starting difficulties
This is only the second stop on the tour for the Pet Shop Boys after the successful premiere in Milan two days earlier. The duo is not really grooved, especially in the first third. With “Suburbia”, “Can You Forgive Her” and the electronic pathetic U2 cover “Where The Streets Have No Name”, which is humorously mixed with “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”, the start on paper was successful , but in practice deductions are to be noted in the B grade. The sound is initially mixed much too quietly, Tennant’s movements seem a bit wooden, the voice stays too much in the background. The glasses reminiscent of bunny ears and Tennant’s floor-length, snow-white coat prove early on that a London show is always a bold and creative fashion revue.
