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.

WHAT A SHOW, WHAT A BAND!
After previewing the Spirit Tour a couple of times on YouTube before I saw them in Houston, I had prepared myself for a slow concert. I expected things to only pickup the pace after about 45 minutes, but I was WRONG. The show was full gas from the start, lots of energy. The Houston crowd was amazing and fun to be with. There is no way DM could play all of my favorites, it just won't happen and I know they gotta get the new songs in the mix too. BACKWARDS and POISON HEART are new great live tracks. That being said they did GET THE BALANCE RIGHT all-in-all. Dave was great, he is certainly one of the best front men of all time. So good to hear Martin sing SOMEBODY with Peter on piano. And yes, even I still wonder if Andy's keyboard is plugged in after all these years. I've seen them 24 times and this tour now ranks in the top 5 for me, so there you have it. Peter and Christian are fantastic musicians too and not to be ignored. ... Read more

Greatest cult band ever
I think they never disappointed in performance, passion and showmanship, I’ve see probably 25-30 performances live throughout the last 2 decades. Attention to detail, fact that not 2 shows are really the same both performance and playlist says a lot about artistic dedication.
I’ve been a fan since I was about 10 and every new album they put out relates to a certain part in my life evoking emotions and memories that no other constant in my life does.
People that be leave one star reviews simply because they haven’t played a couple of songs that they know are just pathetic and hope they won’t show up at future performances again.
While some songs or albums are more relevant or catchy that others they tell a real story of inspiration, struggle, life evolution and that’s what music and art is about, not all Picasso’s works are equally valuable and brilliant.
I hope they never perform in Canada again and all those “fans†can go see Justin Bieber instead, no pun intended.
Forever DM!!! ... Read more

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
