Depeche Mode: New Album + Tour

[Pani]

Nice pics Pani, so you are for sure going to the show in Bremen right?

Bremen and Hamburg.




I like the Luxembourg setlist a lot. I would've liked 'People Are People'
also!

[Nightcrawler]

Rumour says that has been rehearsed too


Getting ready for the tour kick off, some pics of DM in Israel:

I hope DM don't go down the Neil Tennant route and start slagging off proliferation of air travel whilst flying in a private jet. Doubt it though

[Pani]

Thank you for the pictures etc.

They reheased 'PAP' ??

Some rumour says, honestly i don't believe it, but hearing "that other song from the same album" being played at luxembourg was quite a shock, so... (at the last tour the rumour about "Photographic" starts early on the tour but they played it about 6 months later on the 3rd and 4th legs)

I will go to the two of the shows in France and Germany. Berlin and Hamburg.

The same setlist today as the one before.

[Nightcrawler]

Yep, so, this is the "basic" setlist, so changes (to martin songs) will start to happen in a month or so, with changes to this basic setlist for the 3rd and 4th legs

The show in Athens was just cancelled, crowds are throwing stuff
towards the stage ...

Dave is said to be ill and in hospital.

just realised how badly I've worded this, when I said I doubt it I meant it as in DM are not preachy and hypocritical

Symptoms of gastroenteritis , they're looking for the posibility of reschedule the gig for tomorrow, but i see it very unlikely.

and about the crowd, some rumours said that there was a big riot but no, just isolated things happened after all

What a pity for the fans.


More the pity Dave is ill. I wish a fast recovery!

There are a lot of freaks out there and all their concern is the show going on. They could not give a rats ass about Dave's health. But some of us fans like myself do care. Sure they spent a lot of money on their tickets, but the band will reschedule.

I do hope Dave has a speedy recovery.
