 DEPECHE MODE 2006 November 14, 2007
Jaime Mayol (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic)
Before I saw the concert I loved this group. Now is my favorite. I had wached it more than 5 times and still not tired of it. I even have a 17 Depeche Mode Audio CD in my car that I burned from before now it's updated with the new songs. I recomended it to a friend and he also sees it over and over everytime he has a chance. In the Tour Documentary they said they try to top the current tour over the last one. I can't wait to see what they'll come up with next.

 Very Good DVD...Minor Glitches September 18, 2007

I've been a DM fan since the early 1990's, when I first heard "Violator" and "Music For the Masses". "Touring the Angel" is a pretty good outing, and you get a lot for your money with this DVD: A full concert DVD disc, an extra feature DVD disc, and an audio-only CD (which unfortunately contains only songs from the Playing the Angel album, no others).
Dave Gahan is in much better form than he was on the "One Night in Paris" DVD; he looks healthier, and sings on key to a much greater degree. However, I do believe the audio was better on the Paris DVD. While "Touring" has a DTS audio option not present on "Paris", I found it a big disappointment: Christian Eigner's drums basically disappear in DTS. When I switched to Dolby 5.1, voila...the drums magically appeared. This is an important factor, since Eigner is a big part of DM's live sound on "Angel". Eigner also played drums on "Paris", and he definitely adds extra adrenaline to the DM live set list. "Walking In My Shoes", for example, sounds better live with Eigner than it does on the studio version.
The extra feature disc provides some interesting insights. Of particular note are the interviews with the the band members. Gahan appears to infer that he would be perfectly happy if DM were to reach the end of the line (at least that is the way I read it). Perhaps this is a reflection of the reported conflicts about Gahan's past frustrations about wanting more songwriting influence on DM's albums (and for the first time, he did write/cowrite some tunes on "Angel") Andy Fletcher and Martin Gore seem to feel that DM still has a lot of creativity left, and look forward to more DM albums in the future. One could foresee Gahan perhaps moving on at some future date with Eigner.
Overall my impression is that "Touring the Angel" is well worth having for the devoted Depeche Mode fan. The DVD does a fine job of documenting DM's latest live concert tour, and showcases just how good of an album "Playing the Angel" really is.
Mode at it's best! May 3, 2007

I didn't like it very much at first viewing/listening. But that's only because I didn't know the "Playing the Angel" songs. I am mainly listening to the bonus CD (which is AMAZING). Dave is great and Gore is best as ever!
The DVD is kind of boring, but I'm sure the show was great in person. Just once, I wish Dave would leave his shirt on...PLEASE! We need to start a petition.
Excelente concierto, muy bien dvd March 13, 2007
German Tejada Cordova (Lima, Lima Peru)
Tuve la suerte de ver por primera vez en mi vida a Depeche Mode en concierto y fue un sueno hecho realidad. Despues de sortear muchos impedimentos (el principal la obtencion de la visa, pero aun mas el permiso de mi esposa !!!) finalmente los vi en vivo en Florida.
Lastima que cancelaron el primer concierto -es obvio que por no vender muchos tickets- afuertonadamente compre el segundo. En resumen EL CONCIERTO DE MI VIDA.
Ahora, sobre el DVD. La calidad de la imagen es buenisima. Tengo un TV Sony pantalla plana y se ve increible. Como se vera en LCD?????
El sonido tambien es optimo. Si tienen DTS decoder, usenlo. dOLBY Digital es al DTS como el sonido mono al Stereo.
Es una lastima que Suffer Well este tan mal editado -o con tan mal criterio- que la primera vez uno cree que el dvd player esta fallando. Con muchos cortes y efectos. Que estaria pensando el director??????????
Por que no fue A. Corjbin de nuevo???
Por que no le dan los masters a Anton y le piden que haga su version? se imagina???????
Vale la pena?? Claro que si. Si quieren introducir a alguien a DM, de seguro se hara un fan. Si eres ya tu un fan, no te lo pierdas. Y si los viste esta vez en vivo, COMPRALO ya !!!!!!!
