Enjoying The Silence

Depeche Mode's new album may be "stadium songs, clarion calls to their fans" (Rolling Stone) but that didn't stop the band from rocking a rare club gig Friday night. Reports are trickling in today. Mozlibrarian caught Dave Gahan arriving at the venue and Brooklyn Vegan was at the performance with his camera.

Here's the setlist (via Audrey):

Intro / A Pain That I'm Used To / John The Revelator / A Question Of Time / Policy Of Truth / Precious / Walking In My Shoes / Suffer Well / Damaged People / Home / I Want It All / The Sinner In Me / I Feel You / Behind The Wheel / World In My Eyes / Personal Jesus
Encore: Enjoy The Silence
Play some Playing The Angel at MySpace. "Precious" is really growing on me.

totally. He hasn't gone all bloated on us like Robert Smith or dude from Echo & the Bunnymen. I can't wait to see DM live again.

Precious is a great fucking song. Especially hits home if you're married with children. Martin wrote it for his kids in the middle of this divorce. The lyrics are just fucking brilliant.

I wish I'd have gotten to the show. I also wish they were playing Philly.

I was there. Even though it was a small club they rocked it like the Rose Bowl. Only wierd thing was that the stage was so small that Dave was like a caged rat....pent up energy with nowhere to go. That and the WALL of 6 iMac taking up the entire left side of the Bowery floor (they had too much stuff for the regular soundbooth so they had to make thier own).

"still so danged hot"? To me it looks like he's slowly morphing into Joe Pesci.
