Depeche Mode, Live 1982 @ Måndagsbörsen

Depeche Mode performing New Life, See You and Just Can't Get Enough, incl. interview and the weirdest intro ever.
Måndagsbörsen, Swedish television, 1982.

[@munchiesthesockmonkey]

I was at this weird buddhist convention in Hawaii at age 10 when I heard Depeche Mode for the first time in early 80's on a car radio cassette player. The car was jam packed with buddhists jamming to DM headed to Waikiki Beach. After returning home I begged Mom to goto mall, went to The Warehouse (a place that sold music) and got the cassette Construction Time Again. And that was the beginning of my torment by Metalheads beating me up for being a "mod." :-P

[@marinasikrets]

Construction Time Again my love album

[@eldartop1634]

Cool story 👍👍👍

[@theblueangel1973]

In ‘85-‘86, I had the biggest allowance, so it was my job to always have D batteries for me and my friends boom box! We would skateboard our fly ramp and listen to Depeche Mode’s Speak and Spell album, The Violent Femme’s first album Violent Femmes, The Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bollucks and Black Flag as well as The Cure. First the chicks in the neighborhood would hear the music and come watch us skate and finally dudes in the neighborhood would show up. A lot of them were into Judas Priest, Metallica etc. but they didn’t bother us cuz they couldn’t do what we were and we gathered all the girls. Man those days were great! It was like the sun would never go down! Such innocent fun. Adults would come out to tell us to turn the music down, only to end up watching us and see all the neighborhood kids just having innocent fun and not hurting anyone or property. Whatever happened to days like that?!?!

The Vince era, with no Vince. Not sure what would have happened if Gore had not had Alan to transform his works into the masterpieces we heard from 83-95. Not many bands lose one musical genius and stumble into another one.

[@eljuanhector]

Yeah!

[@jaimezuniga2776]

Alan is Alan,Vince is Yazoo.

[@nutsofthemutt]

That's nonsense. Martin was the genius. Alan was just a decent pianist. They could have found another one

[@nutsofthemutt]

If you listen to Martin's demos nearly everything in the final song is already there. Alan just helped give them a polish. Granted he did become more involved in their final sound with the later albums but all the melodies and component parts were still already written by Martin

[@Surmelina]

Yeah, they were really lucky with Alan joining them, too bad he seems to retire, Recoil is excellent)

[@falkhammermuller9342]

The interview at the end is the greatest I've ever seen ^^^ "Your new song New Life, what is it about." "We don't know, Vince wrote the song but he left the band."

Pretty obvious question. He should have replied "It's about my past", as a joke :) / Pregunta bastante obvia. Debió responder "Se trata de mi pasado", como una broma.

Vince left so Alan could join. Thus, the “new life”. 🎹

Vince didn't like performing in front of audiences. he was much more comfortable in the studio writing, cutting tracks and so on. he was the mind behind Yazoo when he " moved out" from Depeche mode and after that joined Eraser.

Absolutely. They were lucky to have him in the band cause he made that paradigm shift to what is known as DM's signature sound

[@maddogUK69]

Alan: I will play this clearly important melody and sing. Martin: I will play this clearly important melody and sing. Fletch: I will lay all ten of my fingers on the keyboard at the same time. I may be playing a note, I may not.

[@mickricereto8012]

Fletch was playing the bass line on JCGE-! A monophonic Moog Source … on other songs he was fingering chords 🙃🙋🏻‍♂️

[@SmartCookie2022]

To those not in the know, eg Americans, "See You" was incredibly important as it was the first single to be released without Vince Clarke and written by Martin Gore. Had it flopped, it might have spelled the end of Depeche Mode. Fortunately, it reached No. 6 in the UK charts. Again, this was follwed up by "The Meaning of Love" which reached No. 12 in the UK, then "Leave in Silence" at No. 18. The drop-off in chart success with the other 2 singles was most likely due to fans already having bought album which those songs were on. Though "12 remixes were very popular back then, which helped push the song up the charts.

[@itmanager1449]

See You is such genius! It's such a crazy amazingly good use of synths! It's like the textbook perfect use of synths song... I can't get over how much that song has stuck with me over the years and I can play it note by note in my head at any time... I think you're right. If they had not made that song their future could well have been very different! And I love this performance for many reasons, but also because you can see that while they have the songs mostly written and beautifully performed, that they later added and changed parts to what the recordings became. This is an important performance and any true DM fan ought to see it / hear it!

