What can I expect from a Depeche Mode concert in 2009?

Asked by tinyfaery (44086points) August 16th, 2009 from iPhone

I used to be a huge Depeche Mode fan. I was at the famous Rose Bowl concert in ‘88 and I saw them in ‘90 at Dodger Stadium, but back then I really knew the music.

I have tickets to see DM tonight at the Hollywood Bowl, and I have no idea what to expect. My idea of concerts these days is a Dave show, and I don’t think it will be the same.

Has anyone seen them recently? What can I expect? And what should I wear?

I read a review a while ago, from a concert they did in Belgium, and that critic was quite enthusiatic.
They played a mix of new and old songs, and performed an all in all good set.
The stage was pretty empty, with a big screen where they showed, according to the critic, Kraftwerkian images

Music of a higher order, as usual.

They were magnificent on ‘Later’ in the uk recently.
Worry not.

Saw them at Lollapalooza just last week. They sound great live. =) Wear whatever feels comfortable, really.

I love depeche mode…Do you have any extra tickets? :)

My brothers just went to see them a week or two ago. They thought it was a phenomenal show. They were greatly impressed with the vocals of the keyboardist (I think), whenever he stepped in to give the lead singer a break.

You should expect a night of AWESOMENESS. You know its going to be good. I wish I had tickets to see them. Do you have the newest album? I thought it was really good! What did you think?

Show was AWESOME!!! Lots of old songs, including Question Of Time. We were all 20 years older, but it still rocked.
