Pet Shop Boys Community

This has been touched on in other threads but let's put this together a bit:

I'd hope for:

A repeat week next year
At least one presentation of this in a more comfortable venue (a theatre)
Maybe a mini tour.
An official release either from these shows or at least of the tracks which have beefed up arrangements

More please Chris and Neil!

A Magical Week.

Sometimes, that's enough.

Next, In Comfortable Venues. Album Shows. Perhaps..

A MasterCard live performance in my living room
IYKYK

I’d like to be 23 again and experience Nightlife again for the first time.

An Obscure show in New York!

I think they could become their own support act at Dreamworld! A one-hour Obscure set followed by all the bangin’ hits.

…wait, did anyone else feel a disturbance in the Force and hear someone bellowing NYET?

No, but seriously, given that they sometimes like to do a little club show around the same time as a DW show, how cool would it be to have the smaller show be an Obscure set?

Yes!!

Yes to that!

Glasgow. Barrowlands.

A full physical release on dvd/br and cd

Sometimes a week is all you need.

I think leave it there and park it now. It was very special and I’m so glad I went, but this should be a one-off thing. To draw it out would diminish its unique aura.

A live release would be welcomed though!

Obscure in NYC would be an excellent idea. However, the idea of hearing full albums live would be excellent. But which one? Showing my age but I'd pair Behavviour for the first half and Introspective for the second. A mix of faithful recreations and tracks in an updated milieu (How can you expect to be taken seriously? and I Want a Dog which were very much intended as zeitgeist tracks could be candidates for a sonic refresh). If the boys wanted to engage in some post-hoc tracklist amending (swapping a given album track for a song which almost made the track-listing) or interpolating a bonus that could add even more to the experience.

If they were to exclusively focus on any two albums, what would you choose? Is there a track-listing which would allow them to integrate both albums rather than tackling them separately?

I'll have to listen to the audience recordings before I can give my proper answer.
It's possible that this 5 night residency is all Obscure needs to be.
Though 2 ideas that have popped up for me are:
-Live album
-Reoccurring Obscure concerts, every year or two years. Same premise just another time.
