Depeche Mode's Playing The Angel was one of the most successful, highly grossing and critically acclaimed tours of the last year. Hailed as the greatest live performances of their career, it can be re-lived with this special edition 2-disc DVD set, featuring the full-length live show capturing the band at their pulsating best, and a host of exclusive extras.
The European leg of the world tour followed 21 American dates and featured four UK shows - including two at London's Wembley Arena. It sold-out 69 arena dates throughout 30 countries, with 800,000 tickets sold in Europe alone, and was their first since 2001's 'Exciter', where they played to nearly two million people.
The stage was designed by long term collaborator Anton Corbijn.
The first DVD features over 20 stunning live songs, including the recent hit singles 'Precious', 'A Pain That I'm Used To' and 'John The Revelator', plus the definitive 'Just Can't Get Enough', 'I Feel You', 'Enjoy The Silence' and many more. DVD2 features a range of exclusive extras, including: two bonus live songs - 1986's smash-hit 'A Question of Lust' and 'Playing The Angel's 'Damaged People' - plus a 20-minute documentary featuring Anton Corbijn, who directed the video for 'John The Revelator' and created the tour's five stage screens, which also appear here.
Additionally, the DVD boasts the official tour announcement from Germany, summer 2005, and the previously unreleased 'Playing The Angel' electronic press kit

An essemtial purchase for any Mode fan, and for those new to the band. Live in Milan captures the band at their finest - although the classic "Devotional" era cannot be touched!! - for many a year. Stunning show perfectly captured for posterity.
Closing the set with "Goodnight Lovers" is an act of genius.
Roll on the O2 in May
The greatest band in the world have just announced a Tour of the Universe and a new CD so to get you in the mood this is worth a purchase.
This is the version to go for as the audio CD is very good. I'm a huge fan of DM and if final song "Goodnight Lovers" does not leave a lump in your throat then there is no hope for you.
I am an absolute fan of depeche mode and have been for 15 years unfortunately i didn't get to see this concert but i saw the last one from exciter in Birmingham and i was literally 2 meters from Dave gahan. The band have so much energy live and i love there music immensely. This concert still shows that Depeche mode still have many more years left and there concerts seem to get better.
Buy Devotional aswell
what a dvd just go out and buy it,depeche are brilliant
This is brilliant, all their greatest hits and performing at their very best, with the stamina and energy from Dave Gahan, moody lyrics and serene tones from Gore and flambuoyant keyboards and concentration from Andy Fletcher (all 3 are genuinely performing straight from the soul) I could watch it again and again, roll on next 26 years!
