Which Song?
I don't want to write original material here, yet the following statement seems to be unsourced: "Two points worth mentioning are in the performance of 'Stripped' where Dave Gahan's intensity is unbridled as well as 'Never Let Me Down Again', the band's closing track (not including encores), where the crowd's energy and enthusiasm is highly cathartic." I was in attendance at the concert the entire day, having only missed the first few songs by Wire (I watched all of Thomas Dolby and OMD). I was seated in the second row of Section AAA on the floor of the Rose Bowl. It seems to me that the the crowd's energy and enthusiasm was highly cathartic during Everything Counts, if I recall correctly (it's only been 20 years). Any thoughts? --Asacan 00:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC) I honestly don't think either of those points are worth mentioning given their PoV nature --83.70.163.193 (talk) 21:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Attendance / "Pioneering"
I just watched the film, and in the scene where the band's managers are calculating ticket sales, I could've sworn they disgruntledly mention the official sales as being 60,000 (plus a few hundred or so), after mentioning that they had expected about 65,000 to show up. The back of the VHS sleeve itself says "nearly seventy thousand." AllMusic Guide says "attendance around 80,000." And then we have Wikipedia's article, which boasts that "over 80,000 people were in attendance." This seems like a classic example of a fish story to me... Can anyone confirm the real attendance before the # spirals even further skyward?

Also, there are problems with the unsourced statement, "The film is considered to be pioneering due to the fact that it contained one of the first examples of reality television." This film doesn't have anything to do with television, because as far as I know it was not shot for television, nor was it aired as a television series. The structure of the film is somewhat interesting, but I don't see how it is "pioneering," when countless behind-the-scenes music documentaries of this ilk were released pre-1988.

 * 60,000 and some change as described by band manager (although I don't think he had this official capacity at the time) Kessler. This is "paid attendance" which does not include giveaways, industry perks, etc.  I highly doubt that 10,000 tickets were used for this purpose, but I could be wrong. By contrast, U2 essentially did sell out the venue at 97,000 and some change. 80,000+ for DM gets reported but that sounds like major inflation. All things being equal, I would be more comfortable with saying "nearly 70,000" because that takes into account Kessler's report and allows for a healthy, and rather generous extra group on non-paying attendees. Still pretty amazing considering they WERE'NT U2 at the time! Jackbox1971 (talk) 02:43, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The number given by Kessler is 60,453 and it was the turnstile count, which is total attendance including paid and comped. --Bix (talk) 14:30, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

101
101 is also the room in Orwell's '1984' where the dissident was tortured. The chapter of room 101 is the most important part of the book. The secret of evil is here revealed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.154.191.240 (talk) 08:53, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Celebrities at premiere
I remember hearing there were celebrities in attendance at the 101 premiere (in Los Angeles?). Can't find that info online anymore. 2601:201:C101:6FC0:A170:ED5:15FA:BC83 (talk) 06:31, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
