Its no sin to love the 80's. And that's probably why over half the crowd was over 40. As per Wikipedia, "Pet Shop Boys have sold about 100 million records worldwide. Since 1986, they have had 42 Top 30 singles and 22 Top 10 hits in the UK". They recently won the 2009 BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. Speaks enough about their 3 decade history.
The concert featured tons of props, including Robots, dancers with Cubeheads, breakable Concert Stage, Fruity Hats, dramatic changes in costume. Even the crew fixing the sound looked liked scientists - wearing Lab coats, construction hats and safety goggles.

The Concert Stage was an ad-hoc arrangement of white blocks joined together to form a wall. In the mid of the concert, the crew would jump through the blocks, breaking the wall, climb on top of it, or even pull it to the ceiling, with rotating cubes in the air.

Robots singing and playing the synthesizers during Pet Shop Boy's hit single 'Heart'. And this is just the starting of the concert. From the point of props used on the concert stage, this concert would top the list of shows I have seen. Definitely a unique experience.
In btw, these robots are actually twins - female dancers who revealed their faces later on in the concert.

Chris Lowe in his futuristic setup. During 'Two Divided Bt Zero', this display started to show math symbols. Pretty cool!
