The Obligatory Depeche Mode thread

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

I'm not too hopeful about the show happening in L.A.

Dave is falling apart.
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

You'd think they would have learned 767 shows in 32 days isn't a good idea.

He looked good in the Lollapalooza photos from last Friday's show. Didn't read any reviews of how he sounded though.

Apparently, their show in Seattle rocked. And day after, Martin Gore showed up at a local music shop, bought about a dozen CDs...and actually went behind the counter and rang up a few customers.

OK, this was the first time I'd ever seen 'em. I know, I know.

Dave in fine form ... got a bit croaky near the end, but considering ... He handed off all the choruses to the audience, plus martin stepped in on "Shake the Disease."
Major mike stand twirling, plus dave in a vest and scarf.

The videos they projected on the screens were fun, but I would've rather seen more of the band actually singing.

Because I can't remember what all they sang, and in what order, here's the set list from the DM forum:

01 in chains
02 wrong
03 hole to feed
04 wims
05 its no good
06 a question of time
07 precious
08 fly on the windscreeen
09 little soul
10 a question of lust
11 miles away/the truth is
12 policy of truth
13 in your room
14 i feel you
15 enjoy the silence
16 never let me down again
17 shake the disease - martin singing
18 stripped
19 behind the wheel
20 personal jesus
21 waiting for the night

I was hoping for Master and Servant, which they apparently sang the first night at the Bowl, but I got Behind the Wheel, which I love, so that was great.

BTW, T-shirts were $40!
