Obscure SPOILER thread - set lists, reviews etc

[TwizzleUK]

Was 'Through You' a shorter version? Surely not the extended mix?

[wieske]

No special guests tonight. Tonight was a way much better gig than yesterday in my opinion. Just my feeling. Stronger setlist? Less stress for Neil? Better audience? Still sorting out...

[petshopgrrl]

So it looks like Monday night’s exclusive songs were
Do I have to?
Happiness is an option
New boy

And Tuesday night’s exclusive songs
Through you
It couldn’t happen here
Bet she’s not your girlfriend

Through you - interesting choice! That one always sounds to me like it starts off Gary Numan (Down in the park) and ends up as Jon Anderson’s Yes.

Very jelly of you all getting ICHH AND BSNYG. Must… find… video!

And Euroboy as the walk-out - am I detecting a Boy theme here? What do they enter to tomorrow? The boy who couldn’t keep his clothes on? New London boy? WE’RE THE PET SHOP BOYS?? (No, that would be Friday…)

Thank you for all the amazing reviews, the analysis, photos and video!!

15. BET SHE'S NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND

The envy!!!

Yep. Blimey.

Wow! Lucky you Tuesday people!

[Gabby]

Dang, BSNYG?!

Yup even without a special guest Tuesday's gig sounds great. Wished I'd been there.

Jealous about BSNYG

Wish WISH they added a few newer B sides last night which in my humble opinion have been some of the best B sides they’ve ever released
The Dark End of the Street
Beauty Has Laid Seige to the City
It’s Not a Crime
I’ve Got Plans

[TheGardner]

Any special guests tonight?

No... sadly not

[TheGardner]

Was 'Through You' a shorter version? Surely not the extended mix?

Yes

[minimal]

I'm sorry, but the songs are better without SMJ. She puts too much into them, but the songs don't benefit. The setlist had a better flow today. The crowd was great.

Can someone upload Always and Love is the law? No one has uploaded them, and they haven't been performed live yet.

You can find them in this video. Unfortunately, a bit too much talking.

At this rate the Boys won't need to release a DVD/BluRay of Obscure live because we'll be able to cobble one together with all the YouTube uploads.

FWIW I didn't take any video...a few photos but tried to stay "in the moment" so to speak.

Decent concert well worth the money, but I agree with others on the overcrowding. Although the boys hit the stage 8.30, don’t turn up 7.45 like I did. You’re so far at the back, you can’t see a thing. That was last night.

Loved the set, but would have preferred a couple more high energy obscure tracks.

[E-Mail Vampire]

I was a little perturbed by how many people I saw leaving when they played I Dream of a Better Tomorrow.
Call yourself a fan but don't stick around for a brand new unheard song?!

I got a feeling not everyone was there for the right reasons.

It may have happened regardless of the song. People may have needed to head off at a certain time to travel back home for commitments in the morning. I know my other half normally always wants to leave a show as the encore starts to avoid the crowd/rush exiting.
