Like others have said you go to see PSB, more so than with other acts, to watch the whole show.
I love the PSB live and think that's were you actually should experience them these days. However, with a one-off concert like this it's very different - and what "show" are you talking about? There's a reason this was broadcast in radio and not filmed you know - don't get it mixed up with their tours.

So looking forward to Electric.

One of my fav bits was Neil introducing Johnny Marr, from Electronic! Makes a nice change from the smiths, which everyone knows anyway!

Listening back, i think this concert, should it ever be made available to buy, could do with a mix. In some areas the violins are quite quiet and the choir could be bought up to the front more.
is is and isnt isnt

Because he's a fan like the rest of us. We critique to our hearts content whether we're a fan of the artist or not. We're not full of nice things to see everytime.

Are you mixing me up with somebody else? I'm the one defending Neil in this thread and you think I'm the troll? Somebody's been on the Christmas sherry early...

Well, for the record, I doubt he was talking about you. Call it a hunch.

Furthermore, even I don't think you were trolling. You were making a subjective point - repeatedly and in your own inimitably irritating fashion, but trolling? No.

The reason people listen to live albums is to feel the vibe of a night out... and a room full of people enthusiastically cheering on your heros!

Releasing a REMIX album with an orchestra would be fab too!

Great show!

Left To My Own Devices was conspicuously missing ... being the #1 orchestra anthem!

But I'm glad... it made a nice change.

I agree. As much as I love Left to my own devices, I'm glad they didn't do it. It would've been too obvious.

And anyway, Neil can't sing it.... and sounds naff in the spoken parts.

They probably made a conscious decision not to do songs that were done on Concrete. I think the only overlap was West End girls, as far as I can remember.

I would love a new orchestral version of Left To My Own Devices adding new sounds to the original song.
