I am SO at Manchester (and maybe Glasgow)
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

I don't know if I can do it. I was so bummed to see them at the Forum. I was seated so far back it could have been a DM tribute band for all I knew. Gone are the days when you could see them at the Palladium. At least over here. What kind of venues do they play over on your guy's side of the Atlantic? Anything small-ish?
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Never mind, it's the Hollywood Bowl. Now that's gonna be bad ass. I thought they were doing the Staples Center or something similar.

BF - they play pizza restaurants over here

Only joking...its all Arenas over here as well. I always get standing and get in the DM melee...its almost a religious experience. Brilliant.

I wanna see Dave sing Come Back up close.

The Rose Bowl is cool cause while it is somewhat large it still has an intimate feeling and you can bring food and wine and (in my case) pretend to be somewhat refined. It's cool having a picnic with friends before the show.

Last show (Vilvaldi) I went to at the Bowl there was a group of 60 and 70 somethings sitting in front of me passing around a rather large bottle of whiskey. Maybe getting older won't be so bad.

I would love to see DM with all their gear set up in a pizza joint. Something really cheesy like that "It's No Good" video which is classic. And apparently nowhere to be found on YouTube.

Looks like I may have wasted nearly £50.00 on a ticket...... My mate has just phoned and casually mentioned his mate is the production manager for the bloody Depeche Mode tour....... So he'll get me on the guest list ........ Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:

Looking for an excuse to brag? I am sure you will be able to sell it.
