I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...
Hi all,
Does someone know if PSB will came in Italy with Pandemonium Tour?
Neil said in Italian TV that would be in Italy in autumn.... but for now nothing.... :(
Thank you! ;)

It's sad that Italy will not give them the space they deserve ...
I purchased tickets during the fan sale assuming that more of my friends would be able to attend. Most have backed out and I am left with two tickets for 9/1/09 and two tickets for 9/2/09. If anyone is interested, e-mail me at joeyj2ee@aol.com. I have the 9/1 tickets on StubHub right now...
Good week for PSB in the New York press (and we know why of course...). Besides that nice article in THE NEW YORKER which is in the Pet Texts thread, there are a couple of references in NEW YORK MAGAZINE as well.
It's the Fall Preview issue, and early on they have a big calendar, and each day has...

Tennant and Lowe are part of a great tradition of slipping intense emotions into an envelope of wit that runs straight from Oscar Wilde to Noel Coward to the Boys .

I have 3 tickets available for the Atlanta concert - 9/12/2009. I'm still attending the concert but sitting in other seats that came my way via another source after I purchased the tickets below.
NOTE: These are fan club tickets and were purchased during the fan club pre-sale.
I received an email from Concertmaps on July 23 - the company who handled the advance tickets for the PSB shows - and they stated that my tickets have been printed and mailed. They have not arrived yet. My tickets are for the Greek in LA. Anyone get theirs yet?

The guys at the ticket office said that the meet and greet is BEFORE the show...
BEFORE the show?!
Really???
Interesting.
I guess Chris will have to take his pre-show nap a bit earlier then. :shhh:
It's strange that the boys aren't playing any dates in Texas at all. They Usually play Dallas and Houston, and on Fundy they played Austin. May not be able to see them at all this time unless I can make it to LV or something. :-(

Is the CTH production in Dallas anything to do with PSB, beyond them having originally co-written it? There is also a production of CTH in Brighton this year and I don't believe it has any official connection to the Pets.
Hey, so I pestered LiveNation and Ticketmaster and the $5 Citi promotion is now being honored for the NYC shows. Go to Ticketmaster to buy the tickets (I bought a few for Tuesday). I know Wednesday still had some available as of this morning...
Good luck!!!

How great I lined your wallet, what a trashy way to say so.
Need a concert buddy for the 9/2 show at Hammerstein Ballroom. I have reserved seats in the mezzanine. Looking for a PSB fan in my generation (35+), pleasant demeanor, and all-around nice gal. I’m pretty much the same, except I’m a guy. Drop me a line at jscomm@nyc.rr.com if interested.
Alright, I decided to pop for the VIP treatment. So, it's my first Meet & Greet. I'm assuming that I might get a chance to say something more to N&C than Hi. Love the new album. while I'm there.
But __ What in the world do Neil, Chris & I have to talk about when we meet & greet?
I'm told I'm...

Goodness .... I'm rather pleased to still some interest in this thread. And also glad to get a few more tips. I do suppose that since I've bought an Opening Night ticket to the US Premiere of Closer to Heaven in Dallas, Oct 2010, I might be able to ask Neil about his thoughts on the show, etc....
The Ticketmaster website has the option of selecting tickets for both shows at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York for $8, if you have a code for the LN Friends & Family Promotion
I'm guessing LN = Live Nation but apart from that I can't figure out what this is?
Any ideas?
I'm going to the...

According to Live Nation it is for companies with special arrangments for their employees. All tickets are general admission, so any price works for me. Right now there is a $5 promo running for Citibank card holders (you're welcome -- I pestered them to honor the LiveNation $5 promo they were...
Obviously they won't be wearing little boots (personally I would hazzard a guess at Chris in trainers and Neil in fancy shoes 8) ) but apparently, PSB will be doing a short set with Little Boots at 'Matter', the club at the O2 venue.
PSB and Little Boots will be headlining the 'SMIRNOFF: U.R. THE...

This made me laugh, 'cause I know exactly what you're talking about. :lol:
Thanks territorygal, glad you recognize the metaphor.
So from what I've seen from some of the tour footage Chris' live setup is a Korg 88key Triton Studio(with accompanying Apple Monitor to view softsynths he's controlling) as his main Keyboard, a couple of drum pad triggers on his left, a Moog Minimoog to his right and a synth underneath that used...
Last post
the Korg keyboard this time around is actually a Korg M3 with Radius board. :)
Really, I can't tell from Neils' Twitter photo but it would make sense as the M3 is all the rage these days.
only reason i know this is because Pete G. told me. :D
You know this new tour tracker thing, right? Is it only me or does anyone else find it amusing that they want photos from the gigs posting on it, when they tell you no photos are allowed at the gigs (not that it makes any difference to the sea of mobile phones and cameras held aloft in the crowd).
Last post
I don't know what the tour tracker thing is, but I agree it sounds a bit... contradictory. But that is very PSB I guess!
Hope none of the three thousand speed cameras between Suffolk and St Pancras were switched on this morning. Cutting it fine doesn't come close.

