I’ve spoken to quite a few people who are stoked to see Depeche Mode live on their Sounds Of The Universe-supporting Tour Of The Universe. Last night the guys offered a taste of what to expect at Lollapalooza, etc., though hopefully the sound’s better at Lollapalooza, etc. At certain points you can barely hear Dave Gahan and the instrumentation never really throttles on two tracks (newbie “Wrong” and a song called “Personal Jesus”) that really should throttle and/or whip you.
“Wrong”
“Personal Jesus”
It’s OK to call it a come back.

I will admit it, I am one of the old people who is immensely excited to see DM at Lolla this year.
We heard you the first time grandpa.
“Playing the Angel” is the better album, but it definitely seems that they’ve managed a David Bowie-style”conquer your demons and settle into a skillfully-crafted musical middle age” transition.
I was at the show.
The sound was way better live than it sounded on Jimmy Kimmel.
They played a 7 song set. Really cool night.
What other songs did they do?
Set List:
?Wrong??
?Personal Jesus??
?Walking in My Shoes??
?Come Back??
?Peace??
?Enjoy the Silence??
?Never Let me Down Again?
Just bought my tix for the San Diego August show!!! Can’t wait to see them again, last time was 1993! Jesus, we were all young back then
why is Shia LaBeouf up on stage singing Depeche Mode songs?
I think you mean “why is Dave Gahan in Transformers?”
You forgot Tue, 08/04/09 @ Madison Square Garden – Can’t wait!
