All things Depeche Mode

[CrimesceneCookie]

Dave looked like a beat up boxer last night. Nevertheless, the wife wants to go see them (him).

that Letterman performance bummed me out... what happened to that band I was obsessed with as a teen?
I guess I can't blame them for not doing the same old thing.

So what are everyone's thoughts on the album stream? I dig it. Not a huge departure from the last album IMO.

[JorgeC]

wowowowwowowowow. I have to pick this up next month when i'm in Berlin.

Haha, I love how Dave and Andy are standing so stoically and Martin has this goofy grin on his face.

[JorgeC]

are you coming to IAMX on 5/15 at the Fonda?

[nosurprises12]

I hadn't heard about it tbh, but your sig seems to indicate that they get the Jorge Seal of Approval!

[suprefan]

Crystal Castles will be the opener for the North American tour dates....

[ocbruin84]

Nice.

So no one cared much for the album?

[amyzzz]

Oh whoops. I forgot to listen to it. Is it any good?

[zeppelin77]

You can stream it on itunes: http://search.itunes.apple.com/WebOb...th=DepecheMode

Does anyone know, historically, which presale offers the best seats (they all start at different dates, too):
-- facebook presale (new to me)
-- amazon presale (new to me)
-- citi presale
-- live nation/venue/radio station presale
-- or general onsale

The one that you get tickets with......

October 6th
the Pearl Concert Theater
Las Vegas

[gaypalmsprings]

I plan on going to both Staples concerts. Already excited.

[captncrzy]

I think I'm going to opt for seeing them at the Pearl rather than seeing them in my own backyard.

We should make a trip of it. I'm due for a return to Vegas. I found out last night I'm getting all access VIP to the Shoreline date with my best friend.

[captncrzy]

Are you serious???? How the hell did you pull that? I'm dying for VIP access so I can meet them, even if it's only for a minute at the meet and greet.

SOMEBODY HOOK ME UP!!!!

Also, yeah, I already booked our room at the Palms. $89/night.

[Miroir Noir]

If they don't do SLC around the same time, I'm down for that trip.

My friend's MIL works there.

Yess! The Palms, eh? What's the fireplace-hot tub situation there?

[captncrzy]

No idea. My goal when I go to Vegas now is to avoid leaving the hotel altogether, so staying in the hotel is ideal since the venue is downstairs.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

The Palms has an incredible steakhouse, N9ne, totally recommend it!

[Miroir Noir]

Honestly, my favorite thing about Vegas is the dining.

[CrystalCastlesFreak]

I'm heading to both the LA shows so I can see Crystal Castles perform at the Staples Center

[amyzzz]

That sounds like an excellent idea.

[JorgeC]

The Pearl will be amazing. I'm sure tickets will be much more expensive since it's a smaller venue. Even if I don't get a ticket, i'll go and try to find one there. Worked last time and I had a great seat for $150.

I live in Vegas, the Pearl is an amazing venue, but unless you get GA, don't do this. Vegas brings a terrible crowd that never stops fucking talking in the seats. Never. Stops.

[ElBlueblazer]

fuck!!! $160-$220 @ the pearl. That is too expensive for me.

[captncrzy]

Ooof. They're really that much? I may need to rethink this.


CARA JUST GET ME VIP ACCESS TO THAT GODDAMN SHORELINE SHOW

[ElBlueblazer]

I got the prices from Citylife, It's LV's alt weekly.

[bemerritt]

Sorry if it has been mentioned, but I bought via amazon presale and am a bit confused how this gained me presale access. Anybody else go this route?

Ps, on first listen, liking the album quite a bit.

[sonnyboy11]

Don't re-think it. Go. Tool at the Pearl are some of my favorite concert memories. Easily worth whatever more I paid to get in there instead of see them in some faceless who gives a crap arena.
