4.0 out of 5 stars Great live document of a band breaking America 26 Nov 2001
By "chrishyams"
Format:Audio CD
101 was released in 1989 and is an evocative reflection of band who had just traversed the music press image of being tinkly-bomp techno-popsters, and were now regarded as an important and influencial force in global pop/rock. This live outing documents the 101st concert of their 1988 Music For The Masses world tour.

Now you would think that a synth-heavy techno-pop band from deepest Essex would not really elicit much of an atmosphere in any given environment. However, with two recent critically-acclaimed albums behind them, the band riding on the crest of a creative wave and 70,000 screaming Californians inside the Rosebowl, the band were now true stadium-rock gods and the atmosphere generated was truly electric (and that's not just the synths and drum machines !). Wish I'd been there !

The concert starts with a brilliantly powerful rendition of Behind The Wheel which really gets the fans going, while the rest of the album is paced generously to allow for breakneck singles, ballads and a few album tracks, all of which blend excellently into a fuller picture. The overall image is that of a band making a significant breakthrough on the world stage and this success would later be eclipsed by incredible success of their classic Violator album (1990) and the gothic rock/pop of Songs of Faith & Devotion (1993), by which time they were briefly the biggest band on the planet after U2. The classic Everything Counts, a famous Mode concert closer, rounds off the album perfectly and sums up the powerful emotions of this vast concert, also thankfully documented on video.

101 really does evoke a true live experience for the listener, as the truly massive crowd are clearly going totally ape for David Gahan and Co., whose stage presence was gradually becoming God-like.

In short, this is a brillant 'live greatest hits' collection of the band's work between 1981-1987, an amazing six studio albums in as many years. Any self-respecting Mode fan will already have this in their collection, and so will anyone with a soul for live music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Depeche Mode become rock stars! 9 Jun 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This album dates from the time when Depeche Mode first decided they could be rock stars, and marks a definite turning point in their music. Playing at the Pasadena Rose Bowl to 70000 people, this album manages to catch the energy of that performance and 12 years later, it's hardly dated. How many other bands from the same era could pull this off ? And they're still going strong to this day !

5.0 out of 5 stars Depeche Mode 101 album 19 Feb 2004
By Rob Lamb
Format:Audio CD
Excellent live album. Having also purchased and watched the DVD of this concert, it becomes apparent just how nervous the boys were as they began the concert, and as they progress through the numbers the atmosphere they generate becomes 'electric' - this instills the guys with real confidence, at which point Gahan drags the film crew camera man onto stage, the lights come on, and the full stadium erupts with feverpitch fans waving. . . .truly awe-inspiring. . .
Gahan at one point squats down on stage, seemingly overwhelemd by the love and adoration from the audience, captured by the Pennebakker film crew for us all to see - brilliant !! Get the DVD - turn your surround sound way up - and relive the moment.