[@arclight2012]

I was a bit young to know about them at this time, but I got into their second album later in the 80s and I still can’t get over how these kids (essentially) were able to create a great second album without their primary songwriter from the first album. Just amazing.

@@hansjrgenfrederiksen4065 Well, he and Vince were the first members (as No Romance in China), and he helped Vince persuade Martin to join them (now as Composition of Sound) since Fletch and Martin had been best friends since they were small children, so I suppose you're right. Vince was the original mastermind, but without Fletch, Depeche Mode (which the band became when Vince got Dave to join, with Dave suggesting the new name) might well have never been. You might say that Fletch has remained in the band primarily because the others are eternally grateful, and Martin is a loyal friend. Otherwise, to be frank, there is really no reason for Fletch to be in any band.

I can’t imagine what people were going through at that time when they heard that Wilder left the ban.

Kraftwerk's influence is indisputable, fkn love DP.

[@MagDiSante]

Not so indisputable, IMHO ... Once i used to think exactly like You But as i'm getting older, i realize that at the end of 70s Kraftwerk, just like belgian band Telex, made electronic-avantgarde music which ALSO became pop-dance ... Synth-pop bands of 80s made the "reverse process" : they played "conventional" pop-dance music with synthesizers and drum machines and so that pop-dance music ALSO became electronic ... the difference is very big and i think that the first process (the one made BY KW, etc) has an higher level, from the artistic point of view ... Well, DM were somehow "borderline" indeed and in any case they were very good at the time (the first album with Vince Clarke is great, too). But in the 90s, (my favorite decade indeed, when the heritage of Kraftwerk was collected ) DM to become some kind of pseudo-rock-electro-blues band ... :-( ...

[@_officerK]

@@MagDiSante I totally agree with you, but in many DM tracks those characteristic sounds of Kraftwerk are felt, I am not saying that they sound the same and less harmonically, but the way to use those sounds.

[@MagDiSante]

@@_officerK Thank You for Your kind answer :-) ... DM fans are usually very aggressive and show no tolerance, ehehehe ... I think You're right, indeed; as i wrote, DM were really great at the time and they were not a simple "synthpop" band, they were something more and there was an "avant-garde" component in their music, too ... Even Vincent Clarke wanted to experiment with sounds, he didn't want to produce "simple pop" music ... I expected DM to "evolve" in 90s, following the electronica of that decade (which is my favorite, as i wrote) and keeping their trademark at the same time ... But as i told, they chose a different path and i stopped being their fan : when i listend to "i feel you" for the first time, i immediately thought : "oh oh, End of line, guys !!!" ... Meantime, i fell in love with Daft Punk, the Chemical Brothers, the Prodigy, Underworld, Orbital. the drum'n'bass style, all the "intelligent techno and house stuff", etc ... I have to say that Pet Shop Boys did much better in the end ... they "updated" their sound but they also maintained "consistent" with their origins !

[@_officerK]

@@MagDiSante I'm not that type of fan, I know how to recognize the good and the bad of each band, I agree with "I feel you", in the same way I don't think it's a "bad" track, but it's like they lost a bit of his grace, I love the bands you mentioned, I have a couple of vinyls of each one, the beauty of electronic music is that it is very wide, I listen to all kinds of subgenres, taking advantage of the occasion I recommend that you listen to Jon Hopkins, he is a very interesting artist.

I don’t know how I came across this gem of this vintage footage of DM. These early songs are by far the best ever! Thank you for sharing this. It’s truly a gem of a find! Those synths…❤️!!!

Yeah the algorithm decided I could have a little of this as a treat 😸

Analogue, makes it even more impressive even with a backing track.

They took the world by storm, i notice at their beginnings they were always question why this why that. And he always , answer “well, we just want people to enjoy our music and have fun no real deep meaning or meditation just enjoy”

[@fensterputzernuernberg]

You can see they got better and better and as synths progressed in sound so did they.. Dave´s dancing and energy really give the band a polish..... thank god Dave moved and grooved like he did that was an an essential ingredients imo

I love how at that moment in time, Dave had no idea of how erotic he would become .....its magic.

RIP Fletch :( Anyone lucky enough to have seen them at this show HAD to have thought ' Wow these guys are going to be SOooo BIG!' What a great performance! INCREDIBLE talent... Look how young they were!! Makes me feel sooo old.... But what great memories of hearing this WONDERFUL music for the first time. Those were good times!!!

Such old souls for young men. They for sure shaped my youth.
