As I was watching that earlier video, I was amazed at how DM was able to play such a small venue as the Letterman show at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in NYC and act like it was just par for the course. That is an extremely small venue for them, and I think folks have to wait to get tickets to Letterman, but ultimately pay zero for the tickets themselves to sit in on that audience (not including the expensive hotels and restaurants of the area to stay there of course).

I remember seeing the documentary 101 about Depeche Mode... They sold out the freakin' Rose Bowl Stadium.. 60,000 people in the crowd that night just to see them!!

The folks who were in the Letterman audience that night were some very lucky people, and I don't mean that as a dig at Dave, because in his field of satire, he is equally as epic as DM is to music. They were lucky people all the way around. Kind of a shame Mayor Bloomberg was the guest that night, lol.... On the nights following they had Steve Carrell and Jim Carrey, both of whom were freakin hilarious.
