Neil and Chris are just the cutest ever. I Absolutely loved them since the very beginning. Even at their worse, they're are still amazing, and better than anything you'll hear today. I still listen to them years later and smile.
Neil once said: It was the worst television appearance we ever did in our entire life. It was The Euro Tube. We opened the whole show with 'West End girls' and I had to sing live, and it was fine. We then had to wait two hours, during which time I drank four pints of beer, then I had to sing 'Tonight is forever'. You have never heard anything worse in your entire life. You know when someone sings on the television and you say, 'wow, she really can't sing'. This was my, 'wow, he really really can't sing'. And during the drum break in the middle I couldn't think of anything to do, so I just turned my back on the camera. I thought they could film Chris."
I miss the "homemade" quality this video has--how normal the people dancing look, the guy walking in front of the camera at 1:05. Everything is so overproduced today. Love the quote you posted--Neil's definitely too hard on himself, this performance is much better than a lot of other musicians I've seen and the interview is cute.
I remember when I bought the cassette in 1985 I was what 14, 15 something like that Damn how time flys. all thats left are tme great memories. thankx for the vid..
No its just the way he presents himself he's so articulate, well spoken I use2 as a teen talk like him, he's gay, but it got me loads of girls!!!I do a good Neil impression lol!!!
@handsomedevil98: Neil was born in North Shields which is where the river Tyne meets the sea in Northumberland, he is a Geordie but doesn't have much of an accent. Living in London may of made him lose the accent. PSB were great musicians, so are Duran Duran btw.
I think his voice is fine-the sound is a bit dodgy in places-Not one out of Morrissey, Neil Tennant,Nico, John Lydon, Ian Brown, Bernard Sumner, etc etc would make it through the 1st audition of Pop Idol, and theyre probably some of the most distinctive voices of the last 30 years.
@Sche13e well, it's their first album...and we're talking about 1985...it wasn't so easy to find a good production team as today! Neil said this in their 'A Life In Pop' documentary
Is this the time that Neil and Chris had to wait around for hours, and they had a bar there, so they partook in beverages? Neil got tipsy and said he will never drink again before a performance because of it.
Neil writes about how terible his performance is on this show. He blames it on a two hour delay in the first and second song....He drank 4 pints! He said he wanted this to be a single but this ruined it.
Hello! I hope someone can help me with my search. There was a video of a live rare performance of PSB Opportunities and I'm confident this was the venue and the same clothes. Chris wears yellow jacket but instead of playing the synth, he's beating the shit out of 2 electronic drums (whatever they're called) and he doesn't miss a beat. The YT account of the person that uploaded it was removed, hence removed from my PSB playlist. It was probably #2 of my all time favorite videos. If anyone has that video, would you PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA TH-cam EMAIL! THANK you so much!!
see Chris lowe diss Neil about the hat at the start of the song!!! as in take in off!!! they so oppsosite to each other its ace!!! but after Very they did lose their misteeque!!!!!
Shut Up what would you know your probably 1 of those haters that just doesn't understand what amazing Artist and Live Singer Neil Tennant was!. For your information Bud he is still going strong till today and that's that.
He said this was their worst ever performance 😂He had to wait for 2 hours between songs (West End Girls beforehand) and had too much to drink whilst he was waiting! Rather like Bowie’s drunk Soul Train appearance. 😂
+kyrei bell I bet he never did that again. Neil was being interviewed and probably didn't realise that he drank those four pints of beer. Plus having to wait two hours for the boys performance and he may have been nervous.
Neil and Chris are just the cutest ever. I Absolutely loved them since the very beginning. Even at their worse, they're are still amazing, and better than anything you'll hear today. I still listen to them years later and smile.
The album, Please, released on this day in 1986. Still one of my all-time favourites.
These two guys shaped my life.
WOW! even now in 2023, this sounds amazing
This is an historic document, everybody got to start somewhere.
This music is forever.
The nervousness in his voice only adds to it.
I remember liking those hats like Neil was wearing. I will always love them......😊💞💟 Bring the '80's back.....😢
Neil couldnt be more adorable!
This is great, their best song by far!! 😁👍
I miss the 80's... decadent, confident and very colorful. :)
shit! the whole "Please" album is spectacular and a classic!!!!
"tonight is forever! tell me now you don't disagree! tonight is forever! open the door, you hold the key!" :)
I love that this is actually live.
The Tube was 100% live. Essential viewing on Fridays in the 80s.
Absolutely golden performance!❤️❤️
the whole lot is incredibly british luv it! ahh the 80's
One of my favourites of theirs and the Liza Minnelli version is brilliant too
This should've been released as a single.
Bigtime bro
@@goodygumdrops2105 there are two intros = though
Agree!

lol! but in my opinion this performance is really really nice ♡
He's way too hard on himself.
I like even Neil didn't like. They are so great even he was drunk.
+S-E-C-A I figured he must have been a little tipsy after having 4 pints of beer beforehand. lol

I went out and bought a Ciao jacket (yellow one) Chris Lowe wore in Paninaro as they were ace! ... great tracks for life.
Was Ciao the Brand or just the Style? I like the Jacket too but can't find them anywhere
Lindo demais!Nei Tennant com carinha de tímido!

