IMDb profile

101 is a live album and documentary by Depeche Mode released in 1989 chronicling the band's 1988 Music for the Masses U.S. tour, and the final show at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Group member Alan Wilder was credited with coming up with the name, as the performance was the 101st, and final performance of the tour (and coincidentally also a famous highway in the area).

101 is mainly considered a documentary/film, however a CD is also available containing all live tracks. The film is considered to be pioneering due to the fact that it contained one of the first examples of reality television. The film covers several Depeche Mode fans, mainly Christopher Hardwick, Oliver Chesler (a.k.a. The Horrorist), and Jay Serken, and their respective girlfriends, that were picked out of a crowd at a Long Island night club, allowing them to tour with Depeche Mode through the last leg of their '88 North American tour. The film was directed and produced by D.A. Pennebaker. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

The film begins by showing a clip of Depeche Mode entering an empty Rose Bowl stadium in an old American car. This is where they announce their concert at the Rose Bowl during a live press conference there. The majority of the film revolves around the experiences of the fans traveling with Depeche Mode (in a separate bus and in separate hotel rooms). There are a couple instances of band members fraternizing with the fans. Still most of the film shows both in separate situations. There is some footage of the band before various shows getting ready in the dressing room backstage. The dialogue is interesting in that it shows how the four members of the group interact.

The last part shows a live recording of Depeche Mode's sellout show at the Rose Bowl, where nearly 80,000 people were in attendance. The film of the concert is not complete however, as it does not present the entire concert from beginning to end, rather it contains twelve of their greatest hits at the time pieced together by Pennebaker (it is important to note that the band had absolutely no say in the directorial process, hence none of the scenes are scripted) and is missing some of the tracks performed that night.

Two points worth mentioning are in the performance of "Stripped" where Dave Gahan's intensity is unbridled as well as "Never Let Me Down Again", the band's closing track (not including encores), where the crowd's energy and enthusiasm is highly cathartic. Stripped is Depeche Modes fifteenth UK single, released on February 10, 1986. ... David Gahan (born May 9, 1962 in Epping, England) is the lead singer for Depeche Mode. ... Never Let Me Down Again is Depeche Modes nineteenth UK single, released on August 24, 1987, and the second single for the then upcoming album Music for the Masses. ...

In 2003, the film was released on a two-disc DVD with the main film on the first disc. The second disc had interviews with the three winners and their experiences with the band. There were also interviews with Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, and Andrew Fletcher, all three separately by Pennebaker and Hegedus, talking about their solo projects which they were working on at the time. (Gahan - Paper Monsters, Gore - Counterfeit², Fletch - Client) At the time, the commentary on the film was recorded at separate times, later to be cleverly edited together, to make it sound like all three were there, at the same time. Alan Wilder, who left the band almost seven years after 101 in 1995, chose not to be interviewed. Finally, there was an interview with Daniel Miller and on the state of Depeche Mode, and even includes comments on Vince Clarke and the old Depeche Mode days, and Jonathan Kessler.

In addition to the interviews, there were also isolated video footage of the concert, including new footage, although footage of a couple of songs were not able to be recovered.

Reissue

In 2003, Mute Records reissued 101 as a hybrid SACD. In essence, the 2 disc set contained 101 in three formats - multi-channel SACD, stereo SACD and PCM stereo (CD audio). The multi-channel audio was presented in 5.1 and gave a better representation of the live experience. The SACD was not released in North America. Super Audio CD (SACD) is a new audio recording format aimed at providing higher fidelity audio reproduction than the compact disc. ...

Due to pressing errors, however, the first run of the set was marred by a mis-encoded multi-channel SACD layer that skipped and was unlistenable on the first disc. The stereo SACD and CD audio layers were unaffected.

As a bonus hidden track, the multi-channel layer also included the full version of "Pimpf".
