Depeche Mode Behind The Scenes On Tour Germany 1987

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

I'm a simple man. I see Depeche Mode footage when Alan Wilder was still in the band, i just can't stop smiling. :)

[@wattage2007]

I could watch Alan Wilder being driven to gigs all day.

[@mikehartwich1946]

Mr. Coolness in person!

[@junebaby166]

I could watch Alan Wilder all day doing whatever full stop.

[@MiotaLee]

I love the way Andy deals the cards

[@sonofhibbs4425]

I would love to know about all their experiences and travels. For example, what are some events, places, people that were memorable for them-the good and the bad. They’ve had so many experiences in life more than the average person. I’d be excited to read their memoirs. I hate that I’m so interested, because it’s nosey, but I find them so fascinating.

[@vanillacaffelatte]

Same, man, same!

[@lowandodor1150]

It is called being a fan, a die hard fan perhaps. It is perfectly fine i think. Where it gets worrying is when their actual lives are being invaded. But just wanting to know basically anything about a musician who's deeply touched your heart and soul, again, i cannot find anything wrong with that.

[@lowandodor1150]

And DM were everything to me, when i was 14 to about 17. They were my first big concert i went to see on my own in 1988 here in Vienna. I now live only a few minutes from that venue so all those years later, but still, that memory is quite vivid. We dressed in a similar fashion, i met my first group of friends at a party back then all kind of dressed alike, wanting to put on a DM record, haha! I had 27 records, would go to record shops in Vienna, Munich, Frankfurt and London, just to find that one special remix.... then when i was away for a year at 18, my mother gave my entire record collection away to some goodwill thing....sad but true, i never forgave her for that. I would LOVELOVELOVE to have that collection of all that brilliant music from the 80s and early 90s in front of me, that would be so amazing 'cause i don't even remember all the records i had and i'd probably find so many little details, i did not pick up on as a 15 year old kid. God, i worshipped them pretty much, their videos, their style besides their music. Always loved their really dark pieces like Pimpf for example, 101 i watched until the video tape was worn out, hehe.... sorry, got a little carried away there....but you see, it's so many of us, being deeply in love with DM.

[@EtsiJuuret]

It is fanatism 😂😂😂

[@vincentdelmot8310]

I suppose I could watch footages like this all day long...

[@WillyBilliams]

Fly on the wall

[@saba2205]

This was my first concert ever! I was 14 and barely survived the run into the venue when they opened the doors! It was so worth it! Am touched to see two of my friends in the video! Thank you for this!

[@WillyBilliams]

You're welcome

[@alicesings1971]

I love seeing Fletch and Martin playing cards. I’ve see Martin in other videos hanging out with Andy. RIP Andy ❤️

[@audiolego]

My friend Paul who was a limo driver drove both Martin and Fletch to a wedding in Santa Monica in 2002

[@alicesings1971]

@@audiolego Your friend is lucky to have that kind of contact . Thx

[@t3po646]

That footage at the beginning is from the arrival to the concert in essen on november, 4th 1987 which totally blew me away. Definitely one of the best dm concerts i‘ve been to.

[@vanillacaffelatte]

Exactly 49 days before I was born, eh

[@sleepysatellite1326]

I saw them for the first time in 1986 I was 14 and I nearly died as I was crushed against the barricade in front of the stage but it was so worth it 😂🎉🎶🖤

Jansson 242 thanks :)

[@jansson2424]

My pleasure, little treasure! Many greetings from C-Town (Germany)! :)

[@condemned1982]

Those security guards and dogs were NOT messing around! Scary. Interesting to see the bus ride going just as we always heard (Alan/Dave, Fletch/Martin). Funny that as soon as they get the DM boys on-stage, the crew finally get to relax and enjoy catering.

