Vince Clarke is playing, Jesus :) the clip is (also) very old :)

[@rbrtck]

Yeah, Vince plays even less than Fletch does these days, so it's weird to see him do it now (pantomiming accurately in this case, but he did play live in concerts), but at least he writes, arranges, orchestrates, programs, produces, and does everything else besides sing. What does Fletch do? :) They couldn't sequence entire shows back in the day, so they had to play them, and whatever they couldn't play had to go on a tape, which Vince never liked. In concert with Erasure starting a few years later, Vince has always used computers and sequencers to play "live", while he only played a few small parts, if any. He stopped playing altogether for the _Chorus_ tour, choosing instead to manage the synths himself and drive around in a "tank". He's always felt that playing recordings were cheating, which was why he had the tape machine visible on stage while he was with Depeche Mode (if they were going to cheat, they weren't going to hide the fact), but he actually considers sequencing live playing--the notes are not being played live by a human, but as far as he is concerned they are being played live by a computer (or similar devices). As long as it's not a recording, he's OK with it, and doesn't feel he needs to play himself, although he occasionally will (barely).

Lmao fletch gave it away on several occasions that this is in fact a pre-recording

[@rbrtck]

Yeah, the other guys (Vince and Martin) at least hit the right keys at the right times, but Fletch couldn't even pretend to play. Speaking more generally now, it was the norm back then for TV performances to all be pantomimed and lip-synced to the recordings--everyone did that because they were told to. When Depeche Mode performed in concerts, however, they did actually sing and play live (they started as a live-only band originally, with no recordings except for drums), except for Fletch, unless they gave him some super-simple parts. Here, he's just trying to look busy, and it's easy to tell that he can't really play.
