I finally picked up my tickets for the upcoming Depeche Mode gig. Aren’t they gorgeous? Apparently they’re close to selling out the 50,000 tickets!
I last saw the boys from Basildon back in the 80’s at Hammersmith Odeon when I was a wee lad, and am looking forward to this a lot, as I know a few thousand other people are…I also had tickets for their much anticipated gig back in 2006, which was cancelled because of the Second Lebanon War, but we won’t talk about that…
Depeche Mode fever is starting to hit Tel Aviv already, and promotions, such as this one, are starting to hit the airwaves, as are a few of their hits. And if my wife is listening to Enjoy the Silence on her car stereo you just know that this is going to be a huge, huge event (she says she hates Depeche Mode, but funnily enough doesn’t want to give up her ticket…).
I’ll be on the grassy bit (the show is at the Ramat Gan stadium, often used for big football matches) with a few friends, trying to hoist my wife onto my shoulders now and again. My money’s on her giving Dave G a big smile and getting his sweaty shirt tossed into her outstretched hand…
