DM Tour of the Universe hits North America

Depeche Mode's Tour of the Universe: Earth - North America starts tonight in Toronto. Good luck to Martin, Dave, Fletch, Peter, and Christian, and here's hoping for no more troubles on this leg of the tour. For those of you heading to the Toronto and Montreal shows, I hope you have safe trips and a fantastic time at the shows!
Update: Looks like a great show and successful kickoff to the NA tour. And they made a change in the setlist. Minor, but for DM, that's huge. : )

Come on, Roger, you know you're just dying to "goth out". : P

A bit about the Reeves Gabrels/Robert collaborations at Wicked Local, and a mention in a Brandon Flowers (Killers) interview with The Guardian. (Thanks Heron)

"There were Cure references(the moon singing lovecats during end credits and a reference to Goth Juice, made from the tears of Robert Smith) during The Mighty Boosh tonight." (Thanks April)

"BBC1's new panel quiz show "As seen on TV" played a bit of BDC over footage of contestants crying on the Joseph talent contest before a bunch of questions! A bit of a sad use of the classic methinks!" (Thanks Robert but not THE Robert)
