I was at the PG gig & the sound was fine. Dunno what happened last night and yes, it was a distraction. That aside, though, thoroughly enjoyed it. I did actually expect Just Can't Get Enough; it's about the only staple from the Vince Clarke days. Walking in My Shoes was a particular highlight as well as Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence, I Feel You & Black Celebration.
As for Dave, I reckon he just wants to be left alone every now & then to shag himself.
