.
There was some violence - caused by a group of resident Skinheads who often caused trouble at concerts especially the bigger ones where there were lots of strangers. Peter Hook left the stage during the encore to sort them out ...
let's go (instrumental) and BLT (brotherhood) are both extraordinary. she's lost control comes in as a close runner-up. they are all pretty obvious choices, but that's because they are so fabulously, obviously, brilliantly hooky!
Hooky's bass on the live version of "Temptation" on the "Taras Shevchenko" video still sends chills down my spine.
