I didn’t stop watching after a-ha. I saw Pet Shop Boys playing from Moscow; that was pretty cool. They did “Go West”. I guess they're the only band playing in Moscow. I'm not sure what even happened to Tokyo. For a PSB live show it was pretty sedate; they usually do impressive, operatic things (Neil in an electric chair is a memorable image from Performance).
I don’t know what I was seeing in Rome. It looked like a hill-billy trucker rapping in Italian. ??
Sting seemed to be sticking to old Police songs, but he redid the lyrics to “Every Breath You Take” to address the world leaders. I didn’t catch most of it (I always have a hard time understanding the words of songs on the first go-round), but I liked “Every smile you fake, we’ll be watching you.”
Robbie Williams was fun, even though I don’t really know his songs. He has enough personality for two people, I swear.
Then there was the Who, another one of my faves (this concert is a lot like the random mix of my iTunes, only without Shonen Knife). They’re looking really old, but still rock like they're kids.
The Cure looks older than the Who.
