I may be wrong, but outside of festivals the main PSB audience demographic seems to be relatively homogenous, middle-class, middle-aged, mono-ethnic. They're all really nice though.

The real success of PSB these last 2 decades were the festivals. PSB could have been forgotten for the big public long time ago but they are not. Festivals have made them still relevant.

As much as I am enjoying the continued success of DREAMWORLD I can't help thinkimg that a missed opputunity is happening here in the sense of some other greatest hits should be involved in the setlist. Currently listening to SMASH & just how good would Together sound live. If I run through the list there are some great gems being missed here .....Dj Culture, A red letter day, I get along, Winner & Memory of the future.
Shame!

Setting off to Berlin from North Wales in a couple of hours - only my second time seeing the boys - first was a couple of years ago in Manchester. I honestly can't wait for Saturday night.

Now that's a special trip.

I keep wondering... Now what? I mean, will they go back to traditional shows?
I wonder if their touring days are over (After this tour of course).

Maybe..I was i Prague after 2 years (plus in Rome last year) , never saw them before.
The new visuals were nice suprise...Go West...Made me think about the meaning of the song...
But it is kind of relax you know everything
I would love to hear Love is the law, Kings Cross...but I even enjoyed Se a vida é...which I normally skip
And I was again suprised to reaction to So hard , I thought it is only my " guilty pleasure"
So they probably know what they do

I thought about it when Neil said something like : I hope that the memories will be nice...but with his sweet mysterious smile...

I am seeing the Show tomorrow in Berlin finally

Hello petheads, does anyone knows all the pre-show music that was played before the Dreamworld Shows ?

Don't know them all, but Rone 'Babel' (Maceo Plex Remix) has been a mainstay, and was banging tonight!

Also heard 'Blackpool Boulevard' by Anish Kumar and Barry Can't Swim

And by the way, what a frickin show that was tonight - great energy from the crowd and the boys and band were clearly loving every moment.

Last Train to Transcentral by KLF has been on there too.

I had fun last night in Berlin. Danced almost the whole show and it was nice to see mobile phones with their flashlights out swaying during "A new bohemia"...definitely a great song to be a single. I do hope we get a 4th single.

Anyway, here is a review of the Berlin, 6 July 2024 show in German: https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/kultur- ... li.2232389
