Six songs have backing tape audio available from the Devotional tour. The audio is sourced from an in-studio demonstration VHS, created around the time of the "Devotional" DVD release in 2004. The VHS contains 7 tour projections, 6 of which contain the backing tape audio, the video of "Death's Door" (which still does not appear on any video release of "Devotional"), and what seems to be the "giant screen" feed for [[Enjoy The Silence]] with unmixed soundboard audio. 90 second excerpts of the backing tape audio are provided below. [[Walking In My Shoes]] only has 1:06 worth of audio; the rest of the video contains silence.
