Recording the Angel was a project by the band Depeche Mode to record the concerts on the final two legs of their 2005/06 concert tour, Touring the Angel. The recording was done by London-based company Live Here Now.
Of the 46 shows that took place, 43 were recorded and made available on the band's website for direct download or on double CD via mail order. All the issued CDs featured the same artwork (cover and booklet), differing only in the setlist, which was printed on an extra white card, and the venue and show date printed on the front and back covers and on the discs themselves.
Famous quotes containing the words recording the, recording and/or angel:
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
—Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)
“Write while the heat is in you.... The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron which has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But virtue, as it never will be moved,
Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
So lust, though to a radiant angel linked,
Will sate itself in a celestial bed
And prey on garbage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
