Has anyone got a bootleg tape/cd of the barfly gig? If not does anyone know if it is going to get released? It would be amazing to hear the live version of 'Tonight is forever.'

Don't think, it would become an release someday. And there was also no minidisc recording done by fans this time...

what a shame, its great when the re-intepret old songs and that gig re-sequenced all the songs I beleive, 'it's a sin' was stripped down and sounds fascinating. A live cd one day perhaps. Would like to lobby Parlophone!

As I couldn´t make it to London by then, i´ve always wanted to hear that too. The setlist was superb!

I wish I could have been there. Tried....but failed. To hear the full-set in perfect quality would be great

as it was all from tape, (what WAS Chris doing for the duration?!) there is no doubt the boys themsleves have it all in perfect quality on hard-drive, which would make for a perfect live ep/album/b-sides (or extra tracks as I guess they're called these days). MUST ask them this question when the questions bit of their website is back up running.

Considering it is 2-3(?) years since this show occured, I doubt it will ever happen....

Don´t hope too much. It won´t be back as mentioned in latest Literally. You have to send questions to Literally´s Letters- pages.

I would love to see Questions section back.

Something like this if my memory serves me correct, only i had quite a large amount of drink: -

Try it (I'm in love with a married man)
Tonight is forever
We're the Pet Shop Boys
Jealousy
I'm not scared
Being boring
In private
Nervously
It's a sin
Love is a catastrophe

Medley:
Opportunities (Let's make lots of money)
Rent
Flamboyant
West End girls

Haha, unlike you to be a bit trollied Justin!

The gig was fab. I got there a little late, but it was indeed a very special performance.

Oh I've always been partial to the odd 1 or 2.

Look at that set list- their (new) version of 'in private' I'd love to hear, DEFINITELY an unusual choice to play, but good on them for doing so. I'm not that crazy about 'Love is a catastrophe', but was it very different? Being Boring (obviously) I love, how did that sound without the jj wah wah?

i recorded parts on my crappy video phone at the time but the pic quality was rather poor and the sound not very clever. I shared the videos to people at the time. Not sure which computer i saved them too now. But some people on here must have those ten or so mini videos I did.

Was anyone on this forum at the Camden Barfly gig in 2004? I’d love to hear your recollections (if not your secret recordings!)
