Erasure In Puerto Rico

On 13th July Erasure performed in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The show began with 2 hours of music and videos from the 80's, close to 11 pm the concert started. Andy spoke in Spanish between songs making the audience crazy. He made jokes and nice commentaries about his feelings through the concert. Andy shacked hands and talked to people a lot. The set list was the same as Miami one including "Stop!" as the last song. Two new things in Puerto Rico: Andy shaved his head and the stage didn‘t have any glitter (thanks to EIS members diamondtear and synth-pop for the info).
