Anybody else getting ready for the gig in Budapest on Wednesday (6th)? Is this the last non-festival concert on the continent?
I'll probably scope around the arena quite early if anybody wants to join.
There are plenty of tickets left as far as I can see.

Last post

Hello! I just flew into Budapest for the concert tomorrow. Perhaps we could meet tomorrow! I'll send you a private message. If anyone else here is also going, please comment.

Sent you a message as well. I know of some local old fans getting ready to line up by the arena early.

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.

Mods: Delete if you disagree..!

Maybe this is a better placeto ask for it: Is there someone on this board who used a white or black frame for their Dreamworld Lithography and willing to share pics? I'm yet to decide what's the best colour to frame it. Thank you. :)

I recently attended the show they offered at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin and I was able to enjoy myself like a child with the Hot Experience VIP tickets.

Last post

I hope that at Wembley they have the same capacity for sound and lighting.

They use the same sound, visuals, and lighting rig in every venue. Hence, it's often a more impressive show in smaller venues, where the show really fills up the space.

What were the other stories behind the songs that he used as bantz on this tour?

As I just went to Cork and saw the Glasto coverage too where he just repeated what the inspiration was to Domino Dancing.

At the Bournemouth BIC we got the first song we ever wrote Jealousy line

Hi.

There are lots of PSB Vids (Fan vids or otherwise) on Youtube..

Thought there could be a unified thread of all the links :)

Let me start off with this one..

Mini-Pet Shop Boys Go West

Very cute (and the miming is perfect! Even Sylvia-Mason James'!! ) but are they the Future PSB?? :o

Last post

Music videos for Electronic have been remastered.
Getting Away With It (Original)
Disappointed
Getting Away With It (2nd version)

Technically not PSB but close enough.
By the way I hope Neil and Bernard perform something together during the Unity Tour this year. (Not to go off-topic!)

From an article published in the Sunday Times. If you have a free account, you can read three articles per month.

The new tour is a five-star hit; their most recent album was well-received; new music — possibly an EP with songs about modern fascism — will be incoming.

Last post

An EP acknowledging a changing world would be amazing. The landscape of self-centred music is rife, and they've always had topical songs from day one, beyond the me me me.

Honestly, there's so much meanness around these days, on different levels, it's actually weird the charts barely raise a...

Do the boys do any soundchecks on this tour? Soundchecks which one would be able to hear if it's an outdoor venue?

They definitely do. I recall during the last tour I could hear the soundcheck about two hours before the show.

I'm not going to get into the whole PSB vs Erasure thing but when you see PSB performing their greatest hits to such acclaim, including high-profile coverage like Glastonbury, it must really grate with them that they're not similarly beloved as national treasures. I'm obviously a Pethead but I...

I love these conflict rockumentaries, have not seen the a-ha one (but will go and see it) but Metallica’s Some Kind of Monster is great (and I do not like their music at all). Duran’s Three to get ready is also an interesting watch, albeit too much a “promo” documentary (even though the tensions...

Can't get this out of my head.

On the current tour, at the end of West End Girls, Chris uses both hands to play the last bass line.

I don't think he always did this but can't identify him playing it live on camera as its only the last bit I'm thinking of.

There is plenty of footage of him...

Last post

He always plays while reading the notes from his monitor in front of him. He is a trained musician so he will be able to change his lines easily, even after 40 years. I love it how he plays more live now compared to the early days. As much as I enjoy watching Performance, I really prefer the live...

Not the kind of article you’d usually expect in The Economist although I recall they have used PSB song titles within an unrelated in the articles before, so there are clearly some fans amongst the journalists.
