The 1993 Devotional Tour was a multi-leg tour undertaken by Depeche Mode in support of their eighth studio album Songs Of Faith And Devotion. The tour was extended by a second leg in which the group played to countries and territories they had never previously visited, including South Africa, Australia, East Asia, South America, and Mexico, as well as additional shows in the United States and Canada.

Quotes

Wilder recalled the versatile system used to determine setlists on the fly in a Q&A on the official Recoil site:

When I was in the group, it was standard practice to change the set if we were playing one venue over 2 or more nights or if we were revisiting an area already played on the tour. We had 8 separate tapes - basically 4 different set-lists (red, green, blue and yellow I think) which were each split into two halves and broken up by an acoustic song somewhere in the middle - which allowed for the tape change. Effectively therefore, we could mix and match any combination of 1st and 2nd half tapes. Along with a few different alternatives for Martin's acoustic songs, this gave us the opportunity to perform many different running orders although all of them had the same overall shape and structure. So, for example, a quick chat beforehand might result in "let's play the blue / red set tonight with 'Somebody' instead of 'I Want You Now' in the middle." We could also change tapes for the encores, if necessary.
