Will NEVER forget seeing this for the first time. My friend who was with me had to pick my jaw up off the floor. It was such a huge statement for an electronic band to wheel out a drum kit half way through a show, but also the way that Alan plays is hypnotic. For someone who had never really played drums a whole lot, he did it so well

Mr Alan Wilder is Depeche Mode Wizard Genio Extraordinary Performance the King DM

[@thorerummelhoff4192]

Alan Wilder 🎹🥁🎤 💪

[@DxModel219]

He did all the work… even the other band members admitted it during the SOFAD interview

[@JChip57828]

Now you’re talking. I’ve been listening to this version for 30 years and it still sends shivers down my spine. Boyaaa

[@ninawildr4207]

Yes!!!❤

[@stormchaserkst4496]

Alans movement is so great.

[@balovett]

I love the air drumming you do at the start of this one. You've got so much friggin' energy, man. And you look amazing here. This highlights what a skilled musician Alan is with incredible rhythm. What is particularly impressive is the fact that he's playing to a click track. This is a completely unforgiving mode of playing drums because the moment you stray from the click, even a small amount, it becomes a noticeable trainwreck. I know this firsthand. The drummer in my industrial rock band wasn't particularly skilled at playing to a click and it often showed during our live performances. Btw, Dave was no doubt saying to the fan, "I love you too!"

[@SephPlays]

Out of all bands i think the drummers get overlooked the most along with the sound technicians and backup groups 90% of people could probably name the Guitarist of major groups, But i reckon only 20% could name the drummers. It's very sad in a way because of how talented some of these drummers are ya know!?

[@balovett]

@@SephPlays it's true. Drummers get little respect. They are thought of as the dumb ones in a band. Not part of the songwriting process. And sound technicians are virtually never even considered.

[@dusanhaliena3246]

Can you feel that POWER? Incredible!

[@steviedmrbk5179]

One of the very best ever performances of any song they ever did, the visuals and lighting were perfect. Absolutely blown away! If ever I want to show anyone "my band", I show them this performance lol. The intro was actually the outro of the album version of Get Right With Me from Songs of Faith and Devotion. Glad you enjoyed it!!🎸🥁🥹🤗

[@csabagodor9445]

[offtopic]in the blown away category I would candiate kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYvRc4Grptata8k when the crowd itself the band that so epic :) [/offtopic]

[@DonHaka]

When i read that the intro was the outro of Get Right With Me, i honestly did not believe you, because i knew for a fact that the same piece of music is what the I Feel You "Life's Too Short Mix" is completely built upon. So i checked it out, and you're completely right! So what has happened here is that the outro of the album version of "Get Right With Me" is a stripped down version of the groove in "I Feel You".

[@stopbunsen]

Believe it or not Seph but Alan had only just taught himself how to play drums just before this tour! He was incredible. So talented

[@SuperCartmanlp]

*I love how he interacts with the crowd* Oh boy, Seph you are in for a treat after the next 2

[@TalleyLewis]

Told you that you would be blown away with Alan on drums. He learned to play for the tour.

[@SephPlays]

Ok i didn't know this!!! So he didn't know anything about drums before hand?

[@TalleyLewis]

@@SephPlays he said he had messed around with them, but knew the songs needed live drums. He thought Violator was too slick and wanted a more organic sound, so he decided to learn to play drums so the songs would sound more natural.

[@SephPlays]

@@TalleyLewis fair play thats insane! Thank you Talley 😊

[@TalleyLewis]

@@SephPlays when you can, watch the documentaries about the mailing of each album. They are very insightful about how everything went down over the years.

[@SephPlays]

I definitely will 😍

[@AaronT04]

Fletch tends to be happy and is the jokester of the band. He prob looks unhappy because of the depression he was going through during that period, especially the loss of his sister

[@joeldionisio]

Alan recorded all the drums an bass guitar from this album.

[@Music-world-20986]

And piano too

[@thoughtfulprofessor4198]

This is them at their stadium performing greatest. This is how you use the visuals and music and performance to get 40,000 fans in the palm of your hands. For me this is their single greatest live performance of any song of theirs. Some performances after of individual songs got close but this single song’s performance is amazing. For me blows U2’s Zooropa your out of the water. Their current tour is amazing by the way. Saw them at Twickenham, 80,000 of us were in raptures.

[@StphLGuerrero]

This is SUCH a great song! This song has such energy. I LOVE it!!!

[@timdyer5903]

Depeche Mode songs of faith and devotion. They put so much into the tour. So much. That's why for me I love this album the most.

