Ah Mode comes through yet again :)

Apparently i have no idea how to incorporate my pics throughout the blog at the appropriate places so just enjoy them as they are.

So Sly and I and a few of her friends went to see the Depeche Mode concert on the 1st and as expected it was absolutely phenomenal. We were right in the action eighth row to be exact, which does make all the difference in the world. The Ravonette's opened up for them and as Sly began dancing in the aisle one of the men in suits came up and told her no dancing LOL and ushered her back into the seated area....whatever was she thinking dancing in the aisle at a concert...tsk tsk :P
The Ravonette's finish their set which we all enjoyed and Sly and myself bugger off for a bit the usual pee break, check out the goods sort of thing.

We return to our seats, a gentleman in the front row raises his beer and shouts out a toast to Mode and we all cheer. The lights go low and oh yes it is time !!!! Everyone is screaming and yelling and the excitment is growing. Be still my heart there they are ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Let me describe everything before i go any further. First of all there is a giant silver sphere with a window on stage with words that light up according to the song as well as these UFO type of keyboard stands. Dave Gahan is looking sexy as usual in his black pants and a vest which he strips off at some point....showing off his sweaty tattooed body...and he struts and moves his hips gyrating and i'm damn sure this is what heaven feels like :) And of course the lovely Martin Gore looks spectacular in his fallen angel get-up. He has on all black of course as well as a kilt, feathered wings and a fuzzy mohawkish hat and sparkles on his face. He whips out a star shaped guitar for a few songs and i know i'm in love ... he makes me tingly :) The set list was phenonmenal as you can see up above....my favorites being Never Let Me Down Again & Somebody & Everything Counts & Home &....oh fuck who am i kidding i love them all :) I must say though the way that Martin sang Somebody was hauntingly beautiful it sent shivers throughout my entire body and brought Sly to tears....it's such a heartfelt and honest song.

We screamed and clapped and danced and had our arms in the air the whole time and i had not a care in the world. It was like we were five again and it was Christmas day. My whole mind body and spirit were there in that moment, which is rare. Usually i'm trying to do 10 things at once and my mind is wandering around....but for those 2 hours i was there, really there enjoying every second of it with my good friend and our boys serenading us hehe.

I have this ridiculous grin on my face even thinking about it .... the singing was spot on, the setlist amazing, the band was sexy and gorgeous as usual and the crowd had a great energy about them...it was perfect!!! Thanks go out to Sly for holding a Lottery :) We've been going to concerts together for years now .. back to like 1992 when we went to see The Cure's Wish tour...we're old pros at this and the times just get better and better :)
