The tribal rhythm of Speak to Me announces the start of the show. The voice of Dave Gahan and the sepulchral atmosphere of My Cosmos Is Minealso from the album Memento Mori kick off the festivities. In the blink of an eye, the stadium is immersed in the atmosphere of Depeche Mode.
This haunting rhythm, this baritone voice, these floating synths and the always precise guitar of Martin Gore invite us into a singular and delicate musical universe, a sound signature in vogue for more than 40 years.
“I saw them twice at the Halle, it was perfect each time. I was a little dreaded to see them in such a big place, but in a few minutes you forget where you are, and you dive into their music” explains Marion, a fifty-year-old from Saint-Etienne with “her high school friends”.
A duo indifferent to the passing years
This tour is also the first without Andrew Fletcher, who died last year. It is the keyboardist Alan Wilder, who provides his parts, with unfailing fidelity. The Gahan/Gore duo is in great shape, indifferent to the passing years. After Wagging Tonguethe band dates back to the early 1990s, with Walking in My Shoes.
We will have to wait until the very end of the show to find the incunabula of DM, Just Can’t Get Enough, Never Let Me Down Again et Personal Jesus chained in an invigorating reminder, in front of a spellbound audience.
