The 101 concert is one of the finest moments in Depeche Mode's lengthy career. DM fans simply cannot miss this. Even non-fans will be converted. DM is absolutely awesome live- one of the best live bands I've ever seen. With 101, they proved to the detractors out there that they were a serious band and had a huge following in America- how many bands so far in history can honestly say that they sold out the Rose Bowl?- only a handful of bands can claim that. I only wish that the director had included more behind the scenes and interviews of the band themselves during that time. The DVD version that came out a few years ago has some cool extra features, including recent interviews and commentary by Dave, Martin, and Andy(Fletch)- unfortunately Alan Wilder was not included. (Even though Alan left the band more than ten years ago, he will always be a part of DM for me and a lot of fans.) Anyways, basically what I'm trying to say is- Go see 101 now!
