PlayLouder just put up a live review from PSB's performance at Brixton Academy. Check it out here: http://www.playlouder.com/feature/950petshopboys/ Here's an review by Alistair (thanks!) Any doubts about the Scottish audience from Glasgows Nightlife tour must been put to bed after last nights Edinburgh rousing performance. Within seconds of the opening bars of Home and Dry the fully seated Playhouse theatre were on their feet dancing and thats the way it stayed until the end. Neil whippd the crowd up into a frenzy declaring they were Edinburgh virgins and that the audience were clearly enjoying themselves. They effortlessy glided through the old and new favourites. New single I Get Along was raptuously received alongside stripped down versions of West End Girls, Go West (with the audience filling in the missing bits) and the uptempo Love Comes Quickly and A Red Letter Day firm favourites. Chris sat a few feet from me (front row seating) and despite numerous requests refused to give a performance of Paninaro he refused. Finishing the set with Go West they walked off from the minimal set but the crowd got them back for not one but 2 encores and the night finished with Here. They promised to return and the crowd departed after enjoying the show.

'I get along' hits the streets today. Be shure to buy your copy today :-) Here's a review of the concert in Newcastle yesterday by Paul Rymer: The band did not use the entire stage set, instead they used the Newcastle City Hall pipe organ and wood pannelled walls. This looked very impressive indeed. It looks like a set from Phantom Of The Opera. At about 6.30pm from outside the venue you could hear the organ being played and I wondered if it would be actually used in the show. It was. At the beginning of 'It's a Sin' Chris climbed up onto the organ and played the intro to the song. Then he had to quickly scamper down to his regular keyboards for the rest of the number. Looked like he nearly tripped - he was definitely having to move pretty fast. They played one extra encore - 'Home'. The crowd were pretty rowdy.

I've added new pics to the pics section - check the 'different' pics section.
