Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls (Later Archive 2002)

Pet Shop Boys perform West End Girls on Later... with Jools Holland.

[@kraftyw1999]

This is easily one of the very best versions I've heard of this incredible song.

[@italioguy]

Yup! I’m with you on this one! It’s not often that groups perform live in concerts as they play their big hits to be as good or better than the original version on the cd. However, in this case, it’s an example where this live version is by far the best version of this song they’ve done yet! • It’s so good, that ever since I found this clip, I’ve been coming back to it again n again to hear it, it’s that good! • I grew up in the 80s, was in prep school when this song was played every 2 mins ! It was awesome then and it’s better here!

[@ErikGPL]

Their best version is the one from their Nightlife tour (Montage) in my opinion.

[@signalenergie]

Word.

[@jeffy210]

I liked their Lockdown Version that they came out with in 2020

[@wildolan]

yup, defo one of the best. although the one they released during COVID is also class.

[@petshopboysactually]

Pet Shop Boys always reinventing their own music. Timeless ❤

[@FensterstockHias]

This is amazing!! Neil Tennant's voice sounds exactly like in 1984, as if he didn't age a bit. And while i love the album version, this performance has got such an incredible smoothness, oh my god! Guitar and percussion are doing a wonderful job here... This is definitely my new favourite version of this song.

[@swiss71]

[@frankcisde2338]

This incredible voice is so recognizable and hasn't changed since 30 years !

[@aldneydasilvasoaressilva6026]

[@Whatisthis94]

Best version

[@andressuarez6290]

Pet Shop Boys, the best music

[@TonyFromSyracuse101]

this version reminds me of a beautiful breezy night, its so smooth sounding with the mellow keys with the synth pad

[@rdsully1221]

Beautiful arrangement, confident vocals

[@thebritishbushman8389]

Amazing that after so many years since I last heard or played this, I still know all the lyrics. Enough said really.

[@paulandmeadowarmiger517]

Great childhood memories. And so much talent..real quality. This group are up there!

[@joseedivan1145]

Top demais 💯 Pense numa banda fantástica 👏👏🎸🎹🇧🇷

[@n23art]

It's wild that they have Bic Hayes (Cardiacs/Levitation/Dark Star) and Mark Refoy (Spacemen 3/Spiritualized) playing guitar with them.

[@auxmike718]

The original was all keyboard effects. Putting it together to perfection was not easy!

[@aldneydasilvasoaressilva6026]

Linda canção ❤

[@fabithierry]

I loved the fact that they don't use backing tracks

[@crystalneth994]

I hate to disappoint you but I’m fairly certain they do, not that that’s a criticism. Nothing wrong with backing tracks as long as it sounds good and this sounds GREAT

[@jeffcappelletti1986]

The bass and some of the pad sounds are sequenced or preprogramed into a computer. The sequenced parts are considered a backing track. The vocals are fully live

[@ericolaser8546]

Pet shop boys o melhor do mundo de todos os tempos

[@angeljimenezb]

De las canciones más difíciles de cantar por el rapeo y la pronunciación, sobre todo para el latino. Brutal versión de PSB. Neil aprovechando su grandiosa voz.

[@Reprodestruxion]

Ojo con la versión de Entropica
