Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

20 Years Ago Today

The Concert for the Masses. 80,000 fans pack the Rose Bowl for the 101st and final stop on Depeche Mode's "Music for the Masses" tour. The energy, the noise, the food fights, the rain. Opening acts Wire (really, really bad), Thomas Dolby (not bad), OMD (a lot of fun). KROQ deejays onstage, many proving that radio personalities should stay on the radio.

I was there, my future wife, who I didn't meet until eight years later was there in the front row, friends I'd meet years later were there, it seemed like half of Southern California was there. 20 years later, it remains the single best live music experience of my life.

Today, Depeche Mode's Web site commemorates the anniversary of the Concert for the Masses with audio clips from KROQ's day-long on-site broadcast, exclusive backstage footage and more.

I went looking for the concert shirt, but it's gone. I wonder in which move it was lost.
