Stage

The set for the World Violation Tour was very innovative for its time. Behind the set were two massive projection screens, of which video clips were playing during different songs. The most notable ones were Personal Jesus, and Waiting For the Night, showing images of Martin Gore floating upwards, whilst strapped to a pair of wings. Perhaps Martin's stage costume for Touring the Angel was inspired by this. All of the video clips were arranged and directed by Anton Corbijn.

Recordings and broadcasts

The World Violation tour was never released in any commercial way. There has never been an official recording, of either sound or video, and it would seem a VHS/DVD release shall never see the light of day. However, the tour was voted by the fans on the official web site as the most wanted live concert footage, and 90 second clips were posted of every song. Although the footage was shot in a raw, one take shot, and features only a few visual errors, fans rejoiced as they finally had something to view back on. There are also full-length videos of some of the songs played at Frankfurt availible on Youtube.
