Anyone any idea what this will entail?

[Luke Colorado]

I cant see them performing virtually, but it would be amazing if they did something a la You only tell me you love me when you're drunk from Nightlife Tour.

[Suburban_Boy]

Yeah, was wondering the same. Something pre-recorded I guess, it does start streaming from 1AM UK time. Maybe something like the XFM session tracks...?

[tottenhammattspurs]

Bet it’s just a showing of Go West from the Pandemonium tour.

[fluffmoln]

Nah, it'll be Devices from the '89 tour, really showing what they're up to these days.

[TwizzleUK]

Be nice if it was a preview of one or two of the 'Dreamworld' live arrangements we've yet to hear due to the tour being postponed.

Smithsonian Project Pride playlist on Spotify indicates that the boys could perform Will-o-the-wisp and/or Dreamland but West End girls wins:

They did a great lockdown version of West End Girls!

[Paulo]

How good was the new version of West End girls? Awesome!!

[Gabby]

That was a great updated version. Glad I tuned in for that! Loved Chris' chair slide away from the desk at the end! Lol.

[Luke Colorado]

Ugh...any song but West End girls.

Thanks for the link. I hope they put the whole thing on YouTube again. I had forgotten about it and only watched the last 30 minutes.
