A smoke machine would be absolutely perfect for the Obscure theme. Imagine Miserere as the opener while Neil and Chris slowly emerge spotlit from a dense cloud of fog. Then straight into Love is the Law.

Now your talking!!!

Catch it like a cold
No one is immune

LOVE IS THE LAW
LOVE IS THE LAW
LOVE IS THE LAW
LOVE IS THE LAW

(Pet Shop Boys were _at_ one of those recent EBTG shows! You never know what could happen.

It would be a dream if they ever recorded together.

Always thought it was cool she covered "King's Cross". And that it even got a remix!

(Still sad we never got a Pet Shop mix of "No one knows we're dancing".))

I’m keeping my fingers crossed

How could they dislike 'A Certain...'? It's one of the best songs they've written in the last 25 years!

I know they wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing but it would be great if they asked us what songs we would love to see performed. They are never going to please all of us as there are so many songs and I tried to do a setlist and found it so difficult. I really hope Chris and Neil really enjoy these concerts and hope they consider doing a full on tour with perhaps songs being changed each night for the encore but this might not be possible with programming and visuals.

It’s just great after 40 years that there is a still big demand and they haven’t gone down the dumper. I do think there might either be a new b side competition released next year and new music later next year.

Burn, please.

I don't know if the fanbase will ever recover if they don't do Miserablism, I Get Excited and Bet She's Not Your Girlfriend.
