[kj] OTish: Depeche Mode

[Neil Perry]

The gig was a pleasant surprise - sometimes its good to go in with no
expectations whatsoever.
The last time I saw them was early 90s at some outdoor thing and I can't
say much DM has
reached my ears since. The songs I liked the most (as I found out later)
were from the last
trio of LPs. The sound was fantastic, lots of earth-moving bass synth.
Although I was tiring a
little at the end by the time everyone around us (including my girlfriend)
went nuts and started dancing
to I Just Can't Get Enough. Hellishly catchy tune, I'll give em that. I
tapped my foot a bit.
