This tour was particularly notable for the personal troubles the band members were struggling with at the time, most notably Dave Gahan's heroin addiction. The video is the last release to feature Alan Wilder before his departure in 1995.[2]
In 2004, the film was re-released on DVD, featuring extras, such as songs that were left out of the VHS movie for time (but they have to be viewed separately), isolated footage of set list projections, an interview with Corbijn on Devotional (1993), pictures from the Devotional Tour programme, and all the music videos from the Songs of Faith and Devotion era. For the first time, the complete soundtrack of Liévin is available ("Halo" was the only missing song before the release of the 2DVD set). Only a few moments of dead air and speech were edited out.
