In February 2006, Depeche Mode was in the midst of their “Touring the Angel” tour, supporting their eleventh studio album, "Playing the Angel," which had been released in October 2005. This period marked a significant revival for the band, showcasing their enduring appeal in the electronic music scene. The live recording, "Touring the Angel: Live in Milan," captures their performance at the Fila Forum and was released later in September 2006. The album highlights the band's successful return after a brief hiatus, and it features fan-favorite tracks such as "Precious" and "A Pain That I’m Used To." Notably, this era also saw the band experimenting with darker themes and more complex soundscapes, a testament to their artistic evolution. Their ability to draw massive crowds, even decades into their career, emphasizes their status as one of the pioneers of electronic music.
