The British electronic rockers brought the Momento Mori Tour to the Kia Forum with new songs off the album of the same name and hits from four decades of music.
Other highlights of the first half of the show included “Sister of Night,” a slow, moody squall of synths, the melodically lovely “Everything Counts,” a fan favorite now 40 years old, and “Precious,” delivered with a slower twang-and-clang of Gore’s guitar over Eigner and Gordeno’s backing.
Gahan returned for “Ghosts Again,” a new single. One of four tracks on “Momento Mori” co-written with Gore by Psychedelic Furs’ singer Richard Butler, it shows off that influence to terrific effect. The main set came to a close with “Stripped,” its tick-tick-ticking big beats and ominous red lighting pulling the crowd into its mood; the bluesy “John the Revelator,” which saw Gahan shimmy-strut-shaking across the stage as Gore played guitar; and finally, “Enjoy the Silence,” the band’s biggest U.S. single. for two more shows at the Kia Forum Dec. 10 and 12, a pair of gigs at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles Dec. 15 and 17. The band is also playing Pechanga Arena in San Diego Dec. 6 and 8.
