Depeche Mode @ Madison Square Garden
Last night I saw one of my favourite bands play in New York City. I decided to not go see the support and just rock up on time, which I did, as I found my seat Gate 52, Section 9, the band came on. Lots of cheering and clapping going on, I feel that New York really joins in with the music with it’s clapping and singing and what not. DM encourages this when he stops singing and people have to fill in the words, which often leads to really bad amateur karaoke singing, bad.
The concert had great backdrop, and animations. What was interesting was with the main backdrop, they had a sphere in the top middle which protruded out, causing a sphere effect which they utilised a lot with their imagery. It felt like a long show, and looking at setlist.fm, it was 21 songs. I was worried they would play out all of their new album because they opened with a couple of songs where from Sounds of the Universe, which I thought was rather crap. But alas, they played a lot of classics, which everyone chimed and danced on to. They also played 2 encores.
