Depeche Mode 101

RS: 4of 4 Stars

Documentary

Finally -- a DVD of the greatest New Wave concert film of all time. is an essential Eighties time capsule, as Depeche Mode spread blasphemous rumors through America. Dave Gahan's white jeans look hotter than ever, especially when the entire Rose Bowl joins him to sing the climactic version of "Never Let Me Down Again." The excellent extras include where-are-they-now interviews with the fans (Oliver cut his hair!) and the band. Personal to Martin Gore: Love the new teeth!
