Ive just purchased the new Depeche Mode Tour of the universe DVD, class stuff, what are your opinions of this DVD? Any songs you think should have been on there that were omitted?

Haven't gotten it yet, but hopefully plan to get it for Christmas. Saw the TOTU in Dallas and it was fantastic. I've about 15 of the Live Here Now recordings from the tour. Every one of them sound great. The clips I've heard from Barcelona (where the DVD was filmed) on iTunes make it sound like it's going to be a fun one to watch (great audience participation). I thought they did a great job incorporating tunes from their whole catalog througout the tour (even pulling out very early material -- Photographic -- in Dusseldorf). From my collection and what I've seen of the setlists from other cities, it looks like A Broken Frame, Construction Time Again and Exciter were the only albums not represented. I was more upset that they didn't play certain new tracks at the Dallas concert (Come Back and Peace). Looks like Come Back is on the DVD, so my only complaints would be not including Peace and a few of the interchangable tunes they worked in and out of the setlist during the tour (Master & Servant, Strangelove and Shake the Disease, to name a few).

Anyway, looking forward to owning this one. Glad to see other DM fans on here.

Sounds like something I need 2 pick up.

Yes, but I'd like a blu-ray. Sadly I don't see any plans of 101, Devotional, Paris tour coming out on this format. Still, I know it'll sound fantastic on the home theater system.
