Ooh, dat's right!
Yep, the show was about a month ago, and it was a total blast. While I like "Exciter", I'm not nuts about it, but the new songs worked really well live. They focused mostly on newer material, with only two songs that pre-dated "Violator" ("Never Let Me Down", "Black Celebration"). Obviously there were a few songs that I would've liked to have heard ("Judas", "Shake The Disease"), but when you're dealing with a band with as many "greatest hits" and crowd faves as DM, it's hard to fill everyone's wish list. Dave Gahan is a total rock star: struts about like a stripper, works the mic stand like a twirling baton, constantly shakin' his booty...
A great show.
