Johnny Marr with Neil Tennant - Getting Away With It - Eventim Apollo, London, 12/4/24

Celebrating almost 35 years since Electronic first released 'Getting Away With It' in December 1989, it was wonderful to see Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant reunited with Johnny Marr for a live version to close the main set.
Neil was an extra special surprise guest who Johnny brought on stage just for this London show.

[@Off-gridPA]

Neil needs to get Chris onboard super group! Power station years ago.

[@gingerkyriakos6968]

Neil has always had the voice to make any song shine

[@thestrengthwithin4249]

Spot on on there fella 🙌

[@slayerg11]

[@alexdifaso4776]

Was Neil a surprise?

[@aidycannon5190]

The single most coolest thing I’ve ever seen 1989

[@rogerburke_music]

So many musicians and artists worked with the pet shop boys, and the electronic album is such a masterpiece album. All the tracks Jonny Marr worked on take each song to another level.

[@edonosocuadra]

Wow!!! Amazing ! Neil tennant wonderful as always😊

[@briannicholson5205]

Love how the crowd is singing along with this. So in to it! Great tune!

Johnny Marr is really really happy playing that song with Neil.

Electronic was the best 'supergroup' of all time :)

[@paulwilliams5296]

Words straight out of my mouth for the last 30 years.

Lyrics (to the best of my ability, feel free to correct the missing lyrics): I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose I've been forcing myself not to forget just to feel worse I've been getting away with it all my life (Getting away with it) I've been getting away with it all my life (Getting away) I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless I'm an original sinner but when I'm with you I couldn't care less I've been getting away with it all my life (Getting away with it) I've been getting away with it all my life (Getting away) However I look, it's clear to see I love you more than you love me However I look, it's clear to see I love you more than you love me I love you more than you love me I love you more than you love me I thought I gave up falling in love a long, long time ago I guess I like it but I can't tell you, you shouldn't really know And it's been true all my life It's been true all my life 1989 Manchester [pull down the line] 1989 1989 House piano and a new baseline 1989 1989 Change of [mood/view] for a different time 1989 1989 Manchester [all down the line] 1989 1989 1989 However I look, it's clear to see I love you more than you love me However I look, it's clear to see I love you more than you love me I love you more than you love me I love you more than you love me 1989 1989 1989

[@beingboring08]

Thank you for recording this song!!! So jealous that you got to see this live! ❤

[@JasonParkerComics]

Neil and Johnny together are great. Come on Barney. Let’s have another Electronic banger.

[@johnmcfadden1012]

🎶 1989 🎶

[@carlwagg1547]

Thanks for posting this iconic moment. Love the extra 1989 bit. I miss electronic

[@teresacris505]

It was perfect ❤❤❤!

[@petshopboysPL]

Thanks for posting! Love the 1989 bit. 👍👍

[@discodave6153]

Marr’s arpeggios after the solo are sublime

[@Finnbo2000]

I absolutely loved it yesterday. Best thing I’ve seen live for a long long time

[@ngpaul9253]

Johnny Marr is the best guitarist in the world (in my opinion) and I've been a fan of P.S.B since west end girls.

[@wildolan]

When Johnny plays the little riff at the start and Neil has that little smirk, its clear we are in the presence of greatness!!

[@wladimirrezende1475]

Amazing performance! I was blessed to have seen the boys in Brazil last year. Thank you, boys, for the soundtrack of my life. God bless you.

[@Jeremiel4448]

Brilliant ich liebe den Song heute noch Zeitlos ganz toll gesungen von Johnny Marr ❤❤❤

[@stargazerlaurent6780]

Oh how I wish I could have seen this live

[@MaurilioALAndrade]

What a moment! Awesome.

[@eddyf4426]

How good is the melancholic improve at 3:48, what a tone, what a voice!!

[@geraldthesaint5457]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing

[@stephanemalhorty5008]

Neil est une star

[@thierryrault3951]

Un nouvel album des PSB sort bientôt.

[@Mastertennant]

Why couldn’t they’ve done this at the NO PSB Unity Tour?

[@kennyc3076]

​@@starlodear2987no they aint lol

[@beingboring08]

I agree! Was a missed opportunity. But I bet the Neil didn’t like the fact that Bernard’s voice was often off key and pitch. 😅

[@bgeek]

Never mind that! They didn't even do the Unity Tour in their home country. You were lucky 😃

[@KoreAmBear]

I bet Bernie was reluctant 😂

[@funkzone6608]

Legendary tune ❤

[@simonehbe]

Eletronic!!!