[@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet]

in Stockholm in 1988, they talked about the football games after every soundcheck. Dave and Alan against Martin and Nitzer Ebb. salad! they ate tuna salad as breakfast at 3 pm before flying to Gothenburg. thank you

[@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet]

my mistake, Front 242 opened in 87, Nitzer Ebb in 88:)

[@EtsiJuuret]

Tell more details please, about NE with them there?

[@CarstenDrees]

Ah, I have been there. What a legendary night :)

[@1980sMusic]

🖤 RIP Andy! Saddest news ever! 🙏🙏🙏 (8 July 1961 - 26 May 2022) 😢😢😢

[@johokoli]

Back then they actually spend time together..... Playing cards, hanging out..... Nowadays every body stares at their cellphones like they are praying... 😔Sometimes I would love to go back to basic....... Lets kick out our cells...... And be humans again ✌️

[@AndreaAnd-gg4ye]

😉👌👍

[@sliezsky]

Super video, thank you.

[@sannij8638]

Oh wow 😍 - thank you so much for sharing this! I just came across this by accident and found my friends and myself in the crowd in front of the hall... We got backstage passes during the show and met the band afterwards - my personal DM life highlight ever 🙏 I do not know, who you are, but I would kindly like to ask: Do you know, if there is also a video from this after show meet & greet? I have photos, but as this was long before smartphones were invented, of course we have no moving pictures and that would be... no words ... so incredibly fantastic! Rest In Peace, Dear Andy 🖤

[@WillyBilliams]

Great you found yourself on the video. Unfortunately i haven`t seen any after show footage

[@pinkturnsblue80]

4:24 does anybody else also hear dave singing true faith by new order here?

[@clewismessina6630]

1987 Essen looks like worn out IKEA furniture- it’s so ugly that it’s cute. When I first started the video, I thought it was 1985, but then realized this was from Music for the Masses. It’s amazing how ‘80’s’ everything looks especially since the promo videos for the album look more late 90’s/early 00’s. I would love to have a Time Machine to go back and visit this place/see this show. Thank you for sharing the footage.

Agree 100%. I love that era of DM, so I'm grateful to see any video from those days. I just wish there was more - especially live concert footage.

[@wattage2007]

@@blueroses7935 I’ll bet Wilder is still sitting on quite a bit of unseen footage. Think most of the remastered album documentaries were made from footage from his camera although he seemed to stop doing it after Black Celebration.

he's so professional.

[@Doobie1975]

Is it just me or does "Pimpf" sound more lighthearted in this video than it does on the video/album recording?

[@klarisenkaa]

I know, they are normal people like us, but when I'm watching them all my life only on KZbin, see them real must be so unbelieveable feel. I can't wait for concert in Prague on 30th July!!

Yes,me too,I watch them only YT. 3 times they played in Argentina🇦🇷 ,but...I didn't see them...😣 Espero hayas disfrutado el concierto 😉.Saludos🖑

9:12 Isn't that Andy Franks?

[@Doobie1975]

Is it just me or does Dave seem to have a better relationship with Alan & Martin than he did with Fletch?

[@kyran333]

Recently dave said that him and fletch treated each other like dicks, they had an antagonistic relationship, fletch was Martins spokes person and defender in the band, I think dave found it sort of impenetrable

[@Modmonboy]

Martin andy he playing card

[@sitluxetluxfuit4481]

It's extremely telling how Dave took a seat on his own and didn't follow Fletcher to the rear of the bus to play cards and this was quite early on in DMs career. I'm sure it was Fletcher who helped Alan come to the conclusion that his days of compiling the sounds that Depeche mode depended on were no longer worth his efforts. Sighting a "unfair distribution of the band's work load" as one of the many reasons Alan eventually left to take on his solo music projects . It still makes me sad how Martin and Fletcher made Alan feel like he had no choice after the blood , sweat and tears plus years Alan devoted to Depeche modes success around the globe .

[@boohoo2948]

Why are they wearing sunglasses inside a vehicle?? This was a very enjoyable video.
