Anton Corbijn
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Berlin holds sacred weight for the band—this performance sits in the same city where Bowie recorded his Berlin Trilogy, and Corbijn deliberately channels that haunted, divided-city mythology.
Gahan was 51 during these shows, two years post-tumor scare, and the physical recklessness of his performance—especially the stair-climbing, rail-hanging 'I Feel You'—was deliberate defiance of his own mortality.
