Surprisingly, Neil's vocals are spot on this time and that's not down to backing tracks, is it? Maybe there is a kind of live Autotuning or he had a lot of time for singing lessons while in lockdown. What do you think?

I’ve seen them live 10 times since 1989 and during the 90’s Neil did not sound that great live but from the fundamental tour his voice has got better each time. I’m not lucky enough to go to the electric ballroom on Friday and those of you are lucky enough will certainly be able to tell if there is any vocal trickery going on. Neil is sounding mighty fine at the moment. Just imagine if he put in a performance like rod stewart did recently at the Buckingham palace concert.

I have tickets for next week in Bilbao. Was trying to isolate myself from all the videos and pictures online but, finally, I surrendered and watched the Glastonbury broadcast... It looks amazing. Can't wait.

My gf, who is really into fashion and designer clothes, asked me who's the designer of their clothes for this tour. Maybe it's on the tour programme. Does anybody know? I found no word about it on the official site.

And I'm really jealous of you people from other parts of Europe who have experienced the full concert. Here in Spain it's all about festivals now instead on individual tour concerts, so they will likely perform the short version of the show... Damn! I'd kill to hear Single/Bilingual live.

I think PSB are getting used to performance in front of big audiences like they were rock starts.

The creative director Tom Scutt has a credit for costume design. Associate costume designer, styling and wardrobe is Frank Strachan. The jacket Chris wears at the beginning is Moncler I believe, the black badge has the same silhouette as the Moncler white logo

Triplicate post. What is going on? I’m getting more repetitive than Erasures recent output

That same thing happened to me with the Fundamental tour. I saw them at a festival and later when I saw other performances I realized that they did a reduced show in which there were songs that they did not sing.

Since then I have ruled out festivals and only large stadiums. In this Dreamworld I have been able to see them at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin and the experience is incomparable.

I would repeat without a doubt in another country.

It's obvious Pandemonium Tour changed everything. It's like everything was getting better since then.

Dunno whether or not Neil really improved that much on live singing but technology that aims at improving live vocals (correction, stability etc.) surely has and they will undoubtedly make use of it.

Yes, as much I’d like to believe that he improved his singing ovwr the uears, it’s just that: technology improved so much since autotune became availble and all pop singers use it.

I don't think Neil uses Autotune. You certainly used to be able to tell when an artist was using it, at certain low level tailing off type of singing you could hear a bit of obvious artifice to the sound (think Cher's voice in 'Believe' but at a far lower level).
Although no doubt the technology will have moved on, I sounds to me Neil is singing live. Does anyone know if he still goes to singing lessons? Not only to sound good, but also given the touring schedules PSB have, to protect his voice.
