A significant moment in Pet Shop Boys’ history is being made available to fans again. Discovery: Live In Rio 1994 arrives for the first time as a DVD and 2CD set on 30 April documenting the duo’s first visit to the Brazilian city during their tour of Singapore, Australia and Latin America.
Featuring dancers, backing singer Katie Kissoon and two Latin percussionists, the concert was filmed by Brazilian director Roberto Berliner with a local TV crew in December 1994 on SD video.
Chris Lowe said of the show: “We’re more free-spirited on this tour. We party on down. It’s not a totally choreographed, staged and rehearsed show. I suppose it is more rock and roll in its attitude. You get to express yourself. [Laughs]. And to take your clothes off.”