[@wadiddly]

i was so lucky to have gotten so close to the front. it was a one of a kind experience

[@iainholmes2735]

I remember hearing the song for the first time in late 1989. The record hasn't aged at all. Still fresh as a daisy. The lyrics really meant a lot to me at the time. I got over that unrequited love. A beautiful song and brilliant lyrics - as always - by Neil and Bernard.

[@vaucemir]

Wonderful!!!

[@schubert3315]

Fucking amazing!!

[@markoconnor4380]

That was class 👍

[@bgeek]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻Don't get a job as a camera operator - felt a bit sick at times watching this😆

[@Automorph]

I know, and I won't, sorry about that! I'm often watching the show directly rather than through the camera screen when taking these memento videos, which often increases the 'rough seas' effect unfortunately! Possibly made worse for this one by increased comings and goings of people around us, and singing along with my better half! 😂

[@bgeek]

@@Automorph Understandable 😂 Envious of you all at the gig.

[@lisahutchings1953]

Thank you for sharing ❤

[@GlenCurley]

It's a beautiful song ❤

[@yurikoda0223]

I was also the big fan of Electronic.Both lohnny Marr's gurtar and Neil's vocal was as awesome as ever👍✨🎵😉

[@andynpoet]

[@cyrilrogan4069]

Loved that tune....1989

[@friendly76]

Very special performance!

[@spaceengineer1452]

Life affirming.

[@rodrigonavarro4955]

PSB para sempre eterno fã primeira vez qe escutei pet shop boys em 1989 eu tinha 6 anos era dominó dancing, eu montava no triciclo e saia pedalando cantando essa música dominó dancing, daí pra lá levo os comigo

[@marcelaperez2906]

Que dicha que vuelvan a trabajar juntos johnny marr y los pet shop boys Neil siempre tan guapo y su voz es excelente

[@monalisamoshpit]

What a magical moment!

[@reduranduran]

Very cool. The spectacular Bernard Sumner was missing, to complete the show...

[@derekaccount9183]

1989 magic year!

[@marguskiis7711]

Electronic should reunite.

[@teamkolumbix1718]

Love.

[@Distilleryspotter]

Fantastic song.. ❤

[@elisabethsmith1448]

I would so have loved to be there! I never understood why they did pull out a tune or two when New Order and Pet Shop Boys toured together. Well, at least I finally got to see the Pet Shop Boys!

[@nikitakellermann6012]

Wonder why Pets and New Order didn't perform this during Unity US tour

[@jonathankarakas5354]

legendary

[@marceloarriagada444]

I always love this song

[@cerati900]

[@kaoss700]

Focking Legends!!

[@timatotoro]

[@couchchannel]

[@heclker5]

Of course it took Johnny “Fucking” Marr to make this semi reunion happen this when a missed opportunity during PSB/New Order tour!

[@anthonytin9973]

I was born in 1989!

[@АнтонБасаров]

Нил Теннант ❤❤❤

My youth, my best moments.

[@CarAudioXpert]

Can't wait for July date in Warsaw!

[@janrother9729]

Epic

[@Jimmy_Moon]

The lead guitar is very clean.

[@jonathansteadman7935]

It's obviously in the fingers for any guitarist, but having bought a capo, or given a capo after 45 years of playing, and I've unlocked a lot of Johnny Marrs playing, normally on the second fret, and all those Smiths songs suddenly have that sound and feel.

[@roblucas8953]

Have a look at the Jonny Marr orchestra version from Manchester December 2023 👍

[@leonperkin508]

Team Morrissey but Marr is class live.Saw him last year with low expectations but was blown away

[@Mgh-r]

Come on guys. Let's see Electronic reform.

[@davidattwell2574]

Neil Tennant is 70 this year 😊😅😮

[@ThomasRay-dq2ru]

Love this...where's Barney!?

[@ivantoth1699]

Top😊

[@Dima_Barnaul]

Need DISSAPOINTED live!!!!

[@GreenaudioMx]

❤❤👍🇲🇽

[@jartober]

Getting Away With It is a GREAT track.. catchy and totally relatable. Johnny wouldn't stand for Moz' antics and you know Neil would probably never either. He would never work with Moz...And then there's Siouxsie, who recorded her Interlude vocals separately from him.
