Depeche Mode in Montréal

Excellent concert. Those guys still rock. The concert was a good blend of old and new, with a lot of stuff from SoFaD; this makes me happy because that's my favorite of their albums. Martin did a single guitar rendition of Judas, which was excellent. But I was really hoping to hear that track with the monster bass at the arena. The video presnetation was put together by a clever program that took live footage from the current performance and did strange effects with it to make it seem like it had been edited as in the opening sequence to the movie Se7en.

The opening act was okay. It was a blend of The Cure, Violent Femmes and Jane's Addiction. Pretty heavy on Cure influence.

It's nice living a 5 minute walk from the Centre Bell in Montréal, since we didn't have to find parking or get stuck in traffic after the concert. :)
