From the
OS:
20 September 2006
The name of the PSB live album has changed.
The double-CD of PSB's Mermaid Theatre concert is now called "Concrete" and will be released on October 23. "Concrete" was Neil and Chris's original title which they changed to the more explanatory "Concert" but at the last minute decided they preferred the original title. The music stays the same, however: the complete concert featuring guest appearances by Robbie Williams, Frances Barber and Rufus Wainwright.
Like Vince said, now that's a PSB album title!

Very strange... I'd like to know the logic behind the choice.

I actually prefer this title over 'Concert'.

Is it a deliberate (near) anagram? Concert/concrete

I'd rather it was Orchestral

I hope the CD case is not made of concrete

I did think it was a little odd that online music stores such as HMV Japan had the title listed as Concrete last week. They couldn't all have made the same typo!

I felt the same way when I saw the listing on Sirendisc ... ya know , it must've been 4:20 when they typed that one ....
Anywho ... it seems odd. I guess it's just another of those PSB single-entendres.

"Concert" is strange name for PSB release, to much primitive in my opinion (please, don't remind me about Perfomance, Single and Release...) and not suitable well for description of his wonderful content. Yet i didn't get what "Concrete" here means , to be honest. Only if a friend is right:

Even if so, that is really good: we don't need to beware of left our finger-prints on his case.

Could you give us a link, please? There will be some extras on it?

At least we have something concrete regarding the release date of the concert....*boom tisk*
or you could ask your local record shop Can I have the Pet Shop Boys in Concrete?
I'll stop now...must be these Honey Nut Shredded Wheat I've had for breakfast this morning
Strange name really....I saw it listed on Amazon last night and thought WTF!?
Soft as Concrete?

Midnight Oil had a song called "Concrete" on their 1998 album Redneck Wonderland , but where that album - and the song in particular - was "hard as concrete", you can't really call Pet Shop Boys' music [so] hard... I wonder where they got that title from?
