Depeche Mode Begins North American Tour, Releases New Video

THEY'VE ARRIVED! Depeche Mode are finally in the States, preparing for their first show of the North American tour tonight at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Detroit.

Coinciding with the kickoff is the release of an official video for Should Be Higher, which I imagine is their third single after Heaven and Soothe My Soul. Shot by longtime visual collaborator Anton Corbijn, the video is a live performance from one of their recent European shows. I want to say Berlin, but I don't know, that's probably bullshit; don't quote me.

 
The band is in top form. Compare this video to, say, one of their earliest pre-tour promo performances, and they're worlds apart. It's obvious that they've found their groove on this one. And there's frontman Dave, like an ancient Tantrika come to sweep us all into the stratosphere of bliss. Or a sexy Whirling Dervish.

Enjoy the show, Detroit!
