Depeche Mode at Scandinavium....

 photo: Gaffa

For a start....it took me 30 years to get these boys into my live "playlist" ! Depeche Mode live was far better than I ever expected. Gahan is an absolute scene master, a great singer....and indeed a good dancer. Some bands have passed their "best before date" after a few years....Depeche is still a fresh flood of impressions after three decades.

Best in show: Personal Jesus, I Feel You, Never Let Me Down Again, the video screen....and Dave Gahan

The best way to preserve the feeling of time, is to keep things very simple. And this building in Göteborg is a good example of it....

..and thanks for all those endless hours ruining my pickups with your music. I keep in memory that night at the Lisbon Expo, September 23, 1998. I could name so many of your albums - and songs, like "Rock n' Roll Animal", "Take No Prisoners"....but I prefer few words, so..

"it's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with you"
