Here is the diary entry for Depeche Mode's official tour blog:
It was great seeing the band back on stage yesterday in Leipzig. Everyone was in high spirits during soundcheck, joking around, laughing and sounding great.
The show was simply put fantastic. The crowd response was phenomenal, and the band in top form. Attached a few snaps here. "Policy Of Truth" made it's first appearance this tour, in place of "In Sympathy".
The band left for Berlin straight after the show, and after a quick load out, the crew followed suit.
author: Peter
M83 and Polarkreis 18 were the support acts.
This was only 1 of 3 concert from this tour (the others being Luxembourg and Berlin) where the screen projection to 'Strangelove' (showing a woman licking another woman's toes) was shown in its entirety. In other cities, the screen either turned to red completely after about two minutes, or it got a red glare, making the footage almost indistinguishable. Andy Fletcher explained in August 2009 that the band debated a lot as to whether the foot fetishism was "OTT," over the top. "We sort of are quite risqué. But it's different now. We do have families. Dave has an 8-year-old daughter. Martin has kids. In the end we've sort of compromised [and cut out the naughtiest bits]. But to be honest, the main reason for the compromise is that during 'Strangelove' people were watching the screen and not watching us! But don't worry, the first two minutes [of the video] is good enough."

2009-06-23 Puskas Ferenc Stadium, Budapest, Hungary

== Notes ==
Here is the diary entry for Depeche Mode's official tour blog:
What a difference a day makes! Yesterday in Bratislava was a bit of a nightmare to be honest. The venue was awful, the weather was awful, and the local stage hadn't been built to the band's specifications resulting in a stressed out atmosphere the whole day and all sorts of technical problems.
A leaky "roof" on the side of the stage gave way to the massive amounts of water, and soaked a mixer, killed about 10 channels of audio, and left show opener MOTOR on stage playing with no audio on or off stage for a bit. Depeche Mode had to ditch the video sphere because the stage that had been provided wouldn't hold the weight of the entire rig.
But it was a good show - the crowd was on fire despite being soaked!! Absolutely mental.
Today, in Budapest was much nicer weather (during the day), a lovely venue and much better facilities. The stage was as it should be, which really did make a lot of difference.
The show itself was yet again fantastic. "Jezebel" was back on the set list and a "special" version of "Master & Servant" showed it's face - Dave fumbled the lyrics, and left the singing to the crowd for almost the entire song (he did thank them for their valiant efforts). Anton Corbijn was out taking pictures today, so looking forward to seeing the fruits of his labor. Till then you'll have to settle for mine.

2009-06-25 Slavia Stadium, Prague, Czech Republic

== Notes ==
Here is the diary entry for Depeche Mode's official tour blog:
After a day off in Prague, the band took the stage last night at Eden Stadium (or Slavia Stadium or Tippentot-something Arena, depending on who you ask), for a thoroughly enjoyable gig. The venue was a fairly new, relatively intimate stadium. Felt more like an indoor arena, except without a roof. A roof would have been nice from time to time though, as sun and blue sky gave way to rain and thunder at regular intervals during the day. It wasn't too bad during the show though.
The venue was in a residential area, so it was an early show night. There's something slightly odd about seeing the show in daylight. Not that it seemed to lessen the experience for anyone - the band was on fire and into it, and the crowd was great.
Next stop Paris... for the tour at least. Everyone seems dead excited to go there, as it's gonna be the world tour equivalent of "bring your kids to work day". Not for me though... I'm heading home for a few days, before the tour hits Copenhagen.

2009-06-27 Stade de France, Paris, France

== Notes ==
Dave Gahan says in the video version of this interview:
One of the most memorable shows was Stade de France, two tours ago. I had been unwell, and I kinda had a break, and I had some hospital stuff happening, some health issues. And it was the first show that I had come back to on stage. And it felt so good to be healthy and walk on stage, and I felt the support of everybody. You walk onto a stage, and there's 60.000 people! It's a different feeling.
M83 was the support act. Anton Corbijn was in attendance and took photos.

== Notes ==
Here is the diary entry for Depeche Mode's official tour blog:
There was a red devil running around catering today. Not quite sure what that was all about... perhaps the food was devilishly good today? Motor went down a storm, and was completely over the moon after their set. Great to see the Depeche crowd embracing them. Seems Depeche made the right choice in inviting them along.
I had my family come down for the show, so we were all sat together. First time I watched the show from a seated position - seeing the floor turn into this massive moving thing during stompers like "A Question Of Time" and "Enjoy The Silence" was simply awesome. Weird how a different position in the venue makes one notice and appreciate different things.
Local heroes, and 'special guests' during Touring The Angel, The Raveonettes, came back after the show to say hi. Lovely!

