It's in spanish. Basically says that that Asics Festival was crap, the mixture of bands was a very wrong plan and that psb are gods and their concert was great.
My taxi is waiting, Bye!

I don't speak Spanish, but I can take a good guess as to what "Pet Shop Boys, a salvo del 'Titanic'" might mean!

The Barcelona show was FAB......as always
Having stood there through three bands before PSB, my feet were giving me jip but when the boys came on looking relaxed it was worth the wait. It got more crowded by the time PSB came on and of course I can only speak for the atmosphere at the front.....very enthusiastic. Had a great weekend in Barcelona!

Was the track listing the same as before and which version of Integral was performed?

It was a standard concert with just one or two songs removed, I think. Integral was played on its fundamental version.
I have to say that I went with my girlfriend, who is a fan, and two friends, who just liked them from time to time. Well, theese two were pleased, they loved them. And I was really really happy to see Paninaro live at last!
We were at the front, but for what I saw when I loked backwards and what the newspapers reviews say, the people on the seats stood up and danced. That's the srpirit.
But it was a bit of a let down to see the new stage. The cube was so perfect that nothing could do better. The new stage does its work, but it looks cheaper and a lot less spectacular.
The other bands were so bad that we were embarrassed...

Great show once more. Happy to see 'We're the PSB' sung in spanish as 'Somos los PSB'.
Right after Left to my own devices Neil dedicated the show to the memory of Mr.Dainton Connell.

Yeah! That was a great surprise!
Did anybody go to Zaragoza? No reviews?
I was sure I'd meet you or Raquel, as often happens on psb happenings.

The right thing to do. They have removed 3 songs comparin' this gig to the previous in Europe during the spring (I'm with stupid, Dreaming Of The Queen and Home And Dry).

I've been told it was the same setlist: including We're the [somos los] PSB and Numb but no I'm with stupid, HAD nor DOTQ.

Was it very crowded? Las fiestas del pilar siempre están a tope, no?
