Pet Shop Boys played the first date of their new “Electric” tour last night at the Cumbre Tajin festival in Mexico. Although the tour doesn’t really get going until May, this show was a preview of much of the music and visuals and included two songs from the forthcoming “Electric” album: “Axis” and “The last to die”. This was the full set list:
Axis
One more chance/Face like that
Opportunities
Memory of the future
Fugitive/Integral
(Sample of “The Rite of Spring” by Igor Stravinsky.)
I wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing
Suburbia
I’m not scared
Invisible
The last to die/Somewhere
West End girls
Domino dancing
Love etc
It’s a sin
Always on my mind
Go west
First Electric date
We had a fantastic night at the Electric Ballroom yesterday with a special guest appearance from Johnny Marr on guitar! Thanks to Johnny for playing with us and to all the wonderful Petheads. xx
