Placebo - Soulmates Never Die: Live In Paris 2003 PSP

Every so often it all comes together. Band, crowd, venue and the music itself. Always the music. But each element has its own part to play. Without one the rest is nothing. Alchemy, they sometimes call it. Sometimes they also call it a great show.When Placebo took to the stage on October 18th 2003, before 16,000 up-for-it-fans, everyone just knew. There was something in the air, along with several thousand arms. The ensuing hour and a half journey through the band's career moved effortlessly from the anthemic euphoria of favourites pure morning, the bitter end and taste in men to the cathartic drama of tracks such as Peeping Tom and Protege Moi. The latter managing to achieve a poignant, vulnerable intimacy, despite or quite possibly because of the vastness of the surroundings.By the time Frank Black arrived onstage for the show-stopping finale Where Is My Mind - nobody wanted the night to end, least of all Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Steve Hewitt. Everyone was relieved that the whole thing had been captured on film: a permanent, lasting record - one of which soulmates never die.Live set list:Bullet ProofAllergicEvery You Every MeBionicProtege MoiPlasticineBitter EndSoulmatesBlack-EyedI'll Be YoursSpecial NeedsEnglish Summer RainWithout You I'm NothingThis PictureSpecial KTaste In MenSlave To The WagePeeping TomPure MorningCentrefoldsWhere Is My Mind?WARNING: The content on this UMD includes a strobing effect which may affect viewers with photo-sensitive epilepsy or other such condition.
