Why see Depeche Mode?
The Iconic Depeche Mode Live
New Wave icons Depeche Mode rose to prominence in the 80s with their brooding, dance floor-filling electro-pop, but became modern mainstays due to a constant output of their unique brand of heady and dark synth rock. Now Dave Gahan and Martin Gore return to touring after the death of Andy Fletcher, with a brand new album, Memento Mori.
Combining their analogue beginnings with a digital sensibility, Depeche Mode continue to evolve with each new album, with Memento Mori being no exception. Known for their eye-catching and theatrical shows, the band delves into their considerable back catalogue of almost two hundred songs with aplomb, embellishing hits like 'Enjoy The Silence' and 'Personal Jesus' with arresting video footage and light shows.

never let ME down
This was my 3rd time to see Depeche Mode in the Houston area. This was the first time at the indoor Toyota Center, previously saw them at the Woodlands Pavillion outdoor theatre. THEY BLEW ME AWAY with another performance I will never forget. Bought nosebleed seats 8 months in advance, but when the wait was over, got to our seats to find a perfectly clear view of the stage that wasn't as far off as I was expecting (section 416). I cannot say enough about the set. A giant letter "M" that showed live feed of the audience inside the letter and outside live video of what was happening on stage. And other combinations of colors photos, videos inside the M and outside. Couldn't wait for next song to see what cool way they were going to light up the stage. Their song library is so huge, they played a very balanced mix of new and old. Again, the set, just amazing... i want one of those in my living room with my initial LOL ... Read more

never let me down again
Show was amazing. Depeche Mode is off the charts. the DM Library cannot be matched. They have so many great songs that they couldn't possibly do them all. I really liked the Cover Me performance. I liked the Never Let Me down Again performance. I love how they have different arrangements for some old songs. I love the Anton Corbin projections. I think they are a very pioneering Band. I stood for the whole show. It was just DM at there best. I liked when Martin performed Home which is one of my all time favorites. I like the new synth rhythms on songs like Everything Counts which sounds so good after all these years especially the new arrangements. All in all the show was phenomenal. I hope they just keep on making good records and revamping there library. 10 stars for DM ... Read more

Depeche Mode
The show started slowly with the crowd somewhat
subdued.You could tell the band were aware that the
crowd was hesitant about getting into the whole show.
It wasn't until halfway through that the crowd started
to give something back to Gahan as he tried to stir
them up. If you watch any of their other concerts that
were filmed you can see the crowds willingly
participate in everything the band has to offer but not
so at this last show. It took a lot of cajoling from Gahan
to bring them along for the ride but towards the end
we were all willing passengers on the Depeche Mode
caravan. ... Read more
