1989-02-19 Cocktail, Radio Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden

==Notes==
Ulo Maasing from Radio Stockholm interviewed Alan Wilder on the programme Cocktail about why they recorded the 101 LP/video, how to make the sound of DM, what it meant for him to join the band in 1982, limitations in live performances, showing a new image of the group in the video 101, technical difficulties with the machines, the fact that DM is not being played on the radio and possible future problems with the band.
This interview was uploaded by YouTube user petzxy in two parts (part 1, part 2). He also wrote the info above and the translations below of Ulo's commentary in Swedish:
00:00 I asked Alan Wilder why they did this film and why they recorded the live LP, what does it add to the groups music?
02:16 Alan wilder is also the latest member in Depeche Mode, it was he who replaced Vince Clarke. Did he have at that time any idea how the entrance in the group would mean to him and his future?
06:25 The special sound, there is a special sound for Depeche Mode, it sounds like no other band, how did that arise I asked Alan Wilder who is the man behind the Depeche-sound at a very very high degree:
08:41 When we are continuing our talk with Alan Wilder from Depeche Mode...
10:12 And now we are returning to the film with Depeche Mode:
14:25 Alan Wilder in Depeche Mode about this megabands musical and other future:
17:25 And I ask him, does this attitude then explain the groups enormous success worldwide, despite the fact that almost no radiostations plays them, not in Sweden, not in USA for example?

1989-02-xx Mean Fiddler, London, UK

== Notes ==
BONG magazine reported in its fifth issue:
A surprise 'concert' was held at the Mean Fiddler in London in honour of Gerry McKenna who was leaving Mute after working there forever! Artists included Nick Cave ('Leaving On A Jetplane') and 'Duo Diablo' - who looked uncannily like Andy Fletcher and Martin Gore! This odd couple did a foot-stomping rendition of 'Thirty Days' which is apparently a "Chuck Berry classic".
Dave Gahan said in the March 1989 issue of German magazine Spex (translated from German): 
"We had a wonderful evening last Friday night, when an employee left the company after eight years and gave a party at the Mean Fiddler, with all of [Mute's] band playing acoustic sets. Nick Cave, Erasure, Wire, us - it went on all night. [Being with Mute] matters a lot - it's like a family."
There are no known photos or recordings of "Duo Diablo"'s performance.

1989-04-xx Les Cents Et Une Nuits, Best Magazine, Paris, France

==Notes==
Depeche Mode went to Paris on February 20th 1989 to attend the very first premiere of their film '101' at Club d'Etoile. While there, they not only attended a platinum award presentation for 'Music For The Masses' at La Locomotive, but they also did an interview with Isabelle Karcher for Best Magazine. Best magazine used this interview as a cover story for their April 1989 issue (which you can read here), and they included a cassette tape containing this interview, called "Les Cents Et Une Nuits" ("101 nights"). Isabelle dubs the interview, so it is difficult to hear what all members of Depeche Mode are saying unless you speak French. This tape lasts 49:27 minutes and is interspersed with song excerpts. For the re-upload below, the songs have been cut off.
*Duration: 20:57 (out of 49:27 minutes)

Dave Gahan is being interviewed by Dutch radio station Radio 3. Belgian fan Stefan Moernaut uploaded this interview in 1997 on tuug.utu.fi, but unfortunately, to save space, he only uploaded Dave's answers. Fortunately he did write down the Dutch commentary/questions, in English.

===Transcript===
Depeche Mode is best known in Holland for songs like People Are People, Just Can't Get Enough and A Question Of Lust. In the last couple of years, Depeche Mode hasn't been very popular at all in Holland, but a new album, which should change all this, will be released in just a couple of weeks. We're talking about that with singer David Gahan. Why did Depeche Mode call the album Violator?
[Dave's answer]
Depeche Mode exists for almost 10 years now. Does Depeche Mode really see this album as a fresh start?
[Dave's answer]
So you're just not that successful in Holland; are the Dutch people different then?
[Dave's answer]
With their new single Enjoy The Silence Depeche Mode has, however, a new hit single in Holland after 4 years.
[Enjoy The Silence plays]
That was Depeche Mode with Enjoy The Silence. A group that works intensively with Anton Corbijn. He makes their video clips and sleeve pictures. How is it to work with a Dutch guy like him?
[Dave's answer]
Anton Corbijn is until now the only good thing about Holland, for Depeche Mode. 
[Dave's answer]
The tasks in Depeche Mode are completely divided. Dave sings, but all songs are written by Martin Gore.
[Dave's answer]
This is a live recording from the band, recorded on the 18th of July 1988 at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. 70.000 people were there, witnessing, amongst other songs, the biggest Depeche Mode hit in Holland: Just can't get enough.
[Just Can't Get Enough plays]

