West Valley City • I was not a Goth kid back in my youth, preferring the hair-metal of Def Leppard to the moody alt-synth of Depeche Mode.
Fortunately, the latter band and my ever-expanding musical tastes have aged well enough that, for a few hours on Wednesday night at Usana Amphitheatre, it was perfectly permissible for me — and about 20,000 other people — to be a Goth adult.
The British band kicked off the North American leg of its “Spirit” tour here in Utah, and while it wasn’t perfect, it was close enough for most of those in attendance.
