This will be the first DM tour that I won't attend since "The Devotional Tour" . . . and I'm okay with that; I was not impressed with the last one, "The Tour Of The Universe". I feel they haven't added or changed their live set in years. To me they feel stale and static live, however, having said that, if you've never seen them or have only seen them before once or twice, I believe you will really enjoy them. I think I've just seen them one too many times.
 
I just saw them last Tuesday. I barely knew any of the songs other than the radio hits. I thought they were awesome! I didn't have time after the show to explore any of their albums so I decided to download a greatest hits album. I haven't stopped listening to it since! I'm now completely embarrassed and annoyed with myself that as a product of the 80's I let this band slip right by me. I'll definitely add some of their albums to my collection in the coming months!

I was really impressed with Dave's moves. I thought they all stood behind keyboards :reject: so to see him dance around all night was fabulous. :drool:

Don't be ashamed. I just saw them for the first time too.


Obviously I wasn't born in the Devotional days... So I had to see them now.


Setlist wise and performancewise. IMHO Tour of the Universe was obviously not as good as Devotional because Dave was struggling with his health/disease.
Delta Machine tour is rocking, love the amount of new stuff they are playing, for us youngsters. And I love the oldies they picked too.

Ooh you have so many hidden gems and B-sides left to discover :wink: Doo eet.
 
I wish I could be saying this tour was the first time I've seen them. Sadly, I was too busy thinking they were a shitty 80s band up until far too recently.
 
Saw them play in Toronto last night. What an awesome show! This was the 4th time seeing them live and was probably the best. I had previously seen them in '94 during the Devotional tour (also my first concert ever), then twice in the 00's. They brought the house down last night. It was my girlfriend's first time seeing them and she said afterward it might've been the most fun she's had at a concert ever. Go see them if you get a chance. Not sure we'll get many more opportunities
 
Agree 100% with JTs assessment here! Great show, they are far better than when I saw them in 94 also..wait..were you at Kingswood also Jive? That's hilarious, considering we were mere rows away from each other in the same section last night! Lol

There were tons of U2 fans there from other online groups, some of whom used to be fairly regular here also. Great to see a few of them again!!

I danced like a fuckin maniac. What else is new? :wink: :dance:

I was! My brother and I were talking about it before the show. Primal Scream opened. And DM started the setlist with Rush. I remember being amazed by all the goths wandering about

Yep, Toronto's show rocked! And it was my first (and hopefully not last) time seeing them.

I missed seeing you and the others, Gabe - next time!

Nice! Did you do more of this show? I was in the top seated section so I'd love to see more up closer of this show. :hmm:

These are from my little point and shoot camera from 4 sections back. I do love that venue. :up:

We got the whole thing. I did post a 1 cam of A Pain That I'm Used To, on my channel as well. Not sure of the sharing plans outside of what gets put up on YouTube.
 
I was thinking more along the lines of tentacle porn, but that sounds almost as unpleasant.
 
You pretty much heard all the best songs off that record. Unless they played the one with Martin Gore on lead vocals. That one is terrible.

I do like that they've switched producers. James Ford produced the last Foals record, which sounded great.
 
Depeche Mode and U2 have had a pretty similar career trajectory, so who's had the better post 2000 output?

ATYCLB
Bomb
No Line
SOI

vs.

Exciter
Playing The Angel
Sounds of The Universe
Delta Machine

Depeche Mode by a long shot. Playing the Angel, Sounds of the Universe, and Exciter are all better than any album U2 has released since 2000.
