As i was watching the show It felt like I was playing a giant game of tetris !! i will never look at cardboard boxes the same way again !!
They played almost all the hits! They did at least one song from every album.

Favourite moment: Two Divided By Zero. Neil chatting with "us" etc. "Heart" being played whilst the performers all donned cubed heads was a really striking image. @

Okay, so we had to listen to the DJ's uninspiring trance tunes for an hour past start ... but that is a concert. Once the lights went down, I knew it was Pandemonium time!
The set was minimal (Chris approved) and this was appropriate. The lighting was amazing and the use of graphic imagery really supported but didn't distract from the song in the mind. The costumes were original and sooo cool. Neil sounded amazing and the PSB persona was so exciting to witness live.
The set list was a perfect balance of new and favourites, with some surprizes that were exceptionally delightful. "Do I Have To" made a tasteful and heartful appearance, as did "King's Cross" and the dancers and choreography for "Jealousy" were beautiful and elegant. Neil's costume changes were intriguing ... loved the King's crown and cape do. They always know how to illustrate the landscape that their music occupies. Chris' clothing and cameo dance moment were great too ... look, he IS animate!!!! :)
My favourite inclusion was "Two Divided By Zero". All the songs were delivered with gusto and panache ... that's PSB in a nutshell: style and substance. I wish other artists could nail that as well as these two do. Neil once said he wanted to be a pop star because he wanted to be loved, it looked like a fun thing to be, and that he always knew he could do it. I love that appraisal. And he was dead right! The dancers were truly part of the pastiche here as well, and it was a sense of community presenting their music and sharing it with their audience. Yes ... I give it a 9.5 out of 10. The only thing I thought could have been better was the sound level, which may have been limited by the venue design. It was a bit loud and slightly distorted/clipped at points. Oh, and one more thing .. the digital visuals were perfect. I LIKED it etc.

Only problem is that it's too loud...you can barely hear the vocals, they need to turn the sound down so there's not so much distortion and feedback

I 've been to some top stars concert (Prince, GunsNRoses etc...) this Pet Shop Boys concert is the best. They used simple boxes as a background and only 4 dancers. Good combinations of songs and very good visual effect. BEST concert in 2009.

For those of us who keep a list of must see concert acts, it is imperative and highly recommended to include the Pet Shop Boys and their North American tour. The plus twenty years of being performers pays off for concert goers. Truly remarkable and brilliant! This tour encompasses not only the incredible hits of PSB through the years, but also highlights great new songs from their recent album Yes. A remarkable and simple set design concept and amazing lighting and support elements make for a great experience. Time to change your top ten favorite concert experiences of all time, because the PSB's will be high on your list. Highly recommended!

First time they've been to Canada I think, but certainly first time to Vancouver. The show was quite well done - not extravagant, but certainly engaging. The sound was loud enough, and clean and clear for the most part. The props were a marvel of simplicity and ingenuity. The venue (Centre for Performing Arts) is a nice one, in that the slope to the seating floor allows you to see over the person in front of you. glad to have been there!

With an overall original sense of "The Wall" - the visuals on the cubes ....CUBES AND MORE CUBES - great visuals on the CUBES.....and the CUBE heads, but along with the great costume changes, and the great sound, this show was all around a dance fest!

Great music - exactly what one would expect. Our only complaint is that the tickets indicated 8:00 pm as the start of the performance but the Pet Shop Boys did not begin until 9:00 pm. Consequently we spent over an hour listening to recorded music from the stage. Rather disappointing.

Over 20 years since West End Girls and the boys are still putting on a show! The staging was wonderful, the dancers fantastic, and Neal can still belt out those songs. The energy in the crowd was great with lots of dancing going on. Well worth the wait but let's hope they're back sooner!

It has been alongtime coming but the Pet Shop Boys (PSB) finally made it to Vancouver and we loved it! Such an amazing visual show and the Boys still have it. The new album YES! might be there best ever.
Please come back anytime PSBoys. Vancouver loves you and many friends were sad that it was sold out.

I have been to many concerts but the Pet Shop Boys on Saturday at the Center was one of the most amazing concerts I have ever been to. The sound was phenominal and it was a perfect venue for their music. The stage and light show was awesome and a bonus was the amazing dancers and cheography, it was like being at a Vegas show only much better. The audience stood for the whole show and I don't think there was single person that went home unaffected by such brillient showmanship. I only wish I could have gone to Seattle on Sunday and seen them again.
