Depeche Mode
Nissan Pavilion, are we there yet? VA

Even though we got all turned around on 66 (after I did the Chain Bridge route so well, too!), we still got there in time. We managed to miss major traffic on both ends, which was great.
It was a little chilly and the food lines were ridiculous, but we made it to our seats by the second song. I think most of my favorite 'depeche mode' songs are actually Erasure songs. Anyway, it was a pretty long set (probably almost 90 minutes) and included a wide range of new and old songs. Most people in our section were seated for the first half of the show, but after a couple in front of us stood up then almost everyone else did. I was still too tired from my Coheed trek and I wasn't feeling well, so I sat and tried to avoid the pointy-elbow swinging of some chick next to me. I still have popcorn in the car....oh yes, and 'Enjoy the Silence' was played as was 'Personal Jesus' but no 'People are People'
