Depeche Mode: 101

1988 is a monumental year for Depeche Mode. After then, they chose to become darker and alternative. They are still 'alive' now in 1999 despite members' ill health (both mental and physical).

This film shows inside stuff on DM very well and even predicts what they are gonna be. They were doomed to be great even when they were regarded as New Wave Pop Band when this film was made.

I think this is a great documentary. It gives a great look behind the scenes of Depeche Mode at one of the greatest points in their career. It is unique how they show fans of D. Mode in the first type of Road Rules atmosphere.

Seeing Depeche Mode live is a wonderful experience and 101 really captures that and so much more.

This is a great documentary of the band in their prime. This is probably where the creators of the Real World got their idea for the show. They take some major fans and allow the access to a tour bus and a ton of concerts and they film the whole thing along with the rigors of touring as Depeche Mode. It is a must see for any fan or anyone else interested in seeing a great behind the scenes take on a band at the height of their career.

I will be taking my daughter to the Memento Mori tour i may and I just gorge in everything Depeche now. I have been a fan since 1983 and as a person who was around in the 80-s I am floored by nostalgia!! We had zero fashion sense but it was a time of naive innocence , we did not take things that seriositet. And really good music. So nice to see Fletch also, Rest Easy!! Dave looks hot, Martin is happy and Alan plays so good.

I just listened to Memento Mori and it has some great songs on there - whatever beef Martin and Dave had they seem to have resolved it now. I am sooo looking forward to see them!

Screw Woodstock! That's what I say! I have no idea if I would enjoy Depeche Mode 101 as much if I didn't love the group as much as I do. But mind you, I've seen a lot of rock docs that I've really liked, yet I wasn't crazy about the artist (Jimi in Monterey for example), so I would imagine I would like this. But since I like the band to begin with, that's a mute point isn't it? DM101 profiles Depeche Mode and their grandiose final concert, their 101st, when they were supporting their amazing album 'Music For The Masses. The concert was at the Pasadena Bowl, and this covers all about the logistics of putting a concert of that size there, profiles some VERY scary 80's kids who win a concert to travel to a couple of concerts performed by the band, and their travels across America! Oh and as for the concerts themselves, the songs are great, and they're shot by D.A. Pennebaker for pete's sakes, so you're going to get the best bang for your buck here!
