Tour details [ ]

The band rehearsed for the tour in Pensacola, Florida, the same city where the tour kicked off. It was the first time the band has performed live in the state, and the band received some flak from locals who didn't understand their appearance ("I've been called a faggot about twenty times today, mostly from guys leaning out of trucks. This is sort of a backward place, isn't it?" noted Alan Wilder).

The tour kicked off with a North American leg in late May, finishing up in early August in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium. The North American dates were met with high demand with sellouts in Dallas, Chicago, Orlando, Tampa and Miami; 42,000 tickets for the concert at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey had reportedly been sold within four hours of going on sale, while the Dodger Stadium shows had sold out on the first day of sale. Later in the month, the group played a sole date in Australia, in Sydney, prior to a six-date tour of Japan in September. Following the Japanese dates, the band commenced a European tour, beginning in Brussels in late September. The leg included three dates at the Palais Omnisports Bercy in Paris, where the group performed to approximately 50,000 people. The jaunt lasted two months and concluded with the final show of the tour in Birmingham, U.K, in late November.

The projections were made by Anton Corbijn, whose work was projected on large video screens. The tour required approximately 100 stage crew and 11 articulated lorries to transport the stage set.

The performance of the group's cover of "Route 66", which was originally recorded with lead vocals by Martin Gore, was sung live by lead singer Dave Gahan on this tour.

Industrial band Nitzer Ebb opened for the band in North America. Rolling Stone magazine called out the tour as one of the highlights of the 1990 summer music scene, saying "These British synth poppers offer post-industrial melancholy you can dance to. And their misery certainly loves company – on their last tour, they sold out the Rose Bowl."

Tour dates [ ]

Remaining contents of the tour [ ].

Even though the tour is one of the most popular among fans, Depeche Mode never released any official content from the World Violation Tour for commercial purposes.

For a fan question, then-member Alan Wilder stated that the reason behind that was the fact that there was too little time lapsed from Music for the Masses Tour to release a new live EP from the tour, as the previous one was filmed and was released on the famous 101.

The lack of commercial release doesn't mean that there is no professional recording from the tour. Two concerts of the American leg of the tour, one in San Francisco and one in LA, were recorded by the staff of the stadium. The second one was even released on a small series promotional CD in Latvia, with as many as 250 printed copies.

The band thought for more than a decade that there were only short scenes filmed from the tour by TV channels. But the previously mentioned LA tour has a whole length video recording as well, which still waits to be fully released, as the band only issued 90 seconds long parts of each song on their website in 2012. They recalled the discovery that way.

Depeche Mode – Live At Dodger Stadium – 1990 – Past Daily Backstage Weekend

Depeche Mode – Live At Dodger Stadium – Aug.4, 1990 + Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountainview, S.F. – july 21, 1990 – Gordon Skene Sound Collection –

Depeche Mode this weekend, from their World Violation Tour, supporting their seventh album release, Violator which came out on March 19,1990.

In a contemporary review for Melody Maker, music critic Paul Lester called Violator the group’s “most arresting work to date.” Tim Nicholson of Record Mirror was enthused by the stripped-down quality of the songs and called the album a “compromise between pop music and something a little more sinister. There are no noises out of place in this perfectly formed void”. Ian Cranna of Q magazine found the music subtly clever and called it “a fine record which may not set the world on fire but deserves to singe it a bit.” NME writer Helen Mead felt that the album “seems almost a step back, in that it’s cleaner, sparser, more clinical” than Music for the Masses, but concluded that “there is security in the knowledge that everything is very clear cut in Depeche Mode’s blue and white world.” In a less enthusiastic review, Robert Christgau said that Depeche Mode conceded to fickle teenage demographics on Violator. Rolling Stone magazine’s Chuck Eddy said that, despite its “ambient charm”, Gahan sounds “slimy and self-involved”, and in their attempt to make listeners dance, Depeche Mode “revert to morose pop psychology and then never tell you how come they’re so sad.” Entertainment Weekly’s Greg Sandow felt that the album’s varied music can “cast shadows, the significance of which can be hard to figure out”.

