Thank you very much for showing the photographs.
I like the idea of the 'posters' on the pavement ...

I just got home (I stayed overnight and had to catch a flight!). IT was a fantastic concert and a brilliant setting at Swann Hunter's Shipyard. I was frozen and my fingertips were so numb I couldn't feel my camera but it was worth it. I managed to get the same spot that I had in Trafalgar square, at the front leaning on the barrier.
Myself and a few of the fans I met with pulled up some of the posters on the pavements directing everyone to the venue. They are very 'sticky' but I plan to frame it.
Wallsend metro station was FULL of posters of the event but I stopped short of pinching one of those.
I looked behind a few times and there was a sea of thousands of people and the huge 'arches' displayed different shades of florescent lighting. Magical.

Very positive review in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle.

Evening Chronicle

The post mentions a few people leaving, but these were mainly people who had no clue what the event was all about, and were expecting PSB to play Go West and West End Girls.

Some random comments from the piece

It is startling stuff and the Pet Shop Boys' soundtrack fuses electro pop with full orchestrations fantastically.

One look around the packed yard showed everyone entranced by what was unfolding. You couldn't take your eyes off the screen and did not miss the lack of stage presence.

Battleship Potemkin is, in fact, gripping stuff, and Tennant and Lowe's new soundtrack equally so. The location could not have been more apt, the cranes and shipyard surroundings only adding to what, in the end, turned out to be a memorable night.

They should have performed I'm with stupid in the encore and said "this is our new single, I'm With Stupid, out next week"

Yes people did leave after 10mins but they like you said had No idea what it was about and the tickets where free.
Some people left half way through but it was Bloody cold some made a dash for the exit before the encore.
agent doris did you also take the posters off the pavement.
MissTrickyDisco has me on film going for food there is a lady in a light blue coat I'm just in front of her I have my big parker coat on.
Who was the guy that just had a shirt on near the front (nutter)and I spoted a lady in a Performance T-shirt or something like .
And there was a Jarvis Cocker look alike near the front.
A cold but Great Night...........
