Obscure SPOILER thread - set lists, reviews etc

[AtomicJubilation]

I had a GREAT time on Monday but if they did something like this again I don’t think I’d go. I have m.e so it’s a tiring day with travel and lots of standing and there’s too much fomo with the changing setlist. There were 6 or 7 of my most wanted songs played across the nights I didn’t attend!

And the boys entered on stage right when Robbie sang the chorus of "We're The Pet Shop Boys"
This level of details is insane

The best setlist of all. Can't believe they performed New Boy the other nights instead of Miserablism. And Requiem makes more sense as the closer before the encore. Really good!

Totally agree, several my fav cut off, but best setlist of the 5 nights and finally Sylvia is back!

wow..missed "miserabilism" too, wich was my favourite...three nights waiting for it, but well, I hope it will surface on youtube soon!

It was the absolute highlight of the show for me. And it got the most enthusiastic response of the night. A shame they didn’t play it before!

Shame I missed Miserablism, but pleased I saw I didn’t get where I am today.

Tonight was amazing. The energy, the boys were relaxed, the setlist was great, Sylvia was there... Just amazing.
My only criticism is that there were so many grumpy PSB fans there tonight who obviously had no concept of how standing works at a gig ("This is my space and you've just squeezed in next to me. Don't bump into me" Jesus! F*ck off and dance!) Also quite a few bored partners of fans obviously being forced to stand through it (what a waste of tickets which could have gone to real fans).
Anyway - not letting that spoil my high right now. I feel very lucky that I was there Wednesday and tonight. These have been two very special nights - and a privilege to spend such intimate and relaxed time with the boys performing their and our favourites, and fellow Petheads without the naff Dreamworld crowd.

Amen to that

Thank you for that link/video!! One of my favorite songs. Neil looks very relaxed.

I hope the Boys view these shows as a success and consider doing them again next year. What a special week!

OK, did I call this or what?

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…)

Heyyyy, us naff Dreamworld crowders are underwriting this indulgent little side quest, thank you! I only get one show a year if I'm lucky (and I'm luckier than most for that) and this year it's gonna be Lytham. But I'm vicariously thrilled for everyone who got to go this week because for the most part it sounds as though everyone had an amazing time. Not bad for the Grumpiest Fans in Pop.

Surely, each night will live long in the memories. I wouldn't swap Monday, for the world..

How come there's no video from yesterday? Doesn't anyone care about Mark Refoy?

I just got back from London. I filmed the whole show on thursday and I'm in the process of uploading the videos but I just discovered Youtube put a limit on the number of uploads per 24 hours when you're a newbie.

Here is the (yet) incomplete playlist for Obscure night #4 with Mark Refoy : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvQwwEz ... _pVrdb-hSt

I'll upload the rest of the videos (the first 2 and the last 10 of the set) once Youtube allow me too (so in about 24 hours!)

PS It's the first time I upload anything to Youtube so please don't be too arsh if you don't find it good enough

Well... the final night was the only performance I attended and my goodness... what an honour it was! I even got the variation of the setlist I hoped I would. Bet She's Not Your Girlfriend was so high up on my wish list because it meant a lot to me at the time.

But then we also got Miserablism. There's a YouTube video up there but I don't think it quite reflects how they changed it from the minimal piece of analogue synth wizardry it originally was into something of a banger! You can't quite hear it on the video but the chorus was LOUD and the audience went wild for it!

And don't get me started on In My Imagination...
