All things Depeche Mode

[Young blood]

C'mon chubbs was being snarky and catty with out being blunt. So I was. He knows what he was doing.

[sbessiso]

That wasn't very PLUR, you annoying member.

It's ok. He's right, you know. Although, I am capable of some unexpected surprises

DEPECHE F'ING MODE!

Crowd @ DM Tampa '09 > @ Ft. Lauderdale '09 > @ Atlanta '05 > @ Coachella '06

[fatbastard]

No kidding! I was like "Did you guys just see that??"

Also, they has this REALLY groovy t-shirt that said DEPECHE MODE MASTER & SERVANT and it had gold chains on it but they didnt have XL. The shirt isnt in the online store, do you think it'll pop up there eventually?

I HAVE to buy the recording

That sounds like an old shirt.

[suprefan]

That sounds like an old shirt.

Clear your PM box....

[sbessiso]

That sounds like an old shirt.

I NEED IT

IT'S A LOT
it's a lot
ITS a LOT

like life!

[fatbastard]

I wouldn't mind owning that shirt.

So remind me again why their Coachella 06 was considered so awful? I'm watching youtubes of it now and I gotta say it looks pretty fucking rad.

I'm never ever going to forgive myself for not seeing them that year

[fatbastard]

Their set was fine musically in 06. I personally had an issue with the brightness of the lights. At some points, I could not even see the band. That’s how bright the white lights were.

Nothing you can do about it. At least you got to see them. Trust me, you got to see them. Not a bunch of guys, who used to be awesome, then started touring 20 years later just to make money, and lacked the same stamina to perform.

[sbessiso]

You're absolutely right and have a great point.

It's just....something happened to me this weekend. I can't fully explain it but my love for DM increased ten-fold. The show really had an effect on me, it was just....transcendent. I can HEAR their music so much better, like a switch somewhere in my brain was turned on. I can hear every single beat and sound on its own as well as a whole with all the other layers. I just GET them so much more now. They have made a mighty leap on my list of favorite bands.

Show was Saturday night, on Sunday the only thing I was able to do was lay in my bed and listen to them (101 and Music for the Masses specifically). I was still in such a daze from the show, but that night I finally forced myself out of the house. I have a chunk of music of theirs that I just havent gotten around to listening to so on my bus ride home I put on Playing the Angel for the first time. When A Pain That I'm Used To started blasting through my headphones it made my eyes roll into the back of my head and I just had to put my head down, the rest of the album had a similar effect on me.

Even on Monday I was still slightly in a daze, I was just on a cloud the whole time at work. Singing Question of Time and spinning around in between customers. I'm just now starting to feel normal again but my obsession with DM is strong and powerful. This is not going to go away anytime soon

The show was just so....transcendent (it seems to be the best word I can find to describe it). I feel like this is what people like Dylan and Ryan talk about when they mention their Tool shows. Guys know what I mean?

The crowd sucked.

Dave's voice wasnt spot on, they were trying to be into it. The crowd as mentioned wasnt that good. The Robots ruled the weekend. even though the close minded idiots on DM forum thought it was sooo amazing and thought every other act that weekend sucked. They even had a webcast viewing party, thats pretty pitiful.

[gaypalmsprings]

The crowd was too large at Coachella. I only saw them on the monitors & I was distracted by the light show. This time around I could see them, and I could enjoy them. I still think the Kimmel show was great for me as well.

[sbessiso]

I cannot this enough



SKIP TO THE 4:08 PART!!!!!


Did they do that every night?!?!?!

For being such a short amount of time, Jimmy Kimmel was a great set. I was listening to The Singles 86>98 last night on the iPod. I'm about to continue on with Stripped.

[captncrzy]

Ahaa, that was cute. They do different things together, you just have to watch them.

Also:

[sbessiso]

It's just so great to see them enjoy each other's company even after all this time. so PLUR

[amyzzz]

SALAH, have you watched the 101 documentary/concert film yet??

[sbessiso]

I havent!! I'm netflixing it but I also really just wanna buy it

I hated the Jimmy Kimmel set show. But think it was because were closer and there were alot of VIP "W" people in the crowd therefore the experience was not the same for those who were in the back.

I wish we could see the whole mini set they did, and not just the two we saw on Kimmel.

[amyzzz]

I have it on DVD and VHS. haha.

[sbessiso]

Awwwwwwwwww Martin eating pizza!

The ones worth sharing, definitely.

Yup! More pictures of the same scene. They seem like such nice people haha

Remember when they first announced these tour dates all that time ago? I initially wrote off the South Florida shows because it was the last of the tour and I just KNEW they were going to be tired and phone it in. I still cant believe how much energy they had and how great they sounded and most of all they were still having a blast. Just thoroughly impressive on every level

[amyzzz]

Did you get the toe-sucking background video for one of the songs?

[sbessiso]

Negative. They didn't play "Strangelove" both times I saw them. I also really want to hear Everything Counts

[amyzzz]

OHHH it was for Strangelove? ALL IS CLEAR NOW.

[amyzzz]

We missed the hip thrusts during "I like to practice what I preach." I must remember that from the 101 video.
