Depeche Mode: The Singles Tour (Live MTV Köln Arena)

The Devotional Tour was a 1993–94 concert tour by the English electronic band Depeche Mode in support of the group's eighth studio album, Songs of Faith and Devotion, which was released in March 1993. Consisting of two legs, the 1993 Devotional and 1994 Exotic Tour/Summer Tour '94, it was the last Depeche Mode tour to include member Alan Wilder, who quit the band in 1995 due to the poor relationship between band members and experience while recording the album. The Devotional Tour leg kicked off in Lille, France, in mid-May 1993 and crossed Europe and North America. In 1994, the Exotic and Summer '94 legs visited territories which the band had never performed in or had not toured in for some time, reaching Africa, Asia, Australia, and South America, as well as returning to North America. Different performances from the 1993 leg of the tour were released on the live album Songs of Faith and Devotion Live (1993) and live video Devotional (1993). The tour was named by Q magazine "the most debauched rock tour ever" due to its excesses of sex and drugs. Singer Dave Gahan was struggling with a heroin addiction while on tour, leading to a drug-induced heart attack midway through the first leg. Singer and songwriter Martin Gore suffered two drinking-related seizures on the tour, and both Gahan and Gore were arrested once each for different infractions during the tour. The tour was estimated to have played to two million fans over the course of its two-leg run.
