Concrete - Pet shop boys.

Concrete is the seventeenth album by the Pet Shop Boys. It

was released on 23 October 2006. It is the first live concert to
be released by the band on CD. The performance recorded for
the album took place at the Mermaid Theatre on May 8, 2006,
as an exclusive for broadcast on BBC Radio 2's Sold on Song
program. Attendance, totaling 600, was by invitation or
through winning competitions held by Radio 2 and the band's
official website. The event was hosted by the BBC's Stuart
Maconie. The May 27 Radio 2 broadcast included an
interview conducted by Maconie, but excluded four songs
from the running order ("You only tell me you love me when
you're drunk", "After all", "Numb", and "Dreaming of the
Queen"). The full concert was later broadcast on BBC 6
Music on August 28. Due to the presence of the orchestra, the
setlist was composed to consist of songs originally recorded with an orchestra. Consequently, aside from
an extensive selection of songs from Fundamental, various non-studio album tracks were chosen,
including the arrangement of "Rent" from the Liza Minnelli album Results, originally arranged by Angelo
Badalamenti; "After all", the portion of the band's Battleship Potemkin's soundtrack that accompanies the
Odessa Steps sequence from the film (performed with the scene projected on a screen in the background);
"Friendly fire", from the Closer to Heaven musical; and "Nothing has been proved", the theme song from
the movie Scandal, also arranged by Badalamenti. "West End girls" and "It's a sin" were the only
exceptions to the rule, and were reworked to integrate the orchestra.
