Depeche Mode - Devotional

Description

First time on DVD! Filmed on Depeche Mode's triumphant tour in 1993, DEVOTIONAL showcases the band at its most raw and energetic, and the rock star antics of captivating lead singer, Dave Gahan. The two-level stage set, video images, and film projections were conceived by top rock photographer Anton Corbijn and lighting designer Patrick Woodroffe. Drawing heavily from the Songs Of Faith And Deviotion album, the tour featured such Depeche classics as Walking In My Shoes, Behind The Wheel, Personal Jesus, and Enjoy The Silence.

rent, rather than buy.......2007-09-14

I don't own any DM albums, but I do like their music. This concert DVD was interesting to watch a couple times - the visuals are intriguing. But the music performed live isn't complex enough to make me want to listen again and again. The singer looks high on E, and lets the crowd sing for him way too much. It's worth watching as a rental, but save your money.

Totally Devot-ed.......2007-07-25

Devotional is the dvd that started my collection. This is the most mystical and the most sensual of all the albums, and this aura comes through so well on the dvd. I have SOFAD permanently installed in my cd player, and on the last note of 'Higher Love' I turn the stereo off-- nothing is worthy enough to follow! I have been a devoted fan since '81... for me, there has never been any other music that can compare.
My first concert was the 'Exciter' tour... which I found to be as electrifying and perfectly performed as any other! It was at the Gorge in Washington State... perhaps that makes a difference?! We have been to every other local concert, including Dave Gahan's 'Paper Monsters' in Seattle. And by 'we', I mean three generations who 'just can't get enough'! It is SO great to have Grampa dancing and clapping along with granddaughter! We are ecstatic that another tour is planned!
People who talk about DM in the past tense amuse me... check out the size of the crowds in any of their videos, and you'll know that Depeche Mode is still here, still vital, and still producing the most incredible music and performances. And the true believers will always be there to support and enjoy them.

Awesome Live and Awesome on DVDq.......2007-01-30

To me this ranks as the best Depeche Mode Concert DVD... the mix of songs is fabulous and the stage setup, mix of instruments and overall enthusiasm of the audience is unmatched. If you don't own this one, I highly recommend it!

depeche mode-great.......2007-01-09

A great flashback concert. I wish they would sing People are People and Master and servant at their concerts but altogether a must for die hard fans.
