Depeche Mode

We just got back from seeing Depeche Mode at the Hollywood Bowl. Great show and inventive set design. The lights and neon kept the mood and a ball in the middle of the center screen made a lot of the video footage pop out of the screen. They played lots of songs from Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion, our two favorite albums, as well as lots of their 80s tunes and some from the new album. Unfortunately, Dave Gahan's voice was a bit shaky (they canceled their San Diego show on Friday), but Martin Gore stepped in and the crowd helped out a lot. All in all a very good night.
