NEW YORK (Billboard) - Pet Shop Boys had a lot to celebrate  in 2006. Their album "Fundamental" was hailed by critics as a  return to form and garnered a Grammy Award nod. This DVD, taped  November 14, 2006, in Mexico City, caps a banner year. The  nearly two-hour set is packed with hits like "West End Girls,"  "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)" and "I'm With  Stupid," and closes with the one-two punch of the epic "It's a  Sin" followed by the joyful camp of "Go West." Extras include a  classy photo gallery and an eight-minute, artsy  mini-documentary. There's also a running audio commentary of  the concert itself with group members Chris Lowe and Neil  Tennant and the film's director, David Barnard. While sometimes  informative, the participants aren't terribly chatty. But even  casual fans will enjoy the DVD, thanks to the hit-filled set  list and the ace production of the show.
