Belolo died in 2019. Could be an issue with his heirs.

The setlist is correct. They have included The Pop Kids with images of the Funkos on the move. Very funny. However, they took Go West off the setlist. I was able to see them again yesterday in Seville and it was almost 2 hours. As an anecdote, Neil's mention of the heat was in the heat. They really put on a great show.

That's really cute.

It's clever because Pop Vinyls are often referred to as "pops".
So pop kids has a new meaning, maybe it's about people who collect Pops!

It's interesting they're still making changes to the setlist. It's good to see, in a way.

Whatever the reason is, I hope it will be fixed soon.
A PSB show without Go West, it's like a meal without cheese!

Of course, they are British people. They go to Spain for summer holidays,

...drinking bleeding Watneys Red Barrel and singing TORREMOLINOS! TORREMOLINOS! #oldpythonjoke

Was just watching that one the other day

Oh...is that where Soft Cell got it from? Memorabilia

I actually like the funko pops change - looks good.

Any new merch?

Yes. The staging of The Pop Kids was a lot of fun because the screening of the dolls is lively. Quite a success. It's true that Go West was missed, but The Pop Kids was a fresh air. Of all the times I've attended Dreamland in different countries, the new ones for me were The Pop Kids, A New Bohemian and Dancing Stars. There's nothing new about merchandising.

It would be difficult to fit all the tour dates on one t-shirt now................................

This is a sample of what The Pop Kids' performance looked like. It was really nice.

I dunno? I think Torremolinos was a favored destination for a certain British tourist stereotype so they were both probably taking the piss out of it that way.

As a PSB Funko Pop owner, I think the new staging looks kinda cute! They missed an opportunity to add them to the merch stand.

I see the live Pop Kids got some fresh tinsel too?

Because setlist.fm always insists that covers lead to the first released version. In case of Always On My Mind leads from PSB (1987) to Willie Nelson (1982) to Elvis (Oct. 1972) to Gwen McCrae. The latter was released as You Were Always On My Mind in June 1972.
