Though obviously Mr. Gahan would be my first choice. I just got back into the house after seeing them for the first time at Wembley.
I have to be honest and say that I was somewhat worried that I would be disappointed by the show. I was pretty much too young to have seen them in their hayday and since being old enough I had had the chance to see them. I was worried that I would get a show that was them just going through the motions and something I had waited so long for would just be 'okayish'. Then I was also worried since they have a new(ish) album and so it would be possible that they wouldn't play much if any of their older stuff.
Firstly, they did play a good amount of the new album but even though I like the album for some reason those songs sound a heck of a lot better live then they do on the album. Once we had paid our dues by listening to the new stuff it was one great song after another. I didn't expect any Vince era stuff and we didn't really get any but when we were thrown the Vince bone of 'Just Can't Get Enough' in one of the encores the place really got into it.
Personal highlights for me was, of course 'Personal Jesus', 'A Question Of Time' , 'John The Revelator' and 'Enjoy The Silence' but pretty much every song was great. Of course, I didn't get to hear every song I wanted to hear but they honestly could do two more complete concerts and things would be left out that I would have liked to have heard. It would have been cool to hear Little 15 but I seriously would have loved to have heard "Blasphemous Rumours" as it is my faveorite DM song but bands usually don't play my faveorite of their songs for some reason.
Even the opening act wasn't that bad. It ws the Bravery who have been the darlings of the NME for a while now and they weren't bad considering most open acts suck and/or I have never heard of them.
Anyway, that is one more band crossed off my 'must see before I die list' Only one left...