Sorry Max, it was just a flip comment to make me feel better about being there for so little time, and I certainly didn't mean to dissmiss the rest of the festival. I went armed with high expectations and a list of things/people I wanted to see, and only missed them due to a work delayed start and...

Just wanted to let you all know that tickets for the forth coming production of closer to heaven have gone on sale today!

yesterday afternoon they arrived here, and just a few hours later, they had a press conference.
They didn't wait for a question before mentioning how hot is (although Chris wore a long sleeved sweatshirt). nothing new has been revieled there, AND they were realy nice and calm (even when someone...

Of those of us who have been to the amazing Pandemonium dates in Manchester and London (I've probably unwittingly met some of you!) can anyone tell me what the warm-up music is?

Last night (Stockholm) some fans and forummember ruined me and other fans to get N+C autographs. The concert was great as earlier concerts reviews.

Am I the only one going to Roskilde tomorrow?
Now that you can buy one-day tickets, I would have thought many more fans were going.
Last post
Reading this thread now after finding out they will be playing at Virginfestival in Ontario... so at Roskilde they DID play the FULL show (minus Love Comes Quickly)??
I do assume Roskilde is comparable with Virginfestival? Yes, full show minus Love comes quickly.
According to live nation there was no problems with the sound at the o2 and no one complained!!!

I read a lot of tweets at the time complaining about the sound. (eg: It was like listening to it thru my car speakers whilst I'm in my house )
I was at the side, about 3/4 back and I could hear people talking all around me.
I sneaked down to nearer the front and could see a huge rig of speakers...
Great night in Liverpool. Same set, so no surprises there. The sound was brilliant... Maybe the best I've heard them in 20 shows. The arena was screened off half way, which I suspect would always have been the plan... Good atmosphere at the front... Crowd seemed to love it. This show really is them...
Last post
I was stood at the front where Chris was and felt that the crowd were really disappointing apart from those stood up in the seating area to the left of the stage. This was in stark contrast to Manchester where the crowd seemed a lot more up for it. I still feel there are problems with the sound but...
Just announced by CL on Twitter than a DVD will be filmed of the tour, possibly at the December O2 concert.

Was there really that much to film apart from Neil and his trusty guitar?
I love a lot re-arragments of that tour: above all Love comes quickly: superb!
Has anyone received theirs yet from ticketmaster. I haven't :?
Making a weekend of that one so will be leaving on the Friday afternoon :?

Right at the front of the barrier infront of chris's keyboards! Very quiet people wise,hardly anybody in the venue,very strange! Report back at full time
When I say the public reaction I mean which one of the potential third single was the most acclaimed or applauded by the public in live shows and maybe and because of that the best option for single.
Last post
All Over The World wins based on the Manchester Apollo reaction!
The same for O2 reaction.
I've got two tracks from the live radio broadcast at Roskilde Festival. Did you see me coming and Pandemonium/Can you forgive her + a short interview with the guys!
If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll fix you up with a link!
I'm just back from the show at the Palladium in Cologne. Unfortunately I've got no photos to share, and since the setlist, stage setup etc. were identical to the previous shows, I'll just give my personal opinion of the evening.
The opening act, whose name I still don't know, since the singer...

Does anyone have one spare ticket for the O2 thing on Friday that I could have? (preferably not for sale) I requested 3 tickets, but was only sent 2, and myself and my two friends have already made arrangements, booked travel, etc.
Thanks,

Yes Dave, I have a free spare you could have as I won four tickets! ;O)
I think Go West was better but I understand they want to change the order of the songs (including Go West) but I don't know I think it would be better to finnish the concert with a high-energy and classic PSB song but there are no many options.

It leaves you in a bit of a we need more, we need more, we need more -mood.
If you could choose the set list of 20 tracks for the PSB, what would they be, here's mine:-
1. Love Comes Quickly (My personal fav, so would have to open with it)
2. All Over The World
3. Did You See Me Coming
4. I'm Not Scared
5. 2 Divided By Zero
6. Tonight is Forever
7. Discoteca
8. One More...

The Pandemonium tour is fantastic in the respect that it has no backing singers as such that can often dilute and muddy the PSB canon, so it's great to almost go back to basics and glimpse that vintage sound.
With that in mind, I would love to see a concert of that touches on the dark and...
