Glory for the kings of music forever

I really like this, it is one of those songs that grows on me to the point where i can't stop listening to it lol. I hope I'll find it on a cd sometime soon, i genuinely love it so much!

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THE PET SHOP BOYS! What beautiful music!

[@steve01207]

Love this take it to the studio and do your magic be great❤

[@yurikoda0223]

According to Wiki, they are called the most successful and greatest pop duo in the world. I agree with it! 🎉👍✨

[@user-ru2rs2cg3i]

Increible la voz de Tennant a sus casi 70 años ❤

[@davidgrk]

Prodigioso!!!

Impresionante, sigue intacta su llamativa e inconfundible voz ❤

[@rggensollen6238]

Beautiful song!! ... So special as well as Neil's performance..💖

[@Solid_Jackson]

But it’s objectively crap

[@1anhunter1]

An exceptional cover of a long-standing favourite. Bowie, Ian Hunter, Mott and The Pet Shop Boys are the spine of my love of music. To hear Neil sing this . . . I'm overwhelmed to be honest.

[@squaredealer]

Please release this as a b-side. I love Neils voice when he starts to crank it up ala "thats my impression" ending.

[@franlopez2876]

Sois los mejores Neil y Chris,PET SHOP BOYS NUMBER ONE🇪🇦😊

[@steveallen808909]

Hopefully another studio version of this. Will be more epic

[@user-qx2gr7wd1s]

Ni un pero a la actuación, PSB rayan la perfección por muchos motivos. Saludos desde Madrid.Es un placer siempre dusfrutaros en el formato que sea.Gracias por tanto

[@roboroflo8679]

I need a studio version of this.

[@susan12021]

PSB ,me encantan son los mejores saludos desde México

[@vinny142]

So... why is there an orchestra in this? All we can hear is a drum computer doing 240bpm. Who mixes this? Who arranges this? Who recorded this and thought "yes, this is good enough to keep, in fact, lets put it online"? If I was in the orchestra I'd feel cheated.

[@wetworks8]

My immediate thoughts exactly. Poorly put together.

[@rebeccadooley6127]

Came here to write the exact same thing!?

[@ruedili68]

as a musician let me tell you: you need to examine your ears. Strings, Clarinets easy to figure out.

[@andreasalvi312]

@ruedili68 As a musician let me tell you this: no. Simply not there for the first two thirds of the song, then the audio guy tried to figure it out and elevated flute and clarinet, but just a tiny little bit. Strings are useless, what you're hearing is classic Pet Shop synth. And maybe this is jut me, but I don't find this a great overall performance.

[@oskarobit]

First of all, KZbin compresses the sound and loses quality. This is probably 128 kbpm MP3. And I would like to know if you are listening to this on a mobile phone, a small computer speakers, 20€ earphones, 1500€ headphones or through a high-end hi-fi system with a pair of Kharma Enigma Veyron EV-1 Diamond. Second, I can listen to the orchestra and I use nothing but a laptop with Creative (or crappy) Labs speakers. Third, I suggest you add that the sound guy must know how to do his job: I bet if he works for the BBC or the PSB, he knows more than you and me put together. Just notice that each instrument has its own individual microphone, that's a lot of trouble not to know how to do its job. He probably knows how to do a sound mix and what he was asked to do is just what we are trying to enjoy.

[@annajohansson875]

Most beautiful voice❤❤❤❤

Gran versión del primer y mayor éxito de Mott The Hoople (n° 3 in UK 1972)

[@FastCat1976]

@@user-qh7tf4vq5mэто нормально, к сожалению - никто не молодеет...

[@Jeremiel4448]

Das interessiert uns Super Fans nicht und wenn Neil nur noch Plyback singen müsste und wenn sie immer und die halbe Welt Reisen müssen die Stimmbänder müssen auch mal geschont werden das macht jeder Opernsänger (in) auch

[@marcosachs6035]

Super, super,.ein schönes Lied . Macht nachdenklich.🤟😊

Pet Shop Boys are always perfect! I absolutely loved you singing 'Loneliness'.

[@amangogna68]

Great music, amazing vocals and fantastic orchestra ! ❤

[@ab-gc5ei]

❤happy to watch and listen❤

[@garyduckworth4522]

There’s no “You at the back, I want you”. I like that in Mott’s version. ‘Marks & Sparks’ tho’ - which is cool, but funny - as it was the BBC that initially required it to be changed from that due to their no ads rule.

[@user-qx2gr7wd1s]

Para mi ha sido un cover perfecto, con 70 años la voz de Neil para mi ha sido mas que correcta.

