With the tour fast approaching, people will be keen to share their experiences and discuss any new snippets of information. I’m sure there’ll be forum members that don’t want to see or hear “spoilers”. Let’s use this space so people can have the choice.

Went to see the boys in Amsterdam yesterday and it was really a terrific show, euphoric and moving. Neil was in good voice and seemed to be enjoying himself thoroughly.

I thought the setlist was pretty much perfect. Actually, with this choice of singles, I thought the setlist was less predictable...

Hi peeps,

I am visiting London next week and would like to see the famous electronic show where Neil and Chris met up in 1981. If it still does exists and some people knows where it's situated, I would like to know. Thanks x

1992. The Love album is thirty years old this week. Carter were described as “The Indie Pet Shop Boys” and indeed covered “Rent” as a B-Side to their “Rubbish” single

Later covered (acoustically) by Kylie on her DeConstruction “Hits+” compilation.

I sent mine to Neil in 2003 as he stated in one Literally, that he don´t have it in his collection.
Got the address from Mitch Clarks office from Redman (the website admin). Mitch replied by E-Mail that Neil was very happy to get it.
So one little piece of my former collection is in Neils home. :)

Dear all.
I’m selling tickets to two PSB shows - one in Birmingham and one in London.
Due to a terrible war and injustice my country -Russia - inflicted on Ukraine I will not be able to fly abroad and attend.
I bought tickets in 2019 from Moscow and waited for 2 years to see Dreamworld tour.
Alas,...

So, sorry to hear this Mayorova. (((hugs))) That is nice you are going to give the money to an important charity. Thinking of you.

It's on Youtube section but I've included here.

Really fun to see. Looks like these girls wanted something more with PSB than just watching them live, playing music. The host is quite touching with Neil and Chris. :lol:

Greetings Steve,

Good video.

I bought 'Very Relentless', and in recent years I feel like I somehow missed out by not buying the standard CD.

You can still find them about second-hand... the challenge is to find one whose orange spindles have not broken.

Does anyone have a definitive list of all the 7 / 12 singles that have double sleeves?

I only just discovered today that the Domino Dancing 7 also comes in a double sleeve, so wondering if there's others I'm not aware of.

Ich habe mir die offizielle PSB Website angesehen und da ist nichts... Langeweile, Stille, Armut

War jemand da und kann er sagen, ob es einen Laden gibt?

Was gibt es zu kaufen?

T-Shirts, welche Farben, wie viele Designs, zu welchem Preis?

was sonst noch...

There is a picture n the 'Dreamworld Spoilers' thread in the main forum of the selection at the first show. Nothing too inspiring unfortunately. And no programme as yet.

Nothing about this looked right, other than the fact that it was on a fair dinkum Aussie website. They'd never do something like this as they have too much respect for the original product.

Hi

Just wondering if anyone that bought tickets for the Cardiff Dreamworld show through AXS way back when they went on sale first has received their tickets yet?

These ones don't seem to be available through the app or to print online for some reason and seem to be tickets that will be posted...

Last post

Anywhoo, was onto their live chat the next morning and they said that they've yet to receive any information from the promoters about the tickets and to get back in touch closer to the date if I still haven't received them.

About an hour later, the tickets turn up in my email lol. So panic over!

Just discovered how the 10'' mix of It's alright ends with the birds on the seaside -sound, the same sound as the beginning of Go West (album version). So those two songs segues perfectly into eachother... a nice pair.
Two great songs about love, freedom and peace and the power of music.
