'Concrete' is the Pet Shop Boys' first concert CD released and it featured a performance at Mermaid Theatre for Radio 2 with the BBC Concert Orchestra on Monday on the 8th of May, 2006. The two-CD set featured Robbie Williams (Groan), Frances Barber on two tracks. And it also featured tracks off their latest album 'Fundamental', a track off their soundtrack, 'Battleship Potemkin', a track off their musical 'Closer to Heaven' and more. All in all, this was quite a disparate package and it came across as rather discordant. A full-fledged orchestra, synths and more. It simply didn't work for me.
I had ripped the audio off other Pet Shop Boys concert DVDs like 'Montage', 'Somewhere', 'Performance' and put them on CD-Rs, those worked a lot better than 'Concrete'. Far more listenable.
