Pet Shop Boys at The Brighton Centre, 26th June 2923
The last time I saw a queue like that at The Brighton Centre, it was being used as a vaccination station – this time was a lot more fun. With a back catalogue bursting at the seams with hits from the 80s onwards, there would never be room for everything, but a two hour set full of one massive track after another kept the crowd singing and bouncing along from start to finish. The staging was perfectly executed, Tenant and Lowe ably backed by an accomplished backline and an ever moving pair of lamp-posts to lean on and spin around. There is sometimes debate about whether live performances should be called gigs or shows. This was undoubtedly a show but equally one of the best gigs I’ve seen. Pet Shop Boys are celebrating their greatest hits and it’s a party not to be missed.
