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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

- TriviaThe 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."
