On Saturday, June 18, 1988, Depeche Mode played the final show of their Music For The Masses tour. The show, their 101st of the tour, was played to a sold-out Rose Bowl—approximately 80,000 people—in Pasadena, California; this double album documents that night. The live renditions of such classics as ‘Never Let Me Down Again,’ ‘Behind The Wheel,’ and ‘Everything Counts’ easily surpass their studio counterparts: an unmistakable energy, excitement, and drive are present on every song. Best track: ‘Shake The Disease.’