Amooooooo de paixão PET SHOP BOYS!!!!

I still love Neil's beautiful & unique voice. 나는 닐 보다는 어리지만, 고교때부터 중년인 지금까지도 닐의 아름다운 목소리를 사랑한다.
Me too👍
Remember buying Please on LP for the first time in 1991. Life was never the same again...lol.
EMULATOR II😍🥰
i remeber this song being played in school dances and proms for ages ......i can tell he's been drinking ..... but still not bad
It doesn't sound bad at all. You wouldn't guess he'd drunk all that beer.
Mark Hopwood thank god it wasn’t wine 🍷 x 4
I remember when I bought the cassette in 1985 I was what 14, 15 something like that Damn how time flys. all thats left are tme great memories. thankx for the vid..

Y love Pet Shop Boys.
Kiss Kiss by by.
No its just the way he presents himself he's so articulate, well spoken I use2 as a teen talk like him, he's gay, but it got me loads of girls!!!I do a good Neil impression lol!!!

@@jane1975 so he's got a Londoner accent?
The whole album is good!!!!
Muito novinho Neil Tennant com aparência bem ingênua, mas isso não tira o brilho da interpretação!
Pet Shop Boys is forever!❤❤❤❤
❤
I cant help thinking that Neil is trying to look like Savage (Italo Disco singer) with his hat !!!!.
Even their worst performance is better than mediocre...
Я думаю, у них всегда был упор на естестенность. Во многом
I'm straight but sayin Neil is soo cool sweet, use2 copy him like hell when I was in school!
i love this version
1:13 Sunny Chris invigorates Neal. Even..is sobering ☺👌, he was waiting there behind the keyboard
I remember watching this!
The Tube was great.
watched this when it first aired.... tube brilliant program.
Que ternurita
Funny how in their early appearances it was often Neil wearing a hat, with Chris bare headed!
I think his voice is fine-the sound is a bit dodgy in places-Not one out of Morrissey, Neil Tennant,Nico, John Lydon, Ian Brown, Bernard Sumner, etc etc would make it through the 1st audition of Pop Idol, and theyre probably some of the most distinctive voices of the last 30 years.
1:05 XD XD XD XD that poor technician!
Hey Guys they Remixed the Song and Put it into their new album 'Yes'! and it's great. the Album's really good, go and listen!!!
oh. Chris playing on an Emulator II+. so cool =D
¡¡¡¡cantando en vivo!!!!
Northern boy best ones why! Am from Newcastle
Thanks a lot for posting pertan, great video!
Bravi !
@Sche13e well, it's their first album...and we're talking about 1985...it wasn't so easy to find a good production team as today! Neil said this in their 'A Life In Pop' documentary
Brilliant
Всё просто а потому гениально
really good
THis is a great track. cool thing they didnt just play some single
Myslim jejích 1, výkon live z alba please 1985
Neil the sun darkens when you come
Neil said in the liner notes to Please (Remaster Edition 2001) that this is PSB:s worst television appearance ever. I dont it's that bad.
he starts a bit crap but it's fine by the end. Chris trying to undermine Neil right at the beginning... interesting brief moment...
Maybe both were tipsy?
Is this the time that Neil and Chris had to wait around for hours, and they had a bar there, so they partook in beverages? Neil got tipsy and said he will never drink again before a performance because of it.
I actually prefer this to Suburbia!
this is before 86... trust me....i remember watching this on c4....
It is 1986. She askes if this will be the next single. "No, Suburbia" So between Opportunities and Suburbia it's still 1986.
Neil in his prime
sound is terrible but its a great song......................best track on please
DURAN DURAN !!!
Neil drank to much beers. Lol! :D
Gin ....
Is the presenter Muriel Gray
Jools Holland

Wow he sounds terrible. Amazing what studio technicians can do to improve things.
Piss off !
lol he was drunk....he drank 2 quarts of beer .....
Neil Tennant isn't the greatest livesinger, but this performance is really awful
SHUT UP IDIOT
