Depeche Mode has finalized the track list for its live CD/DVD "Touring the Angel," due Sept. 26 via Sire/Reprise. The project, which was taped Feb.18-19 in Milan and directed by Blue Leach, will be available as a two-DVD/single-CD set or as a single-DVD package.

"We realize this album is more tuned in to playing live, more so than 'Exciter' or 'Ultra,'" keyboardist Andrew Fletcher told Billboard.com earlier this year of the tour in support of "Playing the Angel," which came out last fall. "People who have seen us say the new songs don't sound misplaced in the set list."

Beyond new album tracks like "Precious," "Suffer Well" and "A Pain That I'm Used To," the first DVD also includes old classics like "Enjoy the Silence", "A Question of Lust" and "Just Can't Get Enough."

Depeche Mode in Concert – Copenhagen, 2006
A review by Marika L. Foltz

Depeche Mode revisited: A fan’s pilgrimage
What is it that drives us to do the most inexplicable, impetuous, and at times ridiculous-sounding things? How many 34-year-olds do you know who would pick up and fly 2,000 kilometers for a 3-day weekend to see a band perform? Maybe if they worked in the music industry or were musicians themselves, but I’m talking about your average teacher who just plain loves a band and can’t stand the thought of missing the opportunity to see them perform and having to wait another four years for such a thrill. I confess I am one of those rare individuals who, after 20 years of being a fan, is still going strong. I discovered Depeche Mode when I was just a freshman in high school, though I don’t remember who introduced me to them or exactly how their music first came into my hands. What I do know is that their music made such a strong impression on me that I have never since replaced them as my favorite band.
