This is a neat time in the career of Depeche Mode. 101 was a very important live performance release because it showed the real chops that the band had for a live set and sound. This little “maxi” single has a few live tracks on Side B, and while Everything Counts is a neat track to remix, the live version of Sacred really showcases their honed skill very, very well. It’s been over three decades since, but I bet they could still pull it off.
