Depeche Mode has guitar MALFUNCTION on stage and then kills it! "I Feel You" 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Boston, October 31, 2023 🧹👻🧹🧙‍♀️

[@otroscar]

Martin has always played live the main guitar riff along with a pre-recorded one to achieve a fuller sound on I Feel You, nothing wrong with doing that. Same logic as Christian playing live drums with other pre-recorded electronic percussion sounds. Here, Martin's guitar was in a different tunning, and they decided to change the guitar. The pre recorded guitar is the fifth string, ONE string only, playing A C A A A over and over, loud and simple and with special effects to help define the rhythm in a plain and constant way in a loop. Martin's live guitar is a rhythmic guitar riff playing multiple strings in A minor chord, specifically the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings only, with the 5th one playing A C A in a different way. Check out this video below where they did not use the pre-recorded guitar, but a synth riff instead, so it is easier to distinguish the live guitar that Martin plays to understand what he does live, a rhythmic riff with multiple strings. Remember, for the pre-recorded guitar used in other tours, including Devotional and Memento Mori, they used the pre-recorded ONE STRING guitar riff along with Martin's live guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJuUiX6krdeebsUsi=PnrZqMkITPMYI-kz I am a multi instrument musician, music producer with a pretty good ear, I think I will make a video explaining the difference between both the live and the pre-recorded I Feel You guitar riffs, if this doesn't clarify the confusion.

[@faithfulanddevoted]

In this case, Martin’s effects probably got stuck, and the harmonizer wasn’t turned on (different tuning)…. It’s a different tuning but on the A C AAA riff

These guys who are complaining about pre-recorded stuff are not aware what they are talking about. I mean, this is Depeche Mode. Pre-recorded elements are an essential and defining part of their music since the beginnings. In the studio as well as on stage.

[@ianmcg1252]

I am the guy in BLUE! What an awesome night. Once in a lifetime. Row four with my sisters. While watching this I couldn’t help but think back to 1988 and watching the Depeche Mode 101 documentary glued to the screen. Depeche Mode played our LA coliseum! Been dreaming of seeing them ever since. Now…we have. YOLO The most famous unknown band in the world

[@lilythebassetpuppy]

How did you NOT see them until now, if you watched 101 in 88? That's insane! How? I have never missed a concert in 2 states since I started going to concerts in 1990, at 15yo. My parents were strict about rock concerts. My first was DM and The Cure and I've never missed either of them. I'm 48 now and a grandma and my hubby and I will see Dave, Thursday in Denver. ❤ Will be number 18 for me since I like to attend multiple concerts in the same tour. ❤ I don't expect anyone to part-time groupie like me, but to miss so many great concerts? 😢 At least you went now. I hope you go to more. Will be my hubby's second DM concert because he started loving DM since we've been together. Last one was Denver 2016 or 2017... It was after Bowie passed away in Jan 2016, I know, because Dave did an absolutely GORGEOUS tribute to him. I cried. Big Bowie fans too. ❤ Anyway, glad you got to finally see them, but I would never have made it all these years without going at least once. Lol Dave is so much fun in concerts - I hope you go to more! ❤

Not sure why there's people commenting negatively to this. This is a huge compliment. When you get older it's harder to perform with this same type of energy and passion. People who are older are well capable of this but it gets rarer with age due to declining physical and mental health so it's great to see them so sharp and active in great health. Especially Dave is lucky his health is as good as it is because he practically died from his drug addictions in the 90s

@@CristiLuc I agree with you sooooo much. Back in the day, I was okay with Alan Wilder playing drums. He didn't ruin songs at all, and he only played drums for a very small number of songs. Christian plays drums for almost every song, and it drives me up the wall. That's one of the reasons why I don't wanna go to a concert.

And yeah, pre-recorded bits have always been a part of DM’s love rig all the way back to the very beginning.

[@newsmog2929]

Martin Gore acostumbra a cambiar de guitarras durante el show,esta calro ahora mas que no lo hace solo para mostrarlas ; sino que tambien lo hace para usar alguna afinacion diferente en algunos temas . Lo que no tenia claro es que en "I feel you" use una pista de guitarra base ,quizas para que ambas guitarras suenen mas llenas o mas potentes. Por otro lado es cierto que una banda como DEPECHE MODE tiene la tecnologia y recursos para sonar lo mas parecido a un disco pero igual Igual, es practicamnet imposible. Lo lamentable fue que aqui en Argentina durante su íltima visita ,las pantallas de video no les funcionaron desde el segundo tema; haciendo que el show perdiera mucho ,mas aun a los que estabamos lejos del escenario y aparentemente fue un fallo tecnico de la banda ya que al final del show las pantallas funcionaron mostrando el plano del estadio para la salida.

maybe we should listen to the Emax samples disk from Alan Wilder's library for I feel you live version. theres a guitar riff backing track for Martin already in 90's. no need to be too surprised for a classic electronic based group which started by a backing open reel machine.

[@sandorkis8813]

I Feel You is in a half note lower than a normal tuned guitar, thus Martin uses a half tone lower tuned guitar for this song. It seems, he got a normal tuned guitar before the song, so it is out of tune a half note. He plays live and real time, but the original sound can not be produced exactly, so that's why he is dubbing, for a thicker sound. We, the audience need the original exact sound, they gives us. That's all... :-)

[@ducciopratesi]

The "backing track" that you heard is a recording that is used in case of breakdown to replace the original part played by martin

[@cheshirecat5824]

​@@thirdlanternMy guess is that they have a double guitar track - Martin plays the main riff along with the pre-recorded one to achieve a fuller sound. By the sound of it, it seems to me that his tech has given him a downtuned guitar (the song is in standard tuning) - hence the dissonance in the intro riff. Then he switched guitars and everything was okay. But I'm just guessing.

@@cheshirecat5824 Sounds right!

[@cannyfocus]

0:12 - 0:15: Guitar playback (on backing tape).. ? The guitar keeps playing though Martin has no hand on it.. . I could understand that, if the guitar would sound different and more fat + pronounced. because of a playback plus the real guitar overlay at 2:18-2:30+ at the restart of the song, but it is not.. :-\.

[@madarab37]

@@adala1007 I never said having a guitar makes you a great musician. But I was raised on 70s music, like Eagles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Rush. All of these bands have great guitar solos in their songs. Fast forward to the late 80s and videos of DM come out, People are People etc. Martin Gore has a keyboard. Nobody in the band has a guitar. And Stevie Ray Vaughan is on the airwaves playing David Bowie songs. SRV was more of a real musician than the entire band of DM. When they came out with their electronic music it just sounded so weak and synthetic. Drum machines? No thank you. But when Strangelove came out and I heard them again, I changed my mind. They sounded less like a pre recorded sequence on a Casio and more like a real band, with real drums and a more orchestral sound. I admit I was prejudiced against the new sound of modern bands, but I think you should admit a prejudice against the older bands who had guitars and real drums. And people who could play them.
