Today marks the 30th anniversary of Depeche Mode’s iconic “Concert For The Masses, a day-long concert at the 100,000 seat Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

The show featured performances from Wire, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and Thomas Dolby and was filmed for the “101” live album and concert documentary (Ranked as one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s Top 40 concert documentaries EVER). If you haven’t watched it before we highly recommend it!

A cool $22.50 got you into this once in a lifetime show. And if you’re into concert mementos, check out the original ticket stub and pass from the show!
