This whole concert was made with the fan in mind. No other Depeche Mode show matched the production value of the Devotional tour (Except for maybe the Music for the Masses tour when the lead singer was much healthier.
Several books written about Depeche Mode talk about this tour as one of the biggest drug fuelled tours in history (hardened drug users were shocked at what they saw).
That being said, Dave is in his mode. Sure he may not be as alive and upbeat as the previous tours, however, the music on this album was darker which adds to the visuals. This was also one of the first tours to use a live drum kit. The first time us 'Devotees' got to hear a harder edge to Dmode.
This is also the last concert run with Alan Wilder before he left the chaos of the band. Many people credit him with helping Depeche reach the highs that they did.
All of the songs on this concert are from the Song of Faith and Devotion album. Don't go looking for the biggest hits.
If you are looking fo an amazing sonic experience to match beautiful imagery (Anton Corbjin) then sit in with a drink or a smoke and enjoy!
