I wonder if it will be a set list of songs that they haven’t performed at all.

Tonight is forever
I want a lover
Two divided by zero
A man could get arrested
Later tonight
Jack the lad
Hit music
I want to wake up
My October symphony
To face the truth
Miserablism
King’s Cross

The theatre
Forever in love
Up against it
Fugitive
The resurrectionist
The way it used to be
Bolshy
Fluorescent
The lost room
Undertow
An open mind
Will-o-the-wisp

In the night
Love is the law
Woof.

That'd be pretty much perfection tbh.

It kind of feels achievable too. It’s maybe a little long. And I guess an interval is unlikely.
Woof.

Maybe this is a subject for another thread but I don't think One thing leads to another is suitable for these days. At least with the original lyrics.

Will-o-the-wisp* (My absolute choice for the opener)
Pandemonium
Was That What It Was?
In The Night
The Boy Who Couldn't Keep His Clothes On
Tonight Is Forever
Bright Young Things
The Loving Kind*
Give It A Go*
I Want To Wake Up
Decadence*
A New Life
Do I Have To?
Positive Role Model
Burn
The End of the World
Why Don't We Live Together?

Encores:
King's Cross
We're The Pet Shop Boys
Up Against It*

*The songs I'd be most excited to hear live.

I think Neil would disagree. Didn't they do a live performance of this in the early days which didn't go so well?

If I remember correctly, Neil likes to open with a few unchallenging tracks to get his voice right first.

Retro. :)

Chris: "We did it on The Tube and it didn't work."
Neil: "That's why it wasn't a single. We got a real downer. It was the worst television appearance we ever did in our entire life. It was The Euro Tube. We opened the whole show with 'West End girls' and I had to sing live, and it was fine. We then had to wait two hours, during which time I drank four pints of beer, then I had to sing 'Tonight is forever'. You have never heard anything worse in your entire life. You know when someone sings on the television and you say, 'wow, she really can't sing'. This was my, 'wow, he really really can't sing'. And during the drum break in the middle I couldn't think of anything to do, so I just turned my back on the camera. I thought they could film Chris."

Think it was the four pints rather than not being able to sing it in general. They’ve since performed an excerpt on the Discovery tour, at the Salford 2012 concert, and the Teenage Cancer Trust show. It’s a favourite of Chris’s particularly.
Woof.

Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning. :|
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth.
