Depeche Mode - Photographic (Live Hamburg 1984)

Artist: Depeche Mode
Title: Photographic
Written by: Vince Clarke
Lyrics:
A white house, a white room
The program of today
Lights on, switch on
Your eyes are far away
The map represents you
And the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Till you recognize the choice
I take pictures
Photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room
I said I'd write a letter
But I never got the time
And looking to the day
I mesmerise the light
The years I spend just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second passed like an empty room
It seems it can't be true
I take pictures
Photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
Bright light, dark room

Some Great Reward Tour
Alsterdorfer Sporthalle, Hamburg - December 1984
Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Alan Wilder, Andy Fletcher

If a time machine was ever presented to me I swear to God I would go to those concerts in 1984! Those were the days!

this is their sickest song i think. masterpiece. creativity, being explorative, experimentive. such a perfectly composed song. and so rich of sounds and other noises... genius

This live version is amazing! Proud to have been a D.M. fan since hearing them perform at expo 86. I fell off a bit in the ultra days but came back with playing the angel.....one of the most amazing bands of all time!

[@noelniesen9330]

The Ice Machine I like a lot as well!

[@MyHeadExplodez]

@@Qtipword well, i was born 4 years after that , but thanks to dad , i caught up pretty quickly , but as a route, i have experienced probably the same. 79-88/90 and then PTA kicked me in the ass and came back as a fulltime fan 🌝

[@jansenwilder1335]

Wilder on the Emulator 2, Martin on the DX7 towards the end, brilliant.

[@blackcat4632]

Always puzzled me, Wilder or Gore on the lead synth from 3.11. Gore it was, tks. Brilliant band, best bar none (Linkin Park a very very close second). Was there London Hammersmith 1982 and many more. Finally recognised to the Rock N Roll hall of fame this year, but, so what, who are they to judge. DM ARE the best. End of.

[@remastered-00-pl]

@@blackcat4632 I love both DM and Linkin Park

[@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet]

emulator is more of a sampler than a synth so it's probably just a shell on another keyboard

[@RG615]

Love this song.... I just went to Vegas concert and I wished they would play this "diamond" from way back.... D.M. 2023 and still going strong. R.I.P. Fletcher...⚘️

They don’t? That’s what I‘m afraid about! I want to go to my first DM live concert this year and I desperately want this one to be on the setlist!

[@johnj28]

@@madametussnelda They haven't played this one in a really long time. Probably because Vince wrote it. The only one from Speak and Spell they do these days is Just Can't Get Enough. Still though, their live show is worth seeing. They put on an amazing show.

Alan he is my favourite member of Depeche mode

[@alfonsinobombardieri]

This song will always remain the most "dark dance" track of the 80s Depeche. For me their best time. At the time they were very undervalued, unfortunately.

[@mattbelinski7760]

They were actually selling millions of albums in Europe at the time. Maybe not as big in the UK or US, but just wait a few years.

[@rawdatasystems]

@@mattbelinski7760 So? They were undervalued, my friend. This song is the one which made me kinda fan of Depeche Mode, back in couple of decades ago. DP surely has matured, but gladly, the base is still there!

[@sarahsynthesizer6178]

Hätte ich eine Zeitmaschine hätte ich mich in 1984 versetzt und Depeche Mode erleben können, wo die Musiker noch jung waren. 1984 waren sie in etwa meinen jetzigen Alter. Wahnsinn, wie toll Depeche Mode schon damals waren. Ich bin im Jahre 2021 erst 23 Jahre alt, bin also noch jung. Ich hätte gerne die 80s erlebt. DM 4 Ever!

[@drecksheep]

Ich finde es sehr schön das junge Leute heute noch zu DM finden und vorallem zu den älteren Liedern.Ich war bei einigen Konzerten nach 1990 ,aber keins kommt an dieses 1984 in Hamburg ran.Der Sound der Synths, die Simme von Dave alles vom feinsten.Na gut es gab noch eins, Pasadena 1988 das war auch der Hammer.Ich wünsche dir das du noch viele solcher Perlen auf Youtbe findest ;-)

This song was written way before Alan Wilder came along. I agree he was amazing and a necessary piece while he was there, but Martin has done an amazing job on most of the post Alan albums (not all).

Woow this was amazing! Thanks for uploading! I saw them in Stockholm 1983 (Construction Time Again Tour). It was crazy. We got beaten up by heavy metal-fans who waited for us after the show. Hard to imagine today that this kind of music was so provocative back then. At least for some people. They called it 'a threat to REAL music'. Ha Ha.

[@jazzthief9096]

That's so ironic, considering the fact how many heavy metal heads (including some major artists) later confessed that Depeche's music was an influence on them 😅

[@seweryn2010]

Aranżacje z Hamburga to niewątpliwy dowód jaki skok jakościowy dawał Alan Wilder przychodząc do zespołu w 1982. Szybko stał się ważnym ogniwem i robił gigantyczną robotę obok Martina w procesie twórczym. Vince jest świetny, ale Alan to inna liga. Pewnie nie wróci do zespolu, bo są tu różne czynniki, ale myślę że fajnie byłoby gdyby kiedyś z chłopakami w trasę zabrał. Byłby to miły prezent zobaczyć go jeszcze raz z Davem i Martinem wraz z ew. pomysłami na aranżację.