[@fpmip]

The intro of this song is from the "Throb Mix" of I Feel You. This is the best live version of this song imo. :)

[@SephPlays]

This is why i didn't recognise it straight away i think! Thank you for pointing this out ❤️

[@Momex67]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIPNp6utZ6-ZqZY and also - Swamp Mix

[@Garylpool1]

There is a post on KZbin that says the intro to the live version of 'I Feel You' on the Devotional tour is a reworking of the extended part they put on at the end of 'Get Right With Me'

[@Doinkman79]

This was the first (and only tour) Alan used a live drum kit. Such a Rocker......At this point in their history, this was probably the most "Rock n' Roll" they'd gotten! So Bluesy too ... Gotta love the Head-banging!! Cheers! - Joey

[@TalleyLewis]

On the second leg, The Exotic Tour, he merged live drums into most of the songs. Way better than Christian ever did.

[@nylavillasis3451]

Hi seph! You finally watch the powerful execution of Mr. Wilder on drums but the climax comes with IYR... just pay attention to Al's expressions while he's performing that song (then you'll understand my obsession) 🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ninawildr4207]

Lmao...he is just extremely focused...hes a perfectionist...but happens to be drop dead gorgeous

[@nylavillasis3451]

@@ninawildr4207 I know that, being extremely focused is just part of Al's great appeal. 😉🤩🔥

[@SephPlays]

Yes very focused. Infact i think he barely blinks 😂

[@nylavillasis3451]

@@SephPlays you can see him keeping the tempo.

[@TimothySmiths]

The static sound at beginning should have given it away as I feel you, You need to listen to it more :) Dave has his arms out mimicking the artwork on the single for one, but also Christ on the cross as well. Alan basically learned to play the drums for this album.There is an interesting video of when Alan was selling off a lot of his equipment years ago, where he was showing his drums, gloves and sticks from then.

[@stormchaserkst4496]

Seph did you know that Alan Wilder did his own thing besides and after Depeche Mode? He started a solo project named "Recoil" back in 1986. The first Album has two tracks named "1" ans "2" and both tracks are Alan messing around with Depeche Mode Samples for 33 minutes in total lol. In 1988 a second record named "Hydrology" got eleased, also instrumentals and In 1992 the first more serious Recoil recording named "Bloodline" got released. Bloodline was the first record with actual songs where Alan worked together with a few artists/singers. Its great. Maybe give it a shot.

[@SephPlays]

Once I've finished up the Devotional tour I'll start listening to some of his solo stuff "Copyright permitting" haha

[@stormchaserkst4496]

@@SephPlays Great! I recommend you to start with the Album "Bloodline". Its very good imo and was recorded in 91 and released in 92 during the recording of SOFAD. Its sooo good. Its Alan without restrictions haha. Its also more synth like Violator.

[@WaterBottleBlues10127]

Absolutely, IMO these songs are better than the album. The live version just gives these songs so much depth and feeling. Alan on drums is magical and nostalgic. Damn, I miss him.

[@TalleyLewis]

DM albums are just a preview for what you'll hear live.

[@lisajohnson1528]

Plus the song evolves from recorded to live version love Alan's drumming is there nothing he couldn't do with this band what a legend

[@ninawildr4207]

Sexiest drumming ever!!!!

[@jlcmsw]

Agreed 100%!!

[@j.m.221]

totally!

Devotional Tour was my first concert ever. I’m blessed.

[@depeche1972]

Best live performance ever😍

"Haven't you seen the video clip of it, so why are you so surprised with Alan?" :)

[@SephPlays]

I didnt know Alan could play the durms!?

[@stormchaserkst4496]

​@@SephPlayshe really started playing drums during the recording of SOFAD as far as i know. And then he wanted to play drums during the tour on certain songs... He practiced and practiced before the tour and yeah.. here we are :)

[@csabagodor9445]

​@@SephPlays then please make a reaction video comparing the clip to the concert version ;)

[@tweedtalk5107]

Imagine seeing Alan on drums live in person for the first time. Mind blowing! And frankly I like his drumming to their current tour drummer, Christian. To many frills and fills, not right for Mode's music. Also notice hard Alan plays. He said he was constantly breaking sticks.

[@thirdlantern]

If anyone's pressed for time, 1:49 is the money shot. Behold, ALAN WILDER!!

[@LiquidxAngel]

Hell yes.