1990-03-1x 91X, San Diego, California, USA

== Notes ==
With the 25th anniversary of the release of Depeche Mode’s smash album Violator quickly approaching next month, Slicingupeyeballs.com figured it was a great time to dust off this old tape from the Slicing Up Eyeballs archives that features a pair of DJs on San Diego’s 91X FM excitedly premiering the album a few days before its release on March 20, 1990. In an era of illicit leaks and sanctioned pre-release album streams, it’s easy to forget that, outside of a single or two, it was rare to hear anything off a new album ahead of its release — which is why this is such a great glimpse at the monstrous excitement that accompanied the release of Violator back in 1990.
On this 5-minute segment of airtime, you will hear 91x DJs Oz and Mike Halloran discussing the Violator CD that Halloran literally had to drive to Los Angeles to retrieve in the days ahead of its release. They discuss the tracklist, the album artwork and the liner notes, then play, for the first time on San Diego radio, future singles “World In My Eyes” and “Policy of Truth,” plus “Halo.” (The actual songs have been cut from this tape to avoid the whole thing being taken down by Soundcloud’s copyright-protection robots.)
After playing the songs, Halloran chats with a record label rep on the phone, who announces the soon-to-be-infamous Wherehouse in-store appearance coming up on the album’s release date, March 20, which leaves Halloran accurately predicting, “We’re expecting total melee outside” the record store.

==Notes==
NRJ Radio was going to hold a 'Special Depeche Mode Day' in March 1990 for the then-new album 'Violator'. They asked Andy Fletcher to do an ID greeting over the phone. Andy was in New York in mid-March 1990 to do video- and photoshoots with Anton Corbijn for the new album, as well as interviews. Fletch can be heard saying: "[...] Depeche Mode. I'm sorry we can't be with you in Paris at the moment, but we're in New York in America, recording new videos for our album 'Violator'. You can hear this album on NRJ Radio on a 'Special Depeche Mode Day'. Love to all the fans, love from Depeche Mode."

1990-03-2x Wherehouse incident footage

== Notes ==
A compilation of about 20 minutes of raw news and police footage from the 1990-03-20 Wherehouse record store incident exists in Warner Brothers' record library. Notably, one news channel's interview between Los Angeles city councilman Zev Yaroslavsky and KROQ radio DJ Richard Blade appears at the end of the video.
DM Live acquired one such copy of the tape, dubbed on March 27, 1990. This videotape has been captured with professional equipment and optimized for best viewing in your web browser.
This VHS had some playback problems, probably due to age and wear over time. For stable playback, the VCR's "Video Stabilizer" feature was enabled, but this disables the built-in line time-base corrector which cleans up the picture and improves image quality, so the video quality is not as good as it could be. However, considering the nature of the footage, the quality difference is not that significant.

==Notes==
New Order's Peter Hook is being interviewed by James "The Poorman" Trenton, and he claims that Depeche Mode ripped off Enjoy The Silence from New Order's Touched by the Hand of God. He appears to be joking at first, but after a back-to-back comparison, some of the guys in the studio agree that the bassline and tempo look oddly similar. But Hook concludes that that's okay since New Order has ripped Depeche Mode off as well.
This file was uploaded by Glen from Depeche-mode.com, who included it in his 'Breathing In Fumes - podcast 005' on breathinginfumes.podomatic.com (podcast currently offline) and then uploaded it on his SoundCloud.

== Notes ==
This was the first concert of the tour, and in the few days before the concert Depeche Mode rehearsed in the venue and they would see the new stage for the first time. Andy Fletcher told 91.9 WFPK in 2017:
"I always tell a similar story [regarding seeing a stage design for the first time of] one of our earlier tours when we were doing our production rehearsals in Pensacola. When we walked in, all of the lights were on, and our stage set looked like Stonehenge in Spinal Tap. So there's always that fear when we walk in next week into the venue in Stockholm that we'll get the same shock."
Nitzer Ebb was the support act.
