Everybody to the dance floor! Pet Shop Boys has come to town!
There was a time in my youth when the music I listened to consisted of an abundance of Britpop bands such as Duran Duran, New Order, Bananarama, Tears for Fears, Wham! and the Pet Shop Boys. One could not go through the 80s or 90s without jamming to these hitmakers.
Although Duran Duran produced some really great videos, it was Pet Shop Boys’ Being Boring that took the cake. This black and white video, directed by fashion photographer Bruce Weber, is purr-fection. A visual masterpiece. and IMHO, is one of the greatest singles of all time.
And they didn’t play it on this tour! Grrrrr! I knew it was a long shot. Minor disappointment aside, there were enough favourites to satisfy me all night long. The concert was a visual spectacle with its glorious light shows, rave laser beams, projections, strobe lights, dried ice, shiny head gear and inflatable fat suits.
It felt like we were in a club in the 90s, leaping to our feet and dancing our collective asses off together.
The duo still got it. They may be older, we may be older, but for one night, we all felt young and carefree, with the world as our oyster.
Here’s the Super Tour setlist:
