Dave's stage presence not impressive

[xk319]

He did some flying (yes, fully airborne) roundhouse kicks during the second Philly show. I think he's just getting warmed up. First time I've seen those this tour.

If people are that concerned with Dave's kicks, then perhaps they should jump up onstage and run towards him. I bet they'd find out real quick how good his kicks are.

I second that! Your ass would be screaming for a dentist...

I could "quote" several brilliant responses "here tonight" But may I say - this could be "strategic" WAIT 'TIL' Tour TWO of "CVH2"(I better patent that!)

... name me 1 band that the singer moves the crowd like Dave does and then maybe we can talk and compare showmanship, besides Mick Jagger there's not a lot outhere, including past, and present time...

Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode...
Just his sexy butt can STILL lift the entire audience to the sky!
I've seen many of their oncerts and everywhere, everytime... he DOES make you sweat!

Sorry but I used to be REALLY be sexually attracted to Diamond Dave so I will certainly miss the all of athletic booty moves...

That said, it will still be an excellent show, no doubt!

only an f'n retard could say something negative about Dave on this tour. He is absolutely amazing. He's sober, singing great, getting all the lyrics rights, and fort those that care, he looks great too. But best of all, I love the sheer joy on his face. He clearly loves and appreciates this crowd and his band like maybe never before.

He's just pissed off that the cool kids won't play with him.

I'll tell ya what I saw from Dave at the show...I saw a man humbled by the reception from the crowd. I saw him giggle, play, flash, kick, twirl, pose, and sing. I saw a man appreciative of the people he was on stage with.

I'm telling ya, if you're going to base your opinion on the boots you're missing the whole experience. There's more to this show than just the sound.

+1 on that one! Dave has plenty of stage presence, trust me...

Purely based on the many current youtube videos and my old boots, my take is this:

The long hair in the vintage videos contributed to making dave look more active somewhat. A constant extra motion around his head if you will.

Currently Dave no longer appears to run at all, he just walks. That's making a big difference in the perceived energy for me. The way he's walking it definitely looks like he has back issues. Unless he's putting on a special "stage walk" as part of his act, I've never seen him have that walk before, it's almost a bit like a seasoned horse rider, slight bowed legs and all.

He's singing better than ever. Live that is. He's coming damned close to the original studio recordings, and far exceeding any previous live singing ability.

Last point, there is one other reference for a great frontman in his 50's who still has lots of energy plus as strong a vocal ability and range as ever. Paul Stanley.

So the Yankee Rose video probably got you hot!

I bet you laughed even more when you found out Dave chose a bag of cocaine over your hot friend? If you weren't in there getting any well then, she shouldn't either!

You certainly ought to bust a nut at the current tour then!

The US Fest was the absolute worst I've ever seen the band -- my ipod stuck in a coffee can sounds better than the lame ass sound rig they had at Glen Helen!!

I have to admit tho'...it was still quite the fuckin' experience!!!

What sound system ,I was smashed up against the stage and could have heard Dave without a microphone .
When he told that dude he would come down there and fuck his girlfreind Dave was only about ten feet away from where I was barely standing.

Stage presence is about more than stage moves.

Dave owns the stage. Most of the Youtube videos I've seen have been following Dave.

Roger Daltrey never moved that much, but the stage was his. Look at a guy like Ronnie Van Zant. He NEVER did anything athletic, but he still controlled and owned the stage.

Dave is more concerned with his SOUND, I think, but he still owns the stage. Being in Australia, I might not get to see these guys, but I can tell from the videos that Dave has each crowd in the palm of his hand.