[@TheDaftric]

First record I ever bought this and I'd rather remember the 1972 version, sorry boys

[@user-es1my5eo4v]

LOVE❤

[@onlyme219]

Love this song, unbelievable the boys did this cover :) Shout out to Bowie who I believe wrote the song

[@imperialdagger]

I think mick r produced.❤

[@kittymetal186]

Bowie wrote the song, gave it to Mott the Hoople and produced the recording. A 70s classic 😁

[@glorias9738]

Pet shop boys son geniales, los amo y ya no tienen nada que demostrarle a nadie. A la mierda con todos esos que vienen solo a criticar, si no les gusta no escuchen pero no vengan a basurear.

Very great Pet Shop Boys Sound. ❤ I Love You Pet Shop Boys 🥰

[@54spatula]

As much as I like the PSB, you can’t beat a live band (guitars and drums) playing this.

[@jaynepeaty7075]

I agree, I love Bowie's original too but Mott the Hoople's cover is best in my opinion

[@lastnameavailable326]

Strictly speaking, Mott the Hoople had the original. Bowie wrote it for them to record.

[@a.c.t.9211]

Hey guys! Will you consider uploading the whole thing??? Two more songs... I am a big PSB fan, but to be really honest this song is not a great showcase of their musical genius...

Por supuesto que me ha gustado, pero acaso alguien podria decirme si se escucha la orquesta o soy yo con problemas auditivos....? Me recordó Hold On de su álbum Elysium.

[@xcm88]

Si, se escucha 😅

[@southerner4566]

Is he repeatedly saying I'm a dude dad ?

[@MagnusStalberg-mk1lw]

What happened to the BBC Concert Orchestra in this? They totally drowned behind the synths ...

[@carlosdesalis]

Amo o PSB mas alguma coisa nessa apresentação não deu certo. Pouco se ouvia a orquestra.

[@stefanpulzer6380]

I would prefer the instrumental version.

@@laser.beak23 I liked it and that's just your opinion

[@paulinportsva4464]

Absolutely Perfect!

[@jamieonkeys]

Not great. Really difficult to hear the orchestra. Neil’s way out of tune at points, especially the last line. Maybe he was having difficulty hearing the band too? A shame, as Pet Shop Boys with orchestra can sound great (see 2006’s ‘Concrete’ with the same BBC Concert Orchestra).

[@paulhandley6945]

PSB will always be my all time favourites..but personally,must agree with fellow commenter..that this Bowie cover doesn't really suit Neil's voice sadly on this occasion..very much to me a 5..maybe 6/10 performance here.

Very kind there mate, I've loved PSB since West End Girls, but this is absolute dogshit.

[@robdinkel600]

I think the arrangement and mixing are a musical abortion. It's as if they didn't rehearse together before this performance. Why not slow down the tempo slightly and find a key Neil doesn't have to struggle to keep? I'm a fan of PSB, I just paid to see their concert move and loved it, but this is a bad look.

Amazing.

[@teetotal33]

Pet Shop Boys bless an already fine song with their enriching sound. Love this.

[@AnnaChekharina]

I really like this version. A little high for Neil’s voice and a difficult composition for breathing, but Neil did a very decent job. I hope I can see you this year, I really miss ❤. Haven't been to a concert in Europe since Covid in 2020. See you. Anna x ;)

[@mumbles8078]

Orchestra should be higher in the mix

[@jabah126]

Ouch, Neil's voice, really doesn't suit this at all, either it's too high or nasly, I'm not sure, in fact it doesn't sound like Neil's usual voice. Everything about it sounds flat somehow.

Well, you cannot always do everything perfectly, can't you? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Nonetheless, looking forward to Nonetheless ❤️

IAN HUNTER and MOTT THE HOOPLE…….they were given it, and they made it their song. #1 😎😎😎. If anyone wants to hear a much better cover version than this one, check out the beautiful version by Lisa Loeb on KZbin. PSB……stick to dance stuff.

[@lorenzomag100]

Love this version from Neil,and David would have too..

[@IanMcKennaLondon]

If you want to hear it done properly with an orchestra this is how it should be done kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXLRe5yFeshop80si=94X6R1J6u9OLYG8K regrettably the video of it live has been taken from You Tube but at least you can hear it.

[@alexbrasilien]

Also not impressive.

[@IanMcKennaLondon]

You do realise@@alexbrasilien that the version I linked to is by Ian Hunter, sorry, but if you do not think that is impressive, I would suggest you go and get your hearing checked out. I can only assume you do not know very much about the history of the song. To give you a feel for the evening (and I was there both nights) here is a link to the performance of Michael Picasso from the same night which does still have the video embedded kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ7IpGWnhLatjdk.

This brought a lump.to my throat , Why the fk. Do we get old.... We needed a younger version....
