Dave Gahan played the Apple Store, stream his album

by James Minor

Dave Gahan @ the Apple Store

Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan played a short solo set at the SoHo Apple store in NYC on Tuesday (Oct 23). Not surprisingly, it was being recorded for an iTunes exclusive digital release. People started lining up Monday night to get in, and about 85 of them did. My expectations were low - I mean it's an Apple store, but when Gahan and his band finally came out, it was flooring. Gahan's solo record Hourglass was released the same day (stream it at AOL), and all the material he played was pulled from that. The sound was great, and Gahan put just as much energy into it as any arena show - it even looked like he was having fun despite the semi-awkward lighting.

I love the new record, and it comes across great live - with "Saw Something", the Superpitcher- esque "Endless", and the screaming "Deeper + Deeper" being personal highlights. Fingers crossed for a real tour.

Losers with no life. Duh

By the way, this guy James Minor who wrote this is a dweeb depeche mode fanatic who got his info wrong. How do i know? Cause i live around there and i was also at the show. FIrstly, only a few of the fanatics started lining up Mon night. It was not a large amount. Most people started lining up around 3 in the afternoon on Tuesday. And like another poster above said, you did not have to do that as i went around 6 with some friends and we all got in. Most of the people on line got in and there were much more than 85 people in there. Nice try James

Janelle, men like Gahan only become hotter with age. I know, I am his age.

Can someone please tell me wen is this video being released. I went to this performance and it was totally awesome!!!
And yes, at 3 o' clock only 50 people in line.

It was awesome. Totally worth standing in line for 4 hours. He sounds fantastic and despite what Pitchfork says the album is pretty good.

I took the last picture! Hurrah.

Dave Gahan is still a big-time smackhead.
