Energetic and nostalgic - leaves you wanting more

PSB have so many great hits, there's only so much you can pack in a 2h concert. The show starts slow but quickly builds up with impressive performance from the band. Tennant's voice is - as always - amazing and seems unchanged even when performing old classics like Domino Dancing, Opportunities or Jealousy. Nothing seems to be left behind, great hits like Left to My Own Devices, Rent, Paninaro and Go West sound amazing and will surely give you thrills if you're a fan.

Some of the most notable tunes will spark some remembrance even to oblivious nonfans.

I've you've never heard of Pet Shop Boys before but you like 80's electronic dance music, this is a concert that you must see. This of this as old-age Daft Punk, but better.

6/10
A fairly decent concert film.

I'm a fairly big fan of Pet Shop Boys, and am very familiar with their first five albums, so I got a kick out of hearing most of the songs here. They rarely have these live versions sounding better or even as good as the studio versions, but it mostly sounded good throughout. I feel like if I went to this concert, I would have come away mostly happy, and because a concert film isn't ever going to be as exciting as a concert (unless it's particularly well-filmed and put together), I came away from this decently happy.

Also, I kept wondering throughout when they were going to play West-End Girls, Go West, Being Boring, and It's a Sin, and then what do I know - we hear them all in the encore. There was also one song I was unfamiliar with that I honestly thought was a bit awful, but now I don't remember any of the words or the melody, and I don't care to remind myself by trying to find the name of that song. Sorry!
