Friday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Depeche Mode made a lifelong fan checkoff a huge item off their bucketlist. The iconic ’80s pioneers of electronic muisc flexed their digital muscles before a crowded arena. Lead vocalist Dave Gahan is in spectacular shape with Martin Gore perfectly executing maestro detail after more than thirty years of trailblazing the music scene together.

Most acts at this age opt for an obvious cash grab, however, the English act are successfully supporting their fourteenth album with the release of the 2017 album, “Spirit.” Depeche Mode’s level of cohesion is near flawless. Their extensive catalog spans multiple decades and countless hits with many more to come.
