Recording the Angel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Recording the Angel was the name of a scheme by the band Depeche Mode to record their concerts on the spring (North America) and summer (Europe and Asia) legs of their 2006 Touring the Angel tour. The recording was done by London-based company Live Here Now.
Of the 45 shows that actually took place, 43 were recorded (exceptions were performances in Kristiansand, Norway and Benicassim, Spain) and made available for direct download or per mail on double compact discs. All the issued CDs featured the same artwork (cover and booklet), differing only in the setlist, which was printed on an extra white card, and the venue and show date printed on the front and back covers and on the discs themselves.
