We took our son to see "Strangelove: the Ultimate Tribute to Depeche Mode" last night and it was surprisingly very well done.
The good:
-"Dave Gahan" was spot on vocally as he sounded exactly as Gahan did the last two times I've seen DM live and had his mannerisms down pat. If you squinted he looked like Jimmy Fallon doing Dave Gahan.
-Tribute Andy Fletcher was slightly less useless than real Andy Fletcher as he could clap in time and sing as well.
-Excellent set list which included Photographic, If You Want and Behind the Wheel/Route 66
-The sound of the songs was very close to the studio versions and very well done
-We weren't the oldest people there
The bad:
- I'm guessing "Martin L. Gore" was an Elton John impersonator before finding success as a Martin L. Gore impersonator.
All in all we had a great time, more than a few laughs and it was borderline my son's dream set list.

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
