    'a definite must-see'

    I've watched my copy of 'Depeche Mode 101' so many times I've had to replace my videotape at least twice. All of the band members look their rip-rocking best, but if any of the members could give David Gahan a sizable competition for 'Best-Looking Musician In A Band,' that title would have to go to their former keyboardist Alan Wilder since he's the most striking mixture of rock-and-roll decadence and postmodern beauty I've ever seen on screen and in concert. Incidentally, I've seen Depeche Mode in concert three times and I still try to outvoice their lead singer! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend '101' or any of their other concert videos. And one more thing: check out how sexy Alan looks in that leather bomber jacket and jeans and put him side by side with David and see which one you think looks the better in your opinion. And as for the tour bus double-bed scene, that is one of the funniest outtakes of the movie.

    Very different from what I expected

    As "Depeche Mode 101" (1989 release; 118 ,in) opens, the guys in Depeche Mode drive into the Rose Bowl in a convertible, to announce that on June 18, 1988, they will play the very last show of their "Music For the Masses" world tour at the Pasadena venue. We then go back in time as the band is in the US leg of the tour... At this point we are 10 minutes into the movie.

    Couple of comments: this film is co-directed by none other than D. A. Pennebacker himself. I've had the live album of the same name (taped entirely at the Pasadena show) in my extensive CD collection for many years, but as crazy as it sounds, I had never seen the documentary of the same name. Imagine my surprise that the documentary was very different from what I expected. I thought it would be a straight-forward rendering of the Pasadena show, but as it turns out, the Pasadena show is not featured much at all. Instead we get a road movie of what life is like for a band fast on the rise as DM was back then. Even more fascinating, it shows a time capsule of what the US was like back then in the late 80s, more than 30 years ago. As to Depeche Mode, they look so incredibly young, but you can also see what this could lead to. One of the reviewers here terms this "Depeche Mode At Their Height" and I will respectfully disagree with that. After "Music For The Masses", DM truly became a global phenom with albums like 1990's "Violator" and 1993's "Songs of Faith and Devotion". It is in fact on that 1993-94 "Devotional" tour that the band reached its absolute peak in creativity and live prowess (but that's just my opinion, of course).

    "Depeche Mode" is currently streaming on Showtime, where I caught it the other night, among many other music documentaries available there. If you are a fan of Depeche Mode and, like me, you know the 101 album but had never seen the movie, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

    The Definitive Rock Show!

    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!

    David Gahan is so hot

    I think this film is great as a documentary and as a musical event but for me one of the BIGGEST selling points PERIOD is that David Gahan, DM's lead singer, is at his absolute HOTTEST in this movie. Not only is he looking incredible in those white jeans and black leather jacket, but his singing performances are all-out awesome, especially when you consider that most people think of DM as leaning heavily on electronics, when in fact's Gahan's voice has been one of the main carrying forces. If you're a DM fan, especially if you were one during this particluar late 80s time period, you MUST see this!

    A NICE TIME CAPSULE

    First saw this movie in 1989. Just re-watched again. It's a great look back on that moment when Depeche Mode was just about to break big....even though they had a huge following in the alternative music scene for a few years. The fans on the bus are kinda annoying, but typical for that time period (and a few of them had amazing 80's hair!). Would have liked to have seen the band interact with the fans at bit more...but I can understand why they kept their distance! Depeche Mode's live performances on this tour were amazing. Only wish there were a few more interviews with the band members But what's there is interesting.

    The soundtrack may be my favorite live album ever.

    • Trivia
      The Depeche Mode fan tradition of the audience waving their arms in unison during the song "Never Let Me Down Again" started with the Pasadena performance shown in "101". In 2006, on the "Music For The Masses" documentary DVD, Martin Gore said: "Dave [Gahan] often says that he doesn't know how he came up with the idea, when we were playing at the Rose Bowl. But he just, like, started waving his arms in the air; and, uh, you know, the whole crowd, just...in unison, started doing it back."