== Notes ==
This concert was moved from 2009-06-02 HSH Nordbank Arena, Hamburg, Germany.
Here is the diary entry for Depeche Mode's official tour blog:
An almost unbearable heat meant a lot of walks out back to grab bottles of cold water - a trip that was made increasingly dangerous, as Dave took to racing golf carts around the the place. A regular Dennis the Menace that guy - damn near ran me over... twice!!
Tonight's show was nothing short of amazing. Best one yet, by my count. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what made this show stand out - everything just kind of came together perfectly. The crowd was on fire from start to finish, the band were in high spirits and rocking, Dave was all smiles throughout and the sound was simply spot.
Not even a mystery-technical glitch, that temporarily shut down the PA for about 10 seconds during the epic part of "Never Let Me Down Again" could detract from the experience. If anything, it just added to it.
What a night!

2009-07-06 Esplanade Gambetta, Carcassonne, France

== Notes ==
Here is the diary entry for Depeche Mode's official tour blog:
"Look, there's the castle."
Castle? As we were on the plane to Carcassonne from Barcelona, while gearing up to land, we noticed what looked like a castle that only an imagination can conjure - well, my imagination, at least. But it was indeed real. The "castle" is in actuality the fortified city of Carcassonne and tonight, we played the Espalanade Gambetta, a town square. It was a unique venue and refreshing from the usual stadium fare. Needles to say, we were all pretty excited to be a part of such a seemingly magical place.
We had a late time slot - 9:30pm stage - so to kill time, a few of us became embroiled in a vicious game of.....foosball. Bodyguards vs. Band. Who won? Just look at Martin's expression and I think you'll be able to figure it out.
See you in Valladolid!

2009-07-09 Bilbao BBK Live Festival, Bilbao, Spain

== Notes ==
This was the last time that Peace was played live. According to Michael Lyons, Andy Fletcher's brother-in-law, two out of three band members wanted to stop performing this song. They discussed replacing it with 'In Sympathy', but it seems that they did not follow through with this. They tried replacing it with 'Fragile Tension' for one night but were not satisfied with it. So they put Policy Of Truth (which was already being played every night) in its slot, and then put a rotating "Martin Gore solo" track in the remaining empty slot.
During this concert, Dave Gahan tore his calf muscle, meaning that the consecutive two concerts, 2009-07-11 Super Bock Super Rock Festival, Porto, Portugal and 2009-07-12 Olimpic Stadium, Sevilla, Spain had to be cancelled. Dave told Cafe Magazine in 2013:
"I pulled my calf muscle. I was jumping around on stage and suddenly it felt like someone had thrown a rock at my leg. I could not put my foot down. Chris, our drummer, looked at me in the middle of the drum section while I was jumping around on one leg, pointing at my calf and mouthed the words "I CAN'T PUT MY FOOT DOWN". There were three songs left and we managed to finish the show. The stage had a hard cement floor and it turned out that I had torn my entire calf muscle."

2009-07-24 Molson Amphitheatre, Toronto, ON, Canada

== Notes ==
According to Billboard, it was sold out (16,128 people) and they grossed $891,358.
This was the only time that Fragile Tension was played live. According to Michael Lyons, Andy Fletcher's brother-in-law, two out of three band members wanted to stop performing 'Peace' for the remainder of the tour. They discussed replacing it with 'In Sympathy', but it seems that they did not follow through with this. They tried replacing it with Fragile Tension for this night but were not satisfied with it. So after this gig, they put Policy Of Truth (which was already being played every night) in its slot, and then put a rotating "Martin Gore solo" track in the remaining empty slot.
Dave makes a mistake during Fragile Tension: he sings "there's something magical in our genes", while the correct vocal "there's something mystical in our genes" is sang by Martin.
Here is the diary entry for Depeche Mode's official tour blog:
Hello, everyone!
The North American tour has begun. After a short break, and an unfortunate calf muscle tear, Dave has returned to full form and the band is ready to take on a new continent!
We played the Toronto Molson Amphitheatre and the Montreal Bell Centre. Despite the difference in language, the thousands of Canadian fans in attendance at both gigs had one thing in common: they rock and they love the Mode!
The new leg brought some exciting changes to the set list and judging from the crowd's reactions, it was well received.
Check out the new photos and live vicariously through our North American travels.
We're currently in D.C, the capital of the US, getting ready to play our first US gig tomorrow at the Nissan Pavilion. I wonder if Obama needs tickets?
See you in America!

==Notes==
Alan Cross interviewed Martin and Andy before their concert in Toronto that night, for Explore Music Radio:
"The noise from the adjacent room on the second floor backstage at the Molson Amphitheatre sounded like a fight, complete with flying debris and breaking furniture. Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher were evidently really going at it. But before you get the wrong idea, the commotion was merely a very serious pre-gig game of foosball. Our interview would have to wait until a winner was declared. Eventually, there was a simultaneous groan/cheer mixed with a few bad words. Seconds after that, Martin and Fletch walked into the room and perched a leather couch. It was hard to say who had bested whom at the foosball table, but Martin definitely looked the happier of the two. What follows is the only interview scheduled for the North American leg of the Sounds of the Universe album. (BTW, Dave Gahan was absent. He would, however, bounce into the room during a meet-and-greet an hour later.)"