[@joakintapia5570]

HELLO SEPH... I HAD ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT THE SURPRISES THAT ARE COMING... YES, THIS CONCERT HAS MORE SURPRISES YET AND I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS CONCERT, YOUR HEAD WILL CONTINUE EXPLODING...!!! 😱😱😵‍💫😲😆 ... LET ME TELL YOU THAT A FEW YEARS AGO ALAN AUCTIONED SEVERAL OF HIS BELONGINGS FROM WHEN HE WAS IN DEPECHE... HE AUCTIONED CD'S, FLYERS, POSTERS, T-SHIRTS, LP'S, AND AS THE CHERRY ON THE PIE, HE AUCTIONED THE BATTERY THAT I USE DURING THIS TOUR..😯😱🥁 AND IF YOU LIKE THERE IS A VIDEO ON KZbin WHERE ALAN SHOWS HIS HOUSE AND THE THINGS HE WOULD AUCTION..SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO .

[@ninawildr4207]

Yes its kinda heartbreaking to see his videos

[@westernsect5773]

Whit ye mean.. We've been tellin ye fur a year about Alan's drum playing... Anyway he was that bloody good when he left they replaced him with two people not one but 2

[@raymondengstrom1078]

Talking about Dave's interaction with the audience......just wait until later on in this show.....

[@mariabaverstock1765]

Yes, can' t wait for Sephs reaction!

[@SRMoore1178]

Martin could have turned up the overdrive for his last guitar bit at the end. On the album, it's one of the best one/two note guitar solos ever (IMO). Also, I wonder why Dave never sings the chorus part "This is the morning..." live?

[@a.koepke3523]

This is the best Alan Wilder Sound.👍

[@leeknott2171]

This is the song that made me take Depeche Mode seriously (obviously I was wrong for not taking them seriously before) love Dave’s look back then, just wish I got into SOFAD back in 93 and not just a few years ago, maybe I would of seen them on this tour if I had.

[@jlcmsw]

I think it was after Judas or Mercy In You that someone commented “Get ready because it’s going to ramp up from here.” Did it ramp enough for you my friend? Seeing this live I thought for a second “Am I seeing Depeche Mode or a rock band?”

[@stopbunsen]

That was me lol. It's great seeing someone see this for the first time. It was such a moment in music when they brought out that drum kit! Such a statement

[@da66en]

This took an A tier song and made it S tier

[@CorleoneDiscoStar]

Told you... This is surprise ater surprise, and all over... Wanted to see your face on this one 🤣

[@elfes.schmitt2284]

I was 18 when the song came out and already a die hard DM fan for years. And I remeber very, very well how I felt seeing the official video for the first time. Dave with his long hair behaving like a new god in a black and white s*xy video. The guitars so present, the lyrics so powerful. And his voice!!! Blown away. Saw them last month in Germany. Must have been concert no. 30 for me... You should watch the video, Seph. 😊

[@marisdanne]

I feel you, I feel your love in me sun ...J K )...

[@BigALquitti]

I mean, this was the only tour in 1993 where Dave had such an intense contact with the audience. About the performance: Hopefully everyone here in the channel can confirm with a comparison with the current tour that I FEEL YOU is nothing more. Details why do I omit. Seth: Compare yourself. That would be something. One great song, with all mixed an live versions in comparison...

[@zerudadensetsu4392]

Amazing 🤪

[@SephPlays]

Shocking too 😂

[@Garylpool1]

Dave in his rock 'n' roll life phase with his long hair, tight clothes, bell bottom trousers, thin as a rake complete with hard drug taking and throwing the mic stand at every opportunity. Sadly it saw off Alan Wilder

[@deanphillips6866]

its the jesus dave pose :)

[@easytigeruk123456789]

During the hard times of change that came with this album. Dave wanted to use real drums, they did not want anyone else coming into the band so Alan said "I`ll fucking do it". he leart drums to do a good job. I prefer the album version as it`s so highly produced with so much detail.

[@annick7194]

Wasn’t it this song you didn’t like that much on SOFAD? What about now?

[@ninawildr4207]

😄

[@danvideo2948]

I never liked the live version of I feel you too much, still a great song.

[@macewbee]

Alan was in this band he left after the tour he felt to my knowledge he did not get his props. Also when Andy left due to depression during the tour then the taught the other staff,, Andy's part of the synth and bass he wanted more money from the tour, David and Martin were on drugs mostly David I think. There bio explain it better that is why ultra he's not there and andy ( the manager ) felt like they did not need him and did not want to work with him it was him or Alan.

[@Simon-fl1tl]

Why am I disliking this song so much? 😭 I'd love liking it since Depeche Mode is torturing us with this song on every single tour (also on the current one). Alan did great on the drums though.

[@GaryKirkham-ju8gw]

With all of the religious connotations to DM's songs, I wonder if Dave's outstretched arms signify him as Jesus on the Cross ? Just an idea ...

[@SephPlays]

Ahhhh ok i thought it might have been something to do with a music video i haven't watched yet?
