D.A. Pennebaker's documentary of Depeche Mode's 1988 world tour shows how an effete glam-goth synth-pop band from Essex, England, could ultimately sell out Pasadena, California's Rose Bowl. Woven in is up-close footage of a busload of eager, young, oft-inebriated fans, but Pennebaker renders the band just as intimately — singer Dave Gahan, elegantly waifish, gently applies his makeup and reminisces about his days of stocking supermarket shelves.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
