Depeche Mode in Toronto


Got to see Depeche Mode's tour of the universe tonight on it's first stop in North America. I had resigned myself to going alone to this show, but my sister decided to come with me, all six months pregnant and all =)

We had a great time. Thanks Depeche Mode for the lesbian/foot sucking video during Strangelove. That was real comfortable with my sister...

Of course, I'm pretty sure she was singing along to "Master and Servant", so...

Precious, Home, I Feel You, and Waiting for the Night were the highlights for me. It's No Good was fun as well. It made me think of the time that Kelli and i were broken up in college and she played that song for me on her radio show. Timeless!

It was also by far the best live version of "I Feel You" I've ever seen. I thought it would be excessive if this tour yielded yet *another* live DVD, but now i want one just to have this tours version of that song.

Oh, and an interesting note, i think this is the first they have ever played "Fragile Tension" live. If there are any uber depeche mode fan out there reading this that can refute that claim, feel free.

wow, i haven't thought of that song since then!! do you have any copies of my radio shows? or our radio shows? my friend Rebecca has one of mine--it was funny to listen to!

i'd say i hope you are well, but based on your blog (which i read daily :) ) i know you aren't so much. i'm praying for you, honey and i think of you all the time!

i love you, you know?

Yeah, Robin is pregnant again. Her kids will be 16 months apart. Cant wait for the new one =)

I don't think i even have any of *my* radio shows, let alone yours. Most of my cassettes were in my old Ford Escort when Nyack College crushed in into a cube.

Thanks for the prayers. I'm doing ok. Sometimes life just throws you some curve balls you really weren't expecting. My blog is a great way to get those feelings out, but sometimes it ends up making me look sadder than i am.
