Depeche Mode

In June 1988, Depeche Mode was at a significant point in their career, as they were in the midst of the "Music for the Masses" tour, promoting their album of the same name, which had been released in 1987. The live performance of "Everything Counts" at the Pasadena Rose Bowl was part of the final leg of this tour, showcasing the band's growing popularity in the United States. This concert was particularly notable as it contributed to the live album and documentary "101," released in 1989, which captures the band's evolution and their impact on the music scene. The event marked a turning point for Depeche Mode, solidifying their status as a prominent alternative rock band while also reflecting their move towards a more expansive, arena-sized sound that would characterize their future work.
