Main Page

This wiki offers streams and downloads for all circulating recordings of Depeche Mode's extensive live career. Tour and concert information is also provided.

All circulating recordings are slowly being added, usually in batches of an entire tour. All circulating recordings from the 1980 Tour up to and including the 1987-1988 Music For The Masses Tour are currently streamable and downloadable via torrent. In addition, all circulating recordings from the 1997 Ultra Parties and 2003 "A Night With Martin L. Gore" tours are available.

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 streaming and download here. This site does not host downloads of any recordings directly, and hosts only torrent metadata files for the recordings.

There is also an extensive interview section featuring full transcripts and audio streams where available, as well as background information regarding each interview. There are over 250 interviews currently available.

Set lists for most tour dates are provided as well, though information is lacking for many extremely early tour dates. Other media such as ticket scans, set list sheet photos, and pro-shot news snippets are also provided, where available. There is a list of dates with unconfirmed set lists, so if you can confirm the set list of a concert, please help out by filling it in!

Do you have some old cassette or VHS tapes containing live recordings? Please contact us - see Contributing.

Several additions:

• 1993-06-30 Palais Omnisport De Paris Bercy, Paris, France/Source 1: excellent sounding audience recording; retransfer using a better cassette deck and lineage correction; retransferred & posted today in observance of the tragic attack on Paris that occurred yesterday, hopefully to brighten everyone's spirit a bit

• 2015-11-02 La Cigale, Paris, France/Source 1: good audience recording considering the iPhone 6S Plus used as the recording device; bass is somewhat boomy and distorted at times, but still a listenable recording
