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 240 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!

- Some upgrades and additions for the 1983-1984 Construction Time Again Tour:
- 1983-09-12 Colston Hall, Bristol, England, UK/Source 1: 4th generation audience recording, much better sounding source compared to the previous version
- 1983-12-20 Stadthalle, Bremen, Germany/Source 1: speed-corrected and mostly de-clicked lossless source; still a decent audience recording at best
- 1983-12-23 Musikhalle, Hamburg, Germany/Source 2: alternate source without destructive noise reduction causing annoying artifacts, but much more muffled
A 24-bit / 48khz version of 1982-02-21 Tiffany's, Glasgow, Scotland, UK/Source 1 has also been made available for download.
- August 15, 2015
- All circulating recordings from the 1987-1988 Music For The Masses Tour are now available to stream & download. Please note that the torrent filesets are still being uploaded to my seedbox and all torrents will be seeded in about four days, but feel free to enjoy the streams and queue up the torrents in your torrent client in the meantime!

- Added a speed-corrected fresh retransfer of twoshed's master FM broadcast recording from 1984-11-03 Hammersmith Odeon, London, England, UK. Stream & download it here.

- Some minor additions and an upgrade:
- 1981-06-01 Bridge House, London, England, UK/Source 2: FLAC version, but sounds worse than the MP3 224kbps version (at Source 1), ironically. Made available primarily for collectors.
- 1983-12-10 Musenaal, Mannheim, Germany/Source 1: Upgrade of the already very good audience recording involving speed correction, 260 pops and clicks manually eliminated from the last 17 minutes of the recording, and use of a slightly better sounding original source.
- 1984-06-02 Suedwest Stadium, Ludwigshafen, Germany/Source 2: 7-track French FM broadcast. DJ talks too much. Had to make it mono (right channel unusable), and quality doesn't beat the complete copy at Source 1, but it's still certainly listenable. Another recording made available primarily for collectors.
More to come soon - about halfway done with preparing the MFTM tour for the wiki.
