Pet Shop Boys - Dreamworld Tour

I had always regretted not seeing Pet Shop Boys in concert when I was younger and vowed that I would do so when they were next touring (if ever they did tour again) and when they announced a new tour that was going to be all their "old stuff" I was delighted and we got tickets for it with John and Pauline. 

That was a couple of years ago and then Covid hit and pushed it back but thankfully it finally went ahead - it's been 40 years but it was so very, very worth it

John drove, it was in Birmingham Arena on the outskirts, but that wasn't a concern for me as I wasn't going to drink anyway as I wanted to soak in all the atmosphere and remember it.

Our seats were near the back of the floor-standing area but it was fine, just pleased to be there and they put on such a great performance, even with my back aching like mad I don't think I actually sat down at all.

As promised they did play so many of their old tracks and it was wonderful, the show was such an impressive sight, I really, really enjoyed it. Loads to sing to, oh, it was just wonderful, simple as that.

When it was over we went to the hotel opposite and had a drink upstairs looking out over the venue watching everyone leaving and then after 45 mins we wandered to the car and there was no traffic at all - will have to keep that in mind for the next time we go to that venue.

Such a great night

The set list is below - a great memory
