So I played a little hooky from school tonight, but I think I'm allowed total clemency in the case of all things Depeche Mode. I just got back from the concert at the E-Center and it was, as usual, absolutely phenomenal. I came away with complete reaffirmation of the reason why they've been my favorite band for 25 years (yup, I've been a die hard fan since 1984 if you can believe it). I swear they just get better with age.
Now, normally I would have taken lots of pictures, but I went to grab my little point and shoot that I've been carrying everywhere for the last 4 years and the LCD screen had cracked since the last time I used it. I have no idea how it happened, but oh well. So I took a few pictures with my SLR outside in the parking lot and then left it in the car and just enjoyed the show.
Here's me and my friend Kathryn:
And the E-Center...
So we went in and found our seats and enjoyed the opening act, Peter Bjorn and John. Kathryn and I both liked them - I'll have to listen a bit more and do some downloading... good stuff! And then the main event. As I said, I didn't have a camera, but they've been posting pictures of shows on the tour blog and I grabbed a few from Anaheim. I'll probably snag a few once they post the Utah pics.
Sigh. Why do good things take forever to come about and then flash by in an instant? I sat in the concert wishing it would go on forever... I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers that they make another album (or twelve) and just keep on touring, huh? One good thing... they record every concert and you can go to their website to purchase and download the one you were at. I'll be stalking that site to get a copy of tonight's show. It. was. awesome.
And now, back to reality. Sigh.
P.S. There will be a layout. Oh yes, there WILL be a layout.
