Songs of Faith and Devotion Live is Depeche Mode's live album recorded during their worldwide Devotional tour, and was released December 6, 1993.
The album, which featured performances mainly recorded in Liévin with two other tracks recorded in Copenhagen and New Orleans, was a track by track live duplicate of the Songs of Faith and Devotion album, which was released earlier in 1993.
Even though live tracks were used for the "Condemnation" single ("Condemnation", "Personal Jesus", "Enjoy the Silence", and "Halo") and the Mute Tonal Evidence 6 tape ("Death's Door"), no song from Milan is available on the album.
This album was not successful commercially. It was one of very few such missteps in the band's long career. Reaching only #46 in the UK, it managed a #193 peak in the U.S., selling a mere 114,000 units there as of April 2006.
A near-complete concert of this tour was released on the Devotional video in 1993, and enjoyed more commercial success.
