Massive performance - 6 Stars
I can’t count how many times I’ve seen Depeche Mode… This show was off the charts! The energy, the arrangements, absolutely fantastic. The tribute to their fallen band member was touching, the imagery powerful and moving. After 40 years they continue to not disappoint. Walking In My Shoes, Stripped, Question of Lust, Everything Counts, I Feel You and even the new Ghosts Again were all excellent. Never Let Me Down Again was epic and showed that the bank still has it after all these years. Well done, gentlemen … well done.
Another excellent show!
The lads gave. It 100% last night. New material sounded fantastic. Shame about Toronto crowds. Lamest bunch of fence-sitting duds in the planet. Reading the the bitching and moaning in theres reviews pretty much sums it up. These folks weren’t interested in seeing a live show. They wanted a high-school reunion. If they spent half as much time listening as they have complaining about the set list, they’d have have been a part of something magical. Instead, they sat like stuck, codgy lumps - waiting to relive their bad-80’s hair fantasies. ...and then shuffled home to write negative reviews that only reflect on their own inability to age with grace and passion. Here’s a tip: Don’t come next time, ya bunch of washed-up, spoon-fed, low-energy having whiners. You bring nothing to the table and you’re an embarrassment to our city. Fantastic show! Can’t wait for a new album and another tour. The lads always bring it. Setlist, sound, stage design and delivery, all A+. Thanks again boys!!!!
DEPECHE MODE AT THE ACC WAS AWESOME!!!
We started the night out for dinner and drinks at the nearby Loose Moose (which was awesome and fun). Then we walked done the block to the Air Canada Center. We had to find our way up to the 3rd floor where we quickly found a booth to buy a requisite t-shirt, and another few drinks. (Yes, the 3rd floor! Thanks, in no part, to the bots on TicketMaster.) We got into our seats in time to enjoy a few of Warpaint's warmup (great songs, ladies!), then onto the main event. The crowd was really revved up as Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher entered the stage, and the sound at the ACC was spectacular! The speakers hanging from the ceiling almost looked organic, and the digital sound was crisp and mind-blowing! I've seen all of Depeche Mode's concerts in Toronto since their Violator tour show at the CNE Grand, but this was by far the best of all of them. I want to wish David, Martin, and Andrew a hearty Canadian "THANK-YOU!" for all the years you've put into entertaining us! We loved it! Keep it up!!
Best ever
Jays a moron the show was fantastic. But he’s from Toronto
never let ME down
This was my 3rd time to see Depeche Mode in the Houston area. This was the first time at the indoor Toyota Center, previously saw them at the Woodlands Pavillion outdoor theatre. THEY BLEW ME AWAY with another performance I will never forget. Bought nosebleed seats 8 months in advance, but when the wait was over, got to our seats to find a perfectly clear view of the stage that wasn't as far off as I was expecting (section 416). I cannot say enough about the set. A giant letter "M" that showed live feed of the audience inside the letter and outside live video of what was happening on stage. And other combinations of colors photos, videos inside the M and outside. Couldn't wait for next song to see what cool way they were going to light up the stage. Their song library is so huge, they played a very balanced mix of new and old. Again, the set, just amazing... i want one of those in my living room with my initial LOL
Greatest cult band ever
I think they never disappointed in performance, passion and showmanship, I’ve see probably 25-30 performances live throughout the last 2 decades. Attention to detail, fact that not 2 shows are really the same both performance and playlist says a lot about artistic dedication. I’ve been a fan since I was about 10 and every new album they put out relates to a certain part in my life evoking emotions and memories that no other constant in my life does. People that be leave one star reviews simply because they haven’t played a couple of songs that they know are just pathetic and hope they won’t show up at future performances again. While some songs or albums are more relevant or catchy that others they tell a real story of inspiration, struggle, life evolution and that’s what music and art is about, not all Picasso’s works are equally valuable and brilliant. I hope they never perform in Canada again and all those “fans†can go see Justin Bieber instead, no pun intended. Forever DM!!!
