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.
