Depeche Mode Surprise Lucky Fans With Private Show

(Radio.com) When a couple dozen Depeche Mode pre-sale ticket holders were randomly selected to attend a private event in New York on March 6th, most assumed it was a listening event where they'd be treated to a preview of the band's new album, Spirit, ahead of its March 17 release.

But little did they know they'd end up being treated to a private and very intimate rehearsal for the band's upcoming tour, not only hearing songs no one has heard before but played by the band themselves.

Fortunately for fans around the world, the event was chronicled by Sean, a long-time fan and random winner selected to be in attendance. Below are excerpts from his story posted on a fan site, Depeche-Mode.com. Read more here.
