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!
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.
West End Girls is ahead of its time. The rhythm, the bassline-so tight and smooth. The tempo is perfect, and the synths create such an atmospheric vibe. Neil's voice, that dry delivery, gives it so much character. This track still sounds fresh. A true masterpiece.
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.
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
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
This is easily one of the very best versions I've heard of this incredible song.

Air percussion, check out Lou Reed Sweet Jane live Paris 1974, air tamborine right at the beginning. LoL
A beautiful and soft version but the orchester is too strong I think
Needs more cowbell
