World Violation Tour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Violation Tour was a concert tour by Depeche Mode to promote their most successful album to date, Violator, and took place in the year of 1990.

The Tour started in Pensacola, Florida on Monday, May 28th 1990, and finished the tour with the 88th show in Birmingham, England on Tuesday, November 27th 1990.

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.

The setlist for the tour is considered one of the bands' finest. It features all songs from Violator, and features songs spanning back to 1983 with Everything Counts. The set also finishes with the B-Side to Behind The Wheel, the cover of Nat King Cole's famous "Route 66".

The only setlist changes happened during Martin´s set. He always sang 2 acoustic-songs ("I Want You Now" and "World Full Of Nothing" on most shows) and changed them when they played in one city for a second or third time.

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.
