Yes the Boys are still around.. and sounding much like they did in the mid 80's. only 25 yrs later. they put on a really good show.. dancers were incredible.. stage lighting and effects were decent.

only gripe.. they did very few of their hits.. encore was West End Girls of course.

Favorite song done live was It's a Sin.

THey even did a cover of a Coldplay song.. which I found odd..

    Awesome!

    Thanks for the post; I have been a big Boys fan for many years. Did they do "Love Comes Quickly" or "Being Boring"? How about "New York City Boy"?

    I still spin their Greatest Hits "Retrospective" CD...:D

    Abso-lutely Faaaabulous!!!!
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    THey did not sing Love Comes Quickly... they did do Being Boring and New York City Boy.. the crowd loved it. It was loud and the sound system was quite good.. good bass when needed. although his voice was to forward I thought.

    One of my all-time favorite bands. And yes, they do sound just like they did in the 80's, even their latest CD "Yes" is great and sounds like it came from the 80's.

    Neil Tennant and Kylie Minogue did a song together called "In Denial". It's a great song and the two matched up very well.


    It's a crappy YouTube vid but...

    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    I saw PSB when they did a concert in San Francisco several years back. My friend had extra tickets because his sister couldn't go, so a bunch of us went instead. I knew their hits but didn't know what to expect at their show. To say I enjoyed the show would be an understatement. I'm still amazed at what they did with their cover of "Always On My Mind".

    Thanx. Being Boring is one of their most underrated tracks.
