<metadesc>Downloads of soundboard, FM, and audience recordings from Depeche Mode's extensive live career. Tour information is also provided.</metadesc>
This wiki offers downloads for the best soundboard, FM, and audience recordings of Depeche Mode's extensive live career. Tour information is also provided. We include as much detailed information as possible about each recording's background.

This site is not intended to serve as a download archive of every recording under the sun at the moment, although we are making slow progress toward that status. We do provide info for each tour date, however. If you are a hardcore collector and want every possible recording, even ones which sound like they have been recorded from outside the venue, [http://www.dimeadozen.org DIME] or trading with other collectors would currently be better options for you.

None of these recordings contain officially or commercially released tracks. Only recordings of independent origin or recordings which had analog or digital broadcasts are available for download here. This site does not host any recordings directly, and hosts only metadata files for the recordings.

We also have an extensive [[:Category:Interviews|interview section]] featuring full transcripts and audio files where available, as well as background information regarding each interview.

Setlists for most tour dates are provided as well, though we are lacking info for many early tour dates. Other media such as ticket scans, setlist sheet photos, and pro-shot news snippets are also provided if available. We have [[:Category:Unconfirmed setlist|a list of dates with unconfirmed setlists]], so if you can confirm the setlist of a concert, please help us out by filling it in!

:Added a fresh transfer of Elly A's 1st generation audience recording from [[1984-12-05 Münsterlandhalle, Münster, Germany]]. '''[[1984-12-05 Münsterlandhalle, Münster, Germany/Source 1|Stream and download it here.]]'''

;June 5, 2015
:Added a fresh retransfer of Brent Graham's good audience master recording from [[1994-03-08 Tennis Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia]] here: [[1994-03-08 Tennis Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia/Source 1|Source 1]]

;May 23, 2015
:New additions:
*[[1982-03-26 Metropol, Berlin, Germany/Source 1]]: upgrade; good audience recording, clearer and less hissy sounding version than the one previously available
*[[1983-10-01 Apollo, Oxford, England, UK/Source 1]]: uncirculated partial audience recording, but pretty bad sounding; this one's pretty much only for the collectors

;May 19, 2015
:Stream & download a good sounding incomplete audience recording, previously uncirculated, from [[1990-06-26 Blossom Music Center, Cuyahoga Falls, OH, USA]] here: [[1990-06-26 Blossom Music Center, Cuyahoga Falls, OH, USA/Source 1|Source 1]]

;May 9, 2015
:Sorry about the slow progress! Some new recordings:
*[[1981-09-26 Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands/Source 3]]: incomplete audience recording of the concert, still video-sourced but without the horrendous buzzing / ringing noise throughout. More muffled and hissy, but I still prefer that over the headache-inducing buzzing and ringing of the video soundtrack.
*[[1984-03-06 Orfeo Music Hall, Milan, Italy/Source 1]]: reworked version of 38f's audience master, now speed-corrected with improved channel balance & dynamics
*[[1987-10-22 Pabellon De Real Madrid, Madrid, Spain/Source 1]]: very good and properly speed-corrected, channel balanced second-generation audience recording from the first gig of the [[:Category:1987-1988 Music For The Masses Tour|1987-1988 Music For The Masses Tour]]
*[[1988-04-29 Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountainview, CA, USA/Source 1]]: very good audience recording, including [[Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth]]
I am still working on having all recordings from the [[:Category:1986 Black Celebration Tour|1986 Black Celebration Tour]] available as well.

;April 11, 2015
:Stream & download a fresh retransfer & remaster of the incomplete soundboard recording from [[1986-05-16 Alsterdorfer Sporthalle, Hamburg, Germany]] at [[1986-05-16 Alsterdorfer Sporthalle, Hamburg, Germany/Source 2|Source 2]].
