Concrete was released in 2006 as a live album by Pet Shop Boys, recorded with the BBC Concert Orchestra at the Mermaid Theatre in London. The project reinterpreted material from across the duo’s catalogue with full orchestral arrangements.
Robbie Williams appeared as a guest vocalist on the performance of Jealousy. Joining Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe on stage, Williams contributed to the live rendition of the song, which had originally appeared on the Pet Shop Boys’ 1990 album Behaviour.
The orchestral arrangement of Jealousy highlighted the dramatic qualities of the composition, with Williams’ presence adding a distinct vocal texture to the performance. The collaboration reflected a continuing association between Williams and Pet Shop Boys during the mid 2000s, following their work together on She’s Madonna.
Concrete showcased Pet Shop Boys’ catalogue in a symphonic setting, and Williams’ guest appearance stands as a notable live collaboration within his wider body of work.
