    I have been a fan for 36 years. Their music has been part of my life since I was a teen. I've waited 36 years to see them live--number one thing on my bucket list. Something always came up to make it impossible. Last night I had that dream come true. It was the experience of a lifetime that I will never forget. It felt and still feels like a dream. They had a lovely quiet tribute to Andy Fletcher during 'World in My Eyes'. When Dave and Martin walked to the end of the extended stage and sang 'I'm Waiting for the Night to Fall', it was beautiful. I hope they know how many souls they've spoken to in the past four decades.

    The story of Depeche Mode is really to never underestimate the underdog, the "weirdos", the outliers - who could have guessed that those awkward teens from Basildon 43 years ago and their poppy synth music would end up becoming one the most legendary, epic bands in the world, millions of albums sold, millions of fans in every corner of the globe with the most emotionally resonant and powerful music which only seems to become more relevant and important with each passing year.. I'm almost positive if the likes of Beethoven, Mozart and Bach were still around, they'd appreciate and be enjoying Depeche Mode as well.

    Depeche Mode live is fucking great!! I got a great Depeche Mode story I was working security at Dodger Stadium shows and I was right in the middle of the stage. I basically could have pulled Dave from the stage. All you could hear was a wall of screams. They timed it perfect as the sun set they blacked out the entire stadium. With Anton's images HUGE in black and white.

    It's a shock when I hear people say they've never seen Depeche Mode live. I've seen them at least 40 times and they never fail to disappoint. I gotta say that seeing them on the Momento Mori tour has been bittersweet without Fletch.