In 2003, Violator was ranked number 342 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time and number 57 on the magazine’s 100 Best Albums of the Nineties list. It has also featured on lists of the greatest albums of all time made by publications such as Q and Spin. In a retrospective review, The Austin Chronicle’s Christopher Gray cited Violator as Depeche Mode’s “career peak”, while The Guardian’s Dorian Lynskey called it the band’s best album, “encasing Martin Gore’s favourite tropes – guilt, salvation, obsession and the virtues of keeping your mouth shut – in production as black and shiny as a beetle’s shell.” Rolling Stone complimented its “heavier hooks, cinematic arrangements and sleek sonic detail”. Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine called the album “a quintessential benchmark of pop, rock and electronic music.” It is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

As a sign of their rising popularity when Violator was released, a signing party for fans at a Wherehouse record store in Los Angeles that was expected to draw only a few thousand fans ended up drawing around 17,000. The band were forced to withdraw from the event due to security concerns, and their early exit nearly caused a riot. Violator reached number 17 on the Billboard 200 year-end chart of 1990, and was the first Depeche Mode album to sell a million copies in the United States.

The success of Violator introduced the band to a wider audience, and this increased exposure led to their 1993 follow-up album Songs of Faith and Devotion debuting atop the charts in both the United States and United Kingdom. “Before this, we’d been going along quite nicely,” recalled Andy Fletcher. “Then when it came to Violator we inexplicably went huge. It was just incredible, and in many ways we never really recovered from that. After that, we just felt like we wanted to muck it up a bit.”

Here is their concert from Dodger Stadium, recorded by the band sound engineers on August 4, 1990 – also included in the last half (due to technical problems) is their performance from Shoreline Amphitheatre, in San Francisco on July 21, 1990.

Crank it up and enjoy.

Category : 1990 World Violation Tour

The World Violation Tour was an international tour undertaken by Depeche Mode in support of their seventh studio album Violator .

As of September 2023, no film footage or audio from the World Violation tour has been released in an official capacity. Alan Wilder states in a Q&A on the official Recoil project website that, with the release of 1989's 101 , the band felt it was too soon to produce a new live concert film.

Reportedly, one concert during Depeche Mode's three-night stint in Paris 1990 was recorded for a live album release, as several fans reported seeing mobile recording units outside the venue.

World Violation Tour - A fans tribute

First entry of the 'A fans tribute' series

Release date: August 11th, 2023

Project description

The "World Violation Tour - A fans tribute" brings you an exceptional lineup of passionate musicians, ready to deliver an extraordinary tribute to the band that has inspired generations: Depeche Mode.

Since we don't have a proper official release of this iconic tour, an enthusiast group of fans got together to recreate the whole concert in high quality audio, with concert crowd effects and even vocals in every song!

Immerse yourself in the pulsating rhythms, the soul-stirring lyrics, and the infectious energy that define Depeche Mode's unparalleled legacy.

Get ready for an amazing experience. Made by fans, for the fans. 🌹🎤🎸🎹

As a dedicated Depeche Mode fan (having spent half my life listening to their music), I have often pondered why the tour that supported what many consider to be the band's best album, Violator , still lacks an official recording or DVD release. Why on Earth is that? This question remains unanswered and as time goes by there is no indication that an official release of the World Violation Tour will ever materialize.

With that nagging question haunting me through the years, I realized that fans deserved something better than the soundboard recordings currently available. With my skills and connections, I decided to take a chance and bring my idea to life. I shared my plan with some friends and in August 2021, I began working on the project. After seven months of hard work, the World Violation Tour Remastered was born and released on March 20th, 2022.

During a live broadcast on YouTube, I shared the project with my community and the response was overwhelming. Despite some negative critics, which are to be expected, many fans were captivated and amazed by it. Some even believed that they were listening to a real Depeche Mode performance from some concert recording.

After those events and after releasing the Black Celebration Tour - A fans tribute project, I decided I could do better. I gathered my crew once again for advice and some help. We got to work together (a new member was added to the team) and voila! The magic happened again.

With a better mix and even new sounds, we achieved our goal. Our biggest project ever released got a new life under a new name: World Violation Tour - A fans tribute .

I want to thank all of the fans who supported this project from the beginning or gave it a chance. Your support made this project possible. If you're intrigued by it, consider getting a copy to support the creators.

This is the WORLD VIOLATION TOUR - A FANS TRIBUTE . Get ready to have an amazing experience, made by fans, for the fans.

You've read 'A fans tribute' more than once by now. So, it's time to know the people that made this possible! If you like this project, consider supporting the fans behind it by subscribing to their YouTube channels.

