Depeche Mode
HP Pavilion, San Jose, CA
November 18, 2005

Friday night was Depeche Mode at the HP Pavilion/Shark Tank in San Jose. V rushed home from work so we could head down, but unfortunately we still missed openers the Raveonettes. DM were pretty good. We had good seats off the left side of the stage. Good enough to see Dave Gahan preen shirtless, watch the ancient-looking Martin Gore and his bizarre black sherpa outfit, and laugh at the hopelessly dorky Andy Fletcher. The set was mostly post-Violator ("new DM", in my estimation). The new song "John the Revelator" was kickin'.
