DVD Reviews of Pet Shop Boys - Performance
DVD Review: NOT THE COMPLETE SHOW!!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know what the other people above or below have reviewed but it is not this DVD. I ordered this NEW from one of the other sellers and though it is the correct DVD with all the extras listed, this is not complete.
The song "Where the streets have no name (I can't take my eyes off you)"
is NOT on the DVD. It is the exact same preformance as on vhs. Think about it..was the line "I love you baby and if its quite alright I need you baby" ever sung? NO. It is not the complete song. I wish the reviewers would have been honest or at least watched the movie first before making their review.
DVD Review: Different.....
Summary: 4 Stars
The sound qulaity is not the best, also the lighting needed improving but I am a big PSB's fan and would buy just about anything that they bring out. Remember this is a concert from 1992. This was a theatre interpretation of their music. Interesting.DVD Review: NOT YOUR EVERYDAY CONCERT VIDEO
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this concert live many many years ago. My friend and I both commented on how it was totally not what we expected, but still worth the money we paid for the tickets. PSB has always done the unexpected.DVD Review: A first-rate Performance
Summary: 5 Stars
I was fortunate enough to see the Pet Shop Boys in concert during this concert tour in Chicago, in 1990. This is the same concert that they took on the road around the world, and was very true to the performance that I saw, which was very thrilling. This was no simple concert - the fans of the Pet Shop Boys, having come to expect much from them in terms of quality and innovation, were treated to a concert performance that was part music video, part Broadway/West End music, part modern opera, and part simple, old-fashioned concert singing. Something for everyone, indeed.
The music quality on this is superb - despite being a `live' performance video, the music has been enhanced and corrected to allow for the best possible quality. This is very much a live performance, but with the kind of technical skill and back-up that the music of the Pet Shop Boys requires (Neil Tennant once made the comment that the Pet Shop Boys were probably never going to be able to `make it live' because of the technological requirements for their songs.
The songs include the following:
This must be the place I waited years to leave
It's a sin
Losing my mind
What have I done to deserve this?
My October symphony
I'm not scared
We all feel better in the dark
So sorry, I said
Suburbia
So hard
Opportunities (let's make lots of money)
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
Rent
Where the streets have no name (I can't take my eyes off you)
West End girls
Jealousy
Always on my mind
Your funny uncle
The DVD has a complete performance of the whole concert; those watching the video will notice a modified `Where the streets have no name' because of some sort of licensing dispute with the song copyright owners.
The choreography is stunning, as are the sets, costumes and production values. Eric Watson, who has worked with the PSB more often than any other director for their videos, is also the director here. Other performers include vocals by Sylvia Mason-James, Pam Sheyne, and Derek Green; Scott Davidson and J.J. Belle provide additional instrumental back-up (both have worked with the PSB frequently).
This is a very postmodern performance in many ways, and one that has details that come out only upon repeated viewings.
