Waited so long for this concert, worried it may never happen after the cancellations earlier in the year, the concerns over Dave's on going health issues.
Would they still have that stage presence that blew me away several years ago !!!
I need not have worried, from the moment Dave walked on the stage and bowed to the audience, until the final song, They totally owned the O2 stage. The marvellous location was filled with the throbbing drum beats and Martins guitar, sending waves of music through your whole body.Watching dave throw himself round the stage with energy i can only remember having, was emotional. Their songs touch so many people for so many reasons, the pleasure and emotion was etched across faces as far as i could see. The hard core Mode fans , singing every word , knowing every dance was fantastic. It was so great to see so many people there showing their appreciation to a Band , which through the history of music has not received the recognition it deserves.
Here's to Depeche Mode , long may they keep making and performing songs which touch people in a way like no other.
