Notes

Fourteen out of nineteen songs were broadcast on BBC Radio 1, originally on 1993-08-30 (see BBC website here and here). There were two different broadcasts of the concert, with one including Walking In My Shoes.

You can watch a special video about this concert on the official site archives. You can read some concert reports here.

Allegedly, Dave said something like "We bought the full moon commissioned especially for you vampires tonight. Only joking, cost too much [laughs]" upon seeing the full moon; he also said "I'll need a little help with this one (Stripped). You should know the words by now", but then when nobody sang along he said "Oh, come on"; then during I Feel You he said "Just takes a while sometimes, you know!" Allegedly, Dave also said "At least its not fucking raining" after World In My Eyes as well as "Let's hear you make some fucking noise" at the beginning of Never Let Me Down Again. Dave also climbed on the front barrier.

Sunscreem, Dreadzone, Dub Syndicate, Marxmen and Sisters Of Mercy were the support acts. The Sisters Of Mercy famously said to DM "Enjoy the puppet show" after having performed as the support act on this night, because the crowd was not reacting (positively) to them. Find all info and material on the Sisters Of Mercy's performance on their fan Wiki.

Here is Daryl Bamonte's entry for the famous Devotional Tour Diary, published in Bong magazine in 1994:

Crystal Palace. Finally home after 3 months. 36,000+ people at this show, 1,000 with passes, and I know all of them, so backstage was chaos. My son had a good day. He definitely preferred DUB SYNDICATE to THE SISTERS OF MERCY. I used to think that ANDREW ELDRITCH was really cool. A god-like quasi-Darth Vader figure. He’s actually like RIGSBY.
