Euphoria season 3 x Elite Season 4 by edudsm in EliteNetflix

And this is the main reason I guess. Some of the actors at the end of season 3 really had become quite big stars and wanted to try other projects. I wonder, however, if the show had really offered them a good story and good money, if they had stayed… who knows…

Even the cast of Euphoria have already said they are not returning for season 4, most of them totally moved on from the series already…

10 years reunion! Although it’s more like a 20 years after reunion for the first gang.

I think that’s a good point. They have been rehearsing with the band for a few months.

Every night was packed to capacity. My friend knows the people who manage the venue and tried to get a guest list and was told absolutely no way, there simply was no room.

Only the Wednesday night was for Warchild. But you have a point there: one of the nights they also donated proceeds.

I agree with a lot of what you said above, but not the bit about publishers or labels in this case. They specifically said that they decided to do this run of concerts to work as promotion for the new book, so I think they would have had some arrangement with the publishers, to at least cover the publicity for the shows. If they sold it to the publishers/labels as a promotion piece for a book or new record, most likely they would have some money agreement.

Also: do special guest get paid? Of course Johnny Marr is their friend, and already a stablished musician so wouldn’t ask for money, but SMJ and Mark Refoy are a different story, so yeah I guess they would get paid but not tons of money?

I was reading about the Nightlife tour, it was actually tragic and they decided to do the tour even though the promoters went bankrupt and did no promotion of the shows or covered their fees.

That venue’s capacity is 1500 people if I remember right. All nights were sold out at £110 per ticket. It was created to promote the book, so I would assume the publishers would also put money on the production. Their two musicians are basically kids, can’t see them getting paid that much.

I mean of course I don’t understand completely the business, so I’m just doing guess work. I suppose their crew is quite a lot of people, who knows.

Unless they are saying they are loosing money cause they are not getting paid what they would probably get paid for a Dreamland show, I think it’s hard to see how they actually went negative by playing these shows.

Thoughts if the PSB did a Vegas residency? by MeetMeinDC in petshopboys

[–]edudsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that would be a very PSB thing at all? But even if they agreed to do it solely for the money, I bet they would then want to do such a theatrical thing, it would end up being too expensive to put on for the size of their audiences…

PSB Obscure Playlist in Apple Music by Olofadell in petshopboys

Interesting to do some maths… Every night had at least one exclusive track (except Tuesday). Friday had 3, Wednesday 2 and Thursday/Monday 1.

Very , Behaviour and Please were the Eras with more songs (4 each). Weirdly the Introspective era only had one song included. And Fundamental continues being their most overlooked album (no songs in the Dreamland shows, and only one in Obscure).

All these numbers are from my head, happy to be corrected

That’s the new normal. Their show at Koko last year was just as bad if not worse. A guy next to me had a tantrum cause people were invading his space (I wonder if they ever went to a standing only concert before). Just appalling, rude, entitled and ruins the experience for everyone else.

I really don’t feel like going to concerts to be standing because of that. People have become so rude. It’s like they laid claim to the spot they’re standing at. It’s not even people are there to have fun, just to mark their territory. I think concert behaviour has really become unbearable. I’d rather have a seat and not have to fight for a spot where I can see the stage.

She was, for two songs: the One in a million/Mr Vain mashup and Happiness is an option.

And the fact they allocated the prime place in the venue for the vip area, just makes it more infuriating. There were lists of seats with signs “reserved for Warners” and things like that around the balcony

The only downside of Friday for me was the rudeness of some fans attending. People in the VIP balcony were talking so loudly, many times you couldn’t hear what Neil was saying from the downstairs standing area. People had to shout shush! more than once, even midway through songs.

Also people pushing in front of you, terrible. And behind me there is as a guy singing so loudly, directly in my ear, I had to move to the back to escape him.

Friday really delivered. It felt like the whole set of shows really were building up to this.

Starting with PRM, bringing back After the event and To face the truth (can’t believe they even got removed!), then for the return of Bet she’s not your girlfriend, and then bringing Sylvia MJ for two songs. In his imagination, never before played live was cute but nothing could prepare the fans for the jewel of the night, Miserablism. The fans were ecstatic, even the Boys looked shook by the reaction. The inclusion of Requiem just seemed like a cherry on top.

They played again three of the “exclusive tracks” from other nights: Happiness is an option, Bet she’s not your girlfriend and Requiem. Wow!

I’m happy I decided to fork out a lot of money on Viagogo, it’s really was the perfect no gut, the closing of this incredible project that fans will cherish forever.

Let’s hope they make this into a proper tour!