The World Violation Tour - A fans tribute captured the hearts of many fans. However, some may have wondered whether we had extracted the vocals from the soundboards available on the internet. But why settle for second best when we could do it the old-fashioned way? Instead, we opted to take a more authentic approach, enlisting the talents of an exceptional singer to record the vocals for the project.

Enter Claudio Blanco, one of the most gifted vocalists I have had the privilege of knowing. With remarkable skill and precision, he masterfully recreated the performances of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, breathing new life into their legendary stage performances. Furthermore, Claudio's contribution extended beyond just the vocal tracks, as he also played a crucial role in emulating the sound of the crowd singing in some of the songs, lending an added layer of authenticity to the project.

Raimundo Ladrón de Guevara

Guitar (Enjoy The Silence / Personal Jesus)

Raimundo, a dear and talented friend of mine, possesses an awe-inspiring gift for graphic design and music.

His musical prowess was on full display as he recorded the guitar tracks for the iconic songs Enjoy The Silence and Personal Jesus . He also provided invaluable insights for the production of the backing tracks, elevating the project to new heights of sonic excellence.

Teddy Ferguson

Guitar (I Want You Now / Here Is The House / World Full Of Nothing / Sweetest Perfection / Behind The Wheel / Route 66)

This talented musician and singer from Arkansas started posting comments on my YouTube channel. Later he started asking for my covers, so he could make renditions of his favorite DM songs for his YouTube channel.

And now he's not only a good friend of mine, but also a crucial part of this project. Teddy displayed his musical talent by recording the acoustic songs of the concert and Behind The Wheel / Route 66 guitar tracks.

Elias Velazquez

Synths | Programming | Backing tracks | Crowd effects | Visuals

It's my turn now. I go by Elias (or Kani for some close friends), but you might recognize me as RJ8. The journey of working on this project has brought me immense joy. I dedicated myself tirelessly each day to reach this point, and I owe a great deal of gratitude to my companions Claudio, Raimundo, and Teddy. Their help and insight was indispensable in making this project a reality.

My role revolved around crafting the backing tracks and the files that contained every soundbank that allowed me to play the songs on every live broadcast of the project on my YouTube channel. Additionally, I played a crucial role in replicating the crowd effects, capturing the authentic reactions akin to those of an actual concert audience.

You can listen to excerpts of every song that is included in the digital release of the project by clicking the "play" buttons.

00 - Kaleid

01 - world in my eyes, 03 - shake the disease, 04 - everything counts, 05 - master and servant, 06 - never let me down again, 07 - waiting for the night, 08 - i want you now, 09 - world full of nothing, 11 - stripped, 12 - policy of truth, 13 - enjoy the silence, 14 - strangelove, 15 - personal jesus, 16 - black celebration, 17 - a question of time, 18 - behind the wheel, 19 - route 66.

Some of the videos related to this project that were posted on my YouTube channel. Stay tuned as I'll post more in the future!

Backing tracks

¿What's the World Violation Tour project exactly?

The "World Violation Tour - A fans tribute" is a fan project that recreates the iconic World Violation shows performed by Depeche Mode that took place at the Dodgers Stadium, Los Angeles, on August 4th and 5th, 1990. The goal is that you feel you're listening to an official and high quality live recording of that night.

So, it's not Depeche Mode then.

No, you're not listening to any audience or soundboard recording. Everything was recreated from scratch. Original samples were used to recreate most of the synth lines, melodies and backing tracks.

¿Were the vocals extracted/isolated from a sounboard?

Believe it or not, the vocals you hear on every recording related to this project were recorded by Claudio Blanco, aka @perihelion54 on YouTube. No, it's not Dave.

¿How's this different from the WVT Remastered project you released on 2021?

The World Violation Tour Remastered was the original name of this project. Since it often led to confusion, I decided to rename the whole thing.

But that's not the only difference. The overall sound of the project was improved, dramatically in some songs. Everything sounds sharper, louder and more dynamic than ever!

¿Do I have to buy the digital release again if I bought the first version?

Short answer: no. For those who supported the original project by getting a copy of the digital release, you'll get the new version for free! Just send me a receipt of your Gumroad purchase to my email. That way I know you bought the WVT Remastered release and I'll happily send the new one for free!

Please have in mind that this doesn't apply if you just downloaded the first version when it had no cost.
