== Notes ==
A good audience recording. Treble is fairly shrill.
I will likely have the opportunity to transfer Falko's cassette masters from the Devotional and Exotic tours at some point, including this one.

1994-07-04 Pine Knob Music Theatre, Detroit, MI, USA

== Notes ==
Here is Daryl Bamonte's entry for the famous Devotional Tour Diary, published in Bong magazine in 1994:
July 4th, DETROIT: The three fans, Stymie, his girlfriend and their best friend Jesus thought it would be fun to stand in the front row last night and hold up red cards (they’ve just discovered football over here). Found out that Jesus’ real name was Dave, which seemed like a funny name for The Messiah – until I REALLY thought about it… We had our end-of-tour party last night. Andy Franks spent an hour chatting up a gorgeous blonde called Brandy. No-one had the heart to tell him it was Martin in drag. The highlight of the night was “Torture Man”, who, well, tortures himself…
July 5th, DETROIT: I was so tired last night that I had to sit down onstage, and when I looked round I noticed that the others were doing the same, even Alan. (He was playing the drums though...).
According to the Detroit Free Press, this concert was sold out.
Stabbing Westward and Primal Scream were the support acts.

A good audience recording. Some noisy people around the taper, but otherwise a relatively solid recording with nothing significant to complain about.

1994-08-27 Reading Festival, Reading, UK

== Notes ==
Primal Scream, who had been a support act for Depeche Mode, performed at the Reading Festival on this day. Dave Gahan traveled from Los Angeles to London to celebrate London's Notting Hill Carnival, attend an "UnLedded" Led Zeppelin TV special, attend Martin Gore's wedding to his first wife, and jump on stage with Primal Scream. Gahan played harmonica during one of their songs, called 'Loaded'. Video footage of this impromptu performance is commonly found on video sharing site YouTube.
N.B.: Kristin Chalberg of Sire/Warner Records, who attended Gore's wedding, reported on the internet at the time that Gahan, Andrew Fletcher and Alan Wilder had been present at the wedding and all the wedding guests including Gore and his then-wife attended the Reading Festival together. Gore appeared onstage during Primal Scream's performance to say a few words.

The day after Dave Gahan attended the KROQ Acoustic Christmas festival where he was mainly attending Oasis' concert, Dave Gahan continued hanging out with Oasis, and then even appeared on their stage the next night. Noel Gallagher of Oasis revealed this info on a BBC radio show on December 18th 2015:
Steve Lamacq: Ever been properly tempted by the harmonica?
Noel Gallagher: I think Oasis might have had it on a couple of tracks, and I have written a couple of tunes which required some kind of harmonica. But it's a weird thing: I remember once when we did an after... Oasis played the Hollywood Bowl or something in the '90s, and Dave Gahan turned up, and we had promised our really good friend at the time, Johnny Depp, that we would see with whom we'd do the Viper Room, and Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode had turned up, and said "Can I get up on stage with you?" And we were, like "Pfff ehhh", so I'm going off guitars, mate, as he pulled out from his powdered blue blazer a harmonica. And we were like, "Ohhh", "Ohhhhhh, I don't know what we're gonna do about this." I kinda left him. I said to Liam, "You're gonna wriggle out of this one, I can't."
Steve Lamacq: Not taking the responsibility.
Noel Gallagher: Yeah, but we had a great night out with him, actually. There was the story that he'd overdosed, and it was a thing that went on for[ever] like, "He's dead", and then "He wasn't dead". And me and Liam were in a taxi in LA which is as rare as chocolate rocking horse, a taxi. We were going back to his house, and the taxi driver's saying, "Hey! You three guys look like you're in a band! Bla bla bla!" So we said, "Yeah, we're in Oasis". "Oh!" And he went "I'm in Depeche Mode", and the driver just says, "Didn't your singer just die?!" Dave Gahan said, "No, I'M the singer!" And there was this brilliant, 5-minute, kind of back-and-forward of Dave Gahan having to prove that he was still living, while me and our kid were nutting each other, losing our heads [laughing silently].
Steve Lamacq: If only Dave Gahan had been wearing the full white suit. It could have been "Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)"!
Noel Gallagher: No, if only we have had the iPhone and had been filming it in the back of the van, because he was going, "No, look mate, I am HIM! I am ALIVE! Am I not, lads?" And we were going, "Well, I don't know, I mean we have been out all night, I'm not sure whether [you're alive], let's check your pulse." And the guy was going, "No, I think I've seen it on the news", he was like "Your singer died, right?"

Jason Bentley interviewed his friend Tim Simenon in Los Angeles on his show 'Metropolis'. Tim had just finished the second recording session with Depeche Mode for Ultra, and Jason asked him about this experience. Daniel "BRAT" Barassi recorded the excerpt of this interview in which Jason asks about Depeche Mode, and BRAT uploaded it on his fan-site here (where it can still be downloaded), a year before he became Depeche Mode's webmaster. We have transcribed the excerpt for you below.

=== Transcript ===
Jason Bentley: Next, we turn to my friend and producer Bomb The Bass, hello Tim Simenon, welcome to KCRW.
Tim Simenon: Hi, how are you doing?
Jason: Looking back on an extensive career that has involved Neneh Cherry, and Sinead O'Connor, and Depeche Mode, and David Bowie, and many others, was there any one point where it clicked for you and said "This is my career. I'm gonna be here as a producer, making records, and..."?
Tim: Yes, with Depeche Mode especially, because, as a teenager, I was a big fan, so me working with them now has kind of hit home.
Jason: Just to fill people in, you are currently producing Depeche Mode's record, which is due out and to be finished at the end of the year?
Tim: That's right. Well, it probably won't be out till the spring of next year, April/May [for] the album, and the single probably [in] January or February.
Jason: I wanna talk about the creative process with you. How do you address all of this? You walk in the room, okay, and there's Depeche Mode, and it's 10AM, or maybe it's later...
Tim: Much later.
Jason: Much later. And you say, "Okay, now, let's go." Does it work out to be something? Like, do you walk away from these situations with lifelong friends? Or is it very business-like, like "Okay, we've gotta finish this, let's do it", and then it's over?
Tim: No, it's really not, like, business-like at all. I mean, obviously there's always gonna be a schedule. But fortunately I'm in a position to being able to work with people I wanna work with. So it's always like a fairly relaxing atmosphere. And also, I think the actual partnership starts really in me hearing the songs first, and actually feeling that I can actually contribute something towards them. If that's not the case, I'll definitely pass on it. So everything I've worked on is something I was into.

1997-02-06 Naar Eer en Geweten, VPRO, Amstel Hotel, Amsterdam, Netherlands

==Notes==
A conversation with all three members of Depeche Mode, at the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam, on the 6th of February 1997. The interviewer had a stack of cards with questions on them, and the artists would have to pick their own cards and answer the questions. Interviewer Leonieke Daalder: "I had never been at the Amstel Hotel before; an intimidating setting. The band was surrounded by all sorts of staff of the record companies from both the Netherlands and England. I hadn't expected it to be so grand: Depeche Mode is much more famous in the rest of the world than they ever have been in the Netherlands. The group did the interviews separately: Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher together in a room, Dave Gahan in another room. It didn't really work with Fletcher and Gore, but Gahan didn't need much persuasion."
This interview was aired on the 6th of February 1997. Then in 2003, VPRO uploaded all of their "Naar Eer en Geweten" interviews on their site as MP3 podcasts here (now a dead link). The interview with Fletch & Martin and with Dave have been merged into one file.
