The most pleasant at this concert was the people. I think it was the first time the people knew and sang songs, not just when Neil Tennant asked for it. It was fun, it had pulse and a lot of sweat !!!
The show was very professional and spectacular. The live stage with the cubes, which changed from section to section or from song to song for a number of times, to remind me nothing of the domestic productions, served in a magical way the music.
The dancers (2nd voice) ware perfect, upbeat, vibrant, dynamic and broadcasted the energy in the arena.
The area of Metropolitan Expo, is oblong. I'm not sure if it serves such large concerts. The sound was not the best possible and I guess that depends on the place that each one was. The same goes for the sight that I got to the scene, because if you come late you probably did not have any luck (because I was there shortly after 7, which means I was cleaning the high shoes of Neil I can not judge what happened later after the queues have formed in front of the cashier). The Tasman - Tassos Papastamos (violin of Closer), who opened the concert, I think it was not the best option because the people as we said was very hot by placing early and rather "difficult" electronic loops, with the romantic mood of the electric violin and mandolin, and the stunning voice of singer (let someone help me), failed to stimulate interest. Beyond this, however, we are dealing with an interesting work that wants more internal sounds.
Oh ...I remind you that the Pet Shop Boys were there as well. I could only say a thumbs up and stop this issue here. I think their wisdom is "scary". The way they took part in this perfectly organized festival was amazing.With no complexes, direct, with mischievous smiles and glances with style and sauciness, it was just the Boys that we love.
They begun with Heart and immediately placed where they wanted-namely the fun-and be sure that all groups of people would choose to start with a song from their latest cd (Yes). The way they rotated great successes with their new songs, with b-sides ( Do I have to ) or selected songs from the old times (Two Divided be zero , Why don't we live together? , King's Cross), the way they joined Coldplay-Viva La Vida, with a smell of Domino Dancing (yes that what we lacked, I think the only thing that went wrong), was simply masterful. But above all were the songs. These pop anthems that make you remember, dance, think, laugh ... and the people did this all the time. We are the Pet Shop Boys (Atina eykaristo!!! Atina ti kaneis ???)
