Devotional (video)


Devotional – A Performance Filmed by Anton Corbijn is a video release by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode, featuring almost an entire concert from their 1993 Devotional Tour, filmed in Barcelona, Liévin and Frankfurt. It was directed by Anton Corbijn, and released in 1993. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video in 1995. The soundtrack was recorded in Liévin, Stade Couvert Régional, on 29 July 1993.
This tour was particularly notable for the personal troubles the band members were struggling with at the time, most notably Dave Gahan's heroin addiction. The video is the last release to feature Alan Wilder before his departure in 1995.
In 2004, the film was re-released on DVD, featuring extras, such as songs that were left out of the VHS movie for time, isolated footage of set list projections, an interview with Corbijn on Devotional, pictures from the Devotional Tour programme, and all the music videos from the Songs of Faith and Devotion era. For the first time, the complete soundtrack of Liévin is available. Only a few moments of dead air and speech were edited out.
