Depeche Mode: Delta Machine Concert 2013 Amsterdam

Last year in December Dutchman and I went to the Depeche Mode concert in Ziggo Dome Amsterdam.

The Delta Machine Tour | December 2013

Dutchman and I love the same music. We are both 80’s kids and love alternative rock. We even like the same bands. Music in general is a great part of our teenage lives and I often sought solace before in music. I would tape record a song I like over and over, like record the whole side of a tape, then play it non-stop until my mother storms into the room and scolds me for playing a broken record. ‘Why are you playing that darn music over and over again?!’ lol

Nevertheless, I have always thought that the 80’s were the best years when it comes to music. The 80’s truly paved way for a different type of music genre. From alternative rock to new wave to techno to trance to house and to the DJ music that is still gripping the music and club scene now.

I am into chill out jazz lounge music nowadays though. And I tell you, we all change as we age, and that includes our taste in music.

Here are some pictures and videos of the Depeche Mode concert. I loved them before. I was crazy about their songs. A throw back to the 80’s night for us!

Dave Gahan on vocals kicks off the concert. Back then I was more impressed in Martin Gore, the man on the keyboards, or as everyone prefers to call it, synthesizers.

This song is ‘Enjoy the Silence’ one of my favourites actually.

I don’t know but Dave Gahan has this sleazy pimp, drug addict, gigolo dancer, your tattooed neighbour bystander look. He also has this tendency to shout (aaayyee!) in between singing and dancing, hehe.

Another favourite song, ‘Walking in My Shoes’.

The band was formed in England, in the county of Essex. 3 of the 4 original members are still in the band: Dave Gahan on vocals, Martin Gore on keyboards and Andy Fletcher on guitars. All of them seem to have suffered from something, Gahan on drugs, Gore on alcoholism and Fletcher on depression.
