The Pet Shop Boys have never been gone away despite the fact that many Americans (specifically, Untied States Americans) thought they broke up after their big 80s hits like "West End Girls" and "It's A Sin". Hardly. They've been recording studio albums (always filled with excellent material for their b-sides) as well as other projects including tours, soundtracks, musicals and working with other artists. But with "Yes", they enjoyed their biggest US debut in years with perhaps their most "pop" sounding album ever. The Pandemonium Tour was not all that different. While I didn't see the show in person, this DVD/CD combo makes it like I was there. It not only includes a great deal of songs from the "Yes" album, but most of their biggest hits, plus other great "pop" PSB songs. The reason I keep using the term pop is because in 2003 the Pet Shop Boys released a double CD greatest hits set called "Pop Art", dividing their huge collection of hits into the categories of "Pop" and "Art". Songs like "Always On My Mind" and "Go West" were Pop (due to not only their sound, but the supposedly "lighter" writing) while more introspective (perhaps, "smarter" songs) like "West End Girls" and "Left To My Own Devices" were deemed art. Newer hits like "Love, etc." and "Did You See Me Coming" would probably be considered pop as well. The show starts off very danceable and fun, front loaded with these upbeat and much loved "Yes" tracks. In general, the show is definitely a big fan's dream.
