Dreamworld: Spoilers

[le petit corbusier]

My gf, who is really into fashion and designer clothes, asked me who's the designer of their clothes for this tour. Maybe it's on the tour programme. Does anybody know? I found no word about it on the official site.

The creative director Tom Scutt has a credit for costume design. Associate costume designer, styling and wardrobe is Frank Strachan. The jacket Chris wears at the beginning is Moncler I believe, the black badge has the same silhouette as the Moncler white logo

Thanks a lot for answering, Flaffer! I'll let her know!

I have tickets for next week in Bilbao. Was trying to isolate myself from all the videos and pictures online but, finally, I surrendered and watched the Glastonbury broadcast... It looks amazing. Can't wait.

And I'm really jealous of you people from other parts of Europe who have experienced the full concert. Here in Spain it's all about festivals now instead on individual tour concerts, so they will likely perform the short version of the show... Damn! I'd kill to hear Single/Bilingual live.

That same thing happened to me with the Fundamental tour. I saw them at a festival and later when I saw other performances I realized that they did a reduced show in which there were songs that they did not sing.

Since then I have ruled out festivals and only large stadiums. In this Dreamworld I have been able to see them at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin and the experience is incomparable.

I would repeat without a doubt in another country.

Unfortunately, due to my job schedule this festival has been the only viable option for me so far this time.

Dunno whether or not Neil really improved that much on live singing but technology that aims at improving live vocals (correction, stability etc.) surely has and they will undoubtedly make use of it.

Yes, as much I’d like to believe that he improved his singing ovwr the uears, it’s just that: technology improved so much since autotune became availble and all pop singers use it.

I don't think Neil uses Autotune. You certainly used to be able to tell when an artist was using it, at certain low level tailing off type of singing you could hear a bit of obvious artifice to the sound (think Cher's voice in 'Believe' but at a far lower level).
Although no doubt the technology will have moved on, I sounds to me Neil is singing live. Does anyone know if he still goes to singing lessons? Not only to sound good, but also given the touring schedules PSB have, to protect his voice.

Trust me, they all do. Autotune is no longer the “Cher effect”. Mind you that was almost 25 years ago, even before mobile phones became available for normal people and internet was dial-in modems only (and smartphones would not see the light of day in another 10-12 years). AI and computer power have exploded extremely in the last 10 years.

He does sing live but his voice is almost certainly being processed.

As long as it sounds natural I do not mind TBH. And he probably has a vocal coach as well.

My view is that the vocals in Cork last week were less likely to be as "live" as Glastonbury. At Glastonbury all the vocals were definitely live and less perfect compared to Cork.

It's a minor matter to me as the overall experience is memorable and faultless.

Diana Ross at Glastonbury could have been doing with it. That was a shame

Pet Shop Boys are becoming rock starts in festivals. Take a look at how many people in the crowd they had in Grece. The place is quite big.

Definitely a lot of pitch correction in the vocals. The technology has gotten so good that it is pretty much unnoticeable though.

Festivals in the UK are just 5h1t aren't they! Want a festival? Go abroad. Cheaper, better weather, better facilities and cheaper food and drink once you're there.

PSB can even have a good period of summer holidays in Canary islands. They have a perfect schedule for that.

Double post.

Maybe this is a better placeto ask for it: Is there someone on this board who used a white or black frame for their Dreamworld Lithography and willing to share pics? I'm yet to decide what's the best colour to frame it. Thank you.
