Depeche Mode Tour of the Universe Barcelona

Depeche Mode's world tour album "Sounds Of The Universe" was a struggle from beginning to end for the band. The setlist is a mixed bag. Sounds of the Universe is relegated to only five tracks, the opening trio plus “Jezebel” and a kickass version of the Gahan-penned “Come Back”.

Depeche Mode DVD are here and played competently.

The grungy “I Feel You” blasts through the speakers intensely. “Stripped” builds up as epically as it does on record. “Never Let Me Down Again” works as the perfect main set closer, extending itself to heights it never reaches on the studio version.

The problem is that many of the songs played for the Barcelona shows have already appeared on DVD/CD. During several other tour dates, the set included “Master and Servant” and “Strangelove”, neither of which have been on a filmed release since the late ’80s.

A serene "Waiting For The Night" with the concert wraps up at the time.

The Depeche Mode Tour Of The Universe Trailer



You know how the old folk go on about how great Led Zepplin, The Rolling Stones an Pink Floyd were? Like me you probably think - <"uh no". Well for me - Depeche Mode are the hands-down equivalent in my book - the true kings of electronic pop - rock and roll gods. So you can only imagine how excited I am to have a new memento (on Blu Ray too -eek!) of their Tour Of The Universe. This tour was exceptionally memorable for me too - it was the first time I've got to backstage at a Depeche Mode show - yes I'm trying to make you jealous here - is it working? Definitely one of my top ten moments of the year.
