  On March 26, 1984, Depeche Mode performed "People Are People" during an appearance on the German TV show *Musik Convoy*. This performance came shortly after the release of their album *Some Great Reward*, which debuted in September 1984. The album marked a pivotal moment in their career, featuring a more aggressive sound and themes of political commentary, largely influenced by the state of the world at the time. "People Are People" became one of their most recognizable tracks, reaching high chart positions in multiple countries and reflecting the band's evolving approach to music that encouraged inclusivity and understanding. This live recording is particularly noteworthy due to its rarity, capturing the band in an intimate setting during a time when they were rapidly gaining popularity in the synth-pop scene. Depeche Mode was beginning to solidify their status as influential figures in the music industry, foreshadowing their eventual ascent to global superstardom.
