Depeche Mode at The Hollywood Bowl

I've given up trying to understand the vagaries of The Hollywood Bowl door policy with regards to alcohol, which ranges from anything goes, to no glass bottles, to no alcohol at all... As a result, we missed Peter, Bjorn and John drinking our wine outside...

Depeche Mode sounded good - no evidence of Dave Gahan's throat issues that caused a couple of cancellations last week other than a rather effete scarf that was more Martin Gore than Dave... Gore was given vocal duties on three songs, presumably to give Mr Gahan some rest. Depeche played all the usual favorites like 'Enjoy the silence' and 'Personal Jesus' and a few others that I should probably know the names of by now... Anyway, it was all a bit of a blur after downing a couple of bottles of wine!

Depeche Mode doing the crow...
