Depeche Mode - Leave In Silence [Live In Hamburg (1984)] 

It's really off this time, now that solo is an inspiration for electro disco music, it's pure gold

@@Taremioca69 Yeh. Wonder if we'll ever see any of Alan's work again. He seems retired at the moment. Very sad 😞

The band are not quite the same without Alan Wilder I must say better day's

Alan dindnt play on a broken frame, or so they say.... Who played that? Martin no fletch no way. But again.... Dave said "we payed alan like 5o pounds for two years"... Dave doesnt remember a thing

@@delerium101 I saw the documentary on the making of A Broken Frame and I was shocked to hear Dave say that because it's rubbish. Alan was paid 100 £ a week for 10 months, then he became a proper band member in October of '82. The question remains, who played the keyboard solo on Leave in Silence as Alan was not involved in the recording of A Broken Frame?

I prefer this version to the original now for the reasons you said. Plus I LOVE Alan singing "leave in silence........." 😁

Oh good so it’s not just me

Same with me...sounds like he is really got enough ...

No body dance like Dave Gahan❤❤❤

Alan, too. They harmonized very well.

Martin is a poet

@@JamwithJamal so agree, broken frame is sublime, like they tapped into this higher state, magic

@@peteg3596 I know right? Every track is a banger

Spot on 👍

Nobody composes like Alan

Agree

Of course, this song was touched by the hands of the God of sounds🎹🪄👑

talent? you talk about Alan like he's a freak in a "got talent" show

Vince clarke said that I don t wanna play anymore

Alan once said that he was not a drummer, but 10 years later? 😉

I listen to the lyrics now and i feel like they are so applicable to how Alan Wilder felt about the Mode during the SOFAD era🥹

Alan - the Got of sounds 🎹🪄👑💜

I was 5 and dance for🌹 DM🌹till now 🖤🖤🖤🖤

ABSOLUTELY ❤ ‘84 F💚REVER!!!! 😻❤️😇👍💚

I consider him the king of pop just like Madonna is known as the queen of pop herself. 🌟

Not to mention that real memories are being replaced with digital storage, our way of thinking is changing for worse because of modern way of leaving where we relay on google etc. instead of our own knowledge (even for simple stuff). That's why all you can see today are smartphones filming and hardly anyone let go and feel that special vibe at concert. Nobody creates memories that will last and enrich them. It's just a low quality video on their phone that they'll hardly ever play until it gets deleted by accident. 80's are the best, it was a perfect balance of everything. It was normal to be emotional and have empathy instead of getting offended all the time like spoiled brats that we are today. That's why when people talk about modern music I look at them, I get up and LEAVE IN SILENCE. p.s. even tho I have masters degree in IT, I think that technology is ruining our lives more than it benefits it. It's good (medicine), but not at current extent. We are past best years of humanity and we'll destroy ourselves instead of living in dystopia/utopia in the future.

there is aword for it: Nostalgia....and yes, you finally get the idea that you too are getting old and are on the path to death. As for Lovac...today's fast technology does kill something in our human interaction, but it doesn't destroy humanity. For that, you must squarely put the finger on radical islamism.

L0vac.....very well said...I agree...

Его аранжировки бесподобны

Да, они опережали время. Из 80-х они звучат и сегодня актуально, даже инструменталкой. Многие комзиции Ricoil - гипнопрактики.

It saddens me when kids who listened to DM since Ultra say "Alan was just a musician". This outro is so cool that most musicians wouldn't think of it for hours in studio.

Me tienen las pelotas llenas con el desertor de A .Wilder

I agree from 3:42 this live version is amazing...Wilder such a talent, the lyrics from Gore brilliant and Dave performing it to perfection... Great to hear the appreciative Hamburg crowd at the end...wish I was there...and the Rose Bowl....my first was Violator in Birmingham...

@@L0vac who even says that? If you cant acknowledge the superiority of Alan Wilder you are not a true fan. He was the best and the soul of the band in my opinion

@@Calendula-my5ll I agree, but many young fans that listen to mostly newer DM think he wasn't that important and it's just not fair. Heard it during Spirit tour and was surprised

Ou... ye...e...es.😊 And voice...😍 My love and respect for him from the first shot of the perfect finger placement on the keys...🫶🎹

Its not that hard. You can do it! Try! This solo is the reason why i bought the Jupiter-8

@@iSirTaki hey there! Yeah, I figured the solo myself. I made a version of it on my channel ;)

@@iSirTaki really?! Wow! Did you buy this famous analogue monster synth?! Congratulations!!!

;-) for me after 32 years always one of the best live Songs!

SO TRUE! ❤😇👍💚

Finally someone who agrees on the same golden era of Depeche Mode as me 😂

Totally agree!!!

The golden era...yeh I agree but I would have to extend to 1993 to include SOFAD....after that no thanks. I've tried to get into their stuff from Ultra onwards but can't ...much as I love all there albums up until SOFAD I always come back to 101 and play iconic tracks like NLMDA, Behind the Wheel , Strangelove and the hugely underrated Nothing...and then there's Sacred, Stripped...

Agree

I agree, and it's always good to see others who are of a similar opinion. What I find weird is that DM's popularity seems to have exploded _after_ what we see as the golden era. I was too young to be aware of them in the 80s, but they seemed underrated and overlooked precisely when they were putting out their best albums and, IMO, were at their best as a live band. (I admit I'm biased in favour of the electronic stuff and the lineup with Alan.) Yet they seem to have really taken off around the time of 'Ultra' - and become massive in the 21st century. All I can think is that becoming more like a 'conventional' rock band helped broaden their appeal and kept them relevant. Still, it's depressing that every tour from the 21st century is available in high quality yet the classic stuff is mostly incomplete or only available as rough-quality bootlegs.

it's funny how this band was made fun of in their hometown and in the US of being weird and not mainstream when they started... HAH! look at them in the late 80s until now still drawing the biggest crowd on record. They just took off when Wilder officially joined the band... too bad he couldn't have stayed.

Хорошо смеётся тот,кто смеётся последним. 😊

I've the same view!

Today is the 1st time I've ever heard this song. Amazing-- especially this LIVE version!

My thought during this video exactly: "omg, Alan!" 😄

Pero ahora ya son recuerdos imborrables 🥀🥀🥀 y están demasiado pegajosas no te las puedes quitar de la cabeza , imposible✌️

I‘ve actually been there! Both concerts in Hamburg in December 1984. The second one was even better!
