Placebo played 2 nights at Brooklyn Steel (pics, setlist)

UK band Placebo launched their first North American tour in nearly nine years last week -- dates postponed from last year -- and that just hit NYC for two sold-out shows at Brooklyn Steel on Monday and Tuesday. The tour is supporting 2022's Never Let Me Go, and they played nearly all of it, peppering in older tracks like "The Bitter End," "Bionic," "Slave to the Wage," and more. (Nothing from Without You I'm Nothing, though.) Their encore included their covers of Tears for Fears' "Shout" and Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)."
