June 25, 1981, Depeche Mode made their television debut performing "New Life" on the BBC's iconic music show, Top of the Pops.

Unlike established rock stars who arrived in limousines, the band members—averaging just 19 to 21 years old—literally took the public commuter train from their hometown of Basildon to the BBC studios in London. They walked onto the train carrying their heavy, unboxed synthesizers by hand. Vince Clarke famously chose to bring his smaller Kawai 100f synthesizer rather than his heavier Jupiter-4 simply because it was easier to carry on the train.
