The Pet Shop Boys are not at least a little bit out of this world. For more than 30 years of the Brits in the music business are on the go. In the meantime, you have whole generations of Pop Bands survived.
And so it is fitting that Neil Tennant (62) and Chris Lowe (57) on Saturday evening entering in Leipzig to the Start of their tour of Germany the stage with Alien dome.

We are the Pet Shop Boys". Since the Duo has played to the enthusiasm of the audience, his first major Hit “West End Girls”.

Because even if the Pet Shop Boys for electro-Pop, they are all classically trained musicians. Two drummers provide in addition for the Beat, a young woman supported Keyboards and the violin.
“Super” is the 13. Album of the Pet Shop Boys. They play Songs like “The Pop Kids”, but also quite far in the band’s history, when they sing about “Love Comes Quickly” from her first Album. Especially old Hits such as “It’s A Sin”, Tennant’s settlement with his Catholic upbringing to be cheered by the audience.
The Pet Shop Boys would not, however, the Pet Shop Boys, when a concert is just a concert. It is a Show. For music, there is laser light, sometimes it sounds and looks like the Techno of the 1990s. On the video screen, enigmatic, sometimes even a little pompous-run portion of cheesy sequences like a sunset into the sea.
The audience is – how should it be otherwise – with the Band aged. The average age is likely to loose beyond the 40. Some of the children are in the Arena. The Pet Shop Boys as a family Event on Saturday evening.
The biggest cheers loot, the Band for the encores. In the case of “Domino Dancing” is the whole of the hall text, which acknowledged Tennant approvingly: “Leipzig, very good!” Thereafter, the Elvis Presley Cover “Always On My Mind,” and then closing.
for More appearances by the Pet Shop Boys in Köln (27.), Tilburg (The Netherlands), Hamburg (30. November), Berlin (1. December) and Frankfurt/Main (2. December) planned.
