Depeche Mode celebrate 'Concert for the Masses' anniversary

On June 18th 1988, Depeche Mode played a show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to celebrate the 101st show of their Music For The Masses tour. The band partnered with Los Angeles station KROQ (who was celebrating their own 10th anniversary) and staged Concert For The Masses - a day long festival which also featured Wire, Thomas Dolby, and OMD as openers. Depeche Mode rolled taped and eventually released their set as the double live CD 101, and 101 documentary. Today Depeche Mode commemorated the 25th anniversary of Concert For The Masses by sharing an 18 minute video with interviews, performances and more from that historic event. Check it out below:
