07:51 | Lima, Oct. 21 (ANDINA).
English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys put on a fantastic light and sound show to the delight of thousands of Peruvian fans who flocked to Lima’s Jockey Club del Perú facilities on Tuesday.
The Pet Shop Boys brought their Pandemonium Tour to the Jockey Club on Tuesday night. The event was a theatrical production with a stage covered with lots of white cubes.
Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe performed with cubes on their heads for the opening song "Heart" from the 1987 album "Actually".
The back up singers/dancers wore cube outfits for most of the show. The stage cubes ended up being the video screen for most of the show until the performance of "Building A Wall", the wall of cubes fall apart.
Even the road crew wearing white lab coats and safety helmets to move items around between songs keeping up with the theme adding to the already unique and entertaining show.
The rest of the show was complete with video displays, strobe lights confetti, dancers and a half of dozen wardrobe changes.
The Pet Shop Boys performed several songs from the latest album "Yes" such as "Pandemonium", "Love Etc", "All Over The World" and "Did You See Me Coming".
Neil donned a tux for a slow swim through "Closer to Heaven", "King's Cross" and "The Way It Used To Be". It's on these tunes that the aundience could realize the duo is better than ever today.
The British pop duo entertained the crowd with their older hits such as "Go West" and "New York City Boy". But the crowd erupted for "Always on My Mind" and "It's a Sin", which was the first set finale.
A very satisfying version of their first big hit "West End Girls" closed out the show.
Pet Shop Boys has had over 20 years of success in the music industry, recording 10 studio albums, a slew of remix and compilation albums, and releasing over 55 singles.
With singles ranging from originals like “West End Girls” and “Rent” to popular covers including Elvis Presley’s “Always on My Mind,” Pet Shop Boys solidified a place in the pop/dance music scene, continuing to expand the electronic music genre.
