Glad to see Martin and Alan hugging each other and making amends, I know their relationship was on the rocks during the last few years of Alan's tenure with the band.
Martin is a very shy guy, and in this clip, he was probably with his own security guard, surrounded by people paying more attention to him than to Alan. But for those who thought he was gonna ignore Alan, consider this: he was at Alan's gig, so it's not like he didn't care about him anymore. He's not a very affectionate guy. I've noticed from his interactions with Dave on stage, and with the band in general, that he's more comfortable with handshakes and high-fives, and he doesn't like people making a fuss over him.
@JezabelGore I was very pleased to see them hug. Just the fact that Martin decided to dj after Alan's performance was a great accomplishment for their friendship.
True! Pay him heaps of money, make sure he is appreciated for his work. It would be amazing. The latest album sounds like a collection of demos. But honestly, I don't think it's ever going to happen.
Ultraviolator- Thanks so very very much for posting this! I just got a facebook notification of the posting. After meeting Alan in San Diego Saturday afternoon at the San Diego record store meet and greet he asked if I was coming to the Santa Ana show , I told him I already had tix for the San Diego and Santa Ana performances that's me in the video getting the photo taken with Alan and Martin. Truly Amazing! Thanks jen in san diego!
@@patee101 There was an interview with Dave, Andy, and Martin back during Ultra and Andy was the one who alluded to Alan's statement, saying that he thought that Alan was saying that they couldn't make it without him. Martin said in the same interview that Alan had been an important part of the band. If Martin has any hard feelings, I think it was because he left them (Martin) to deal with Ultra and Dave's death and all of that. Also, he wasn't there when Martin was having his troubles and he even talked to a stranger about Martin not drinking anymore, which I don't think was for him to say. So, I'm not too surprised by the handshake.
@@NatashaNL nah it’s all blown out of proportion. the whole band was going through so much during SOFAD album. The key was Dave’s condition. Alan and Dave was very close and when Dave’s drug addiction left Alan alone making that album it really killed the joy of making music for Alan.
Can you, please, explain what you meant saying that Dave was always Alan's issue? As far as I know Dave was the only DM member who was in touch with Alan during all these years
This is just the diplomatic side. The three remaining members of DM are making a huge fortune off of Alan Wilder's work. It's a disgrace that they haven't invited him back into the fold.
@ultraviolator I agree! After so many years spent wondering whether they could still be in good terms, the fact that lately they have been collaborating so much is everything a fan could hope for!
If ever there was a time for a reunion it's now,they owe us that for sticking around for so long listening to bang average albums,Alan is in DMs dna and sorely missed,someone is being very selfish and stubborn here
@ShelleShelleKitty Around 1:40am, after both performed and while DJ Daniel Barass was DJ'ing. I was one of lucky ones I guess. They were only picking girls (4 at a time) before allowing other people to meet and greet. My buddy and I stood in line about 1:20am and there were only 4 people in front of us. We got in the backstage just in time to record the moment, didn't have time to get an autograph nor picture from Martin, but I'm not complaining.
I know you all saw the equipment Alan was bidding off. That Emax II i would kill for...especially with all those sounds already loaded in it :) But Alan and Martin and you know Daniel have been talking. Martin is supposed to start writing again at the end of this year, if he already hasn't start writing. But its my opinion that with or without Alan the next DM album will be the last just because of all the issues Dave has going on. But lets hope not. I want Alan and Flood back for the album.
what time was this? after both had already perform or before the show? Or were you one of the lucky ones who got to go back stage after there didn't have a meet n greet for everyone there? As for the video, good timing, and thanks for sharing this, would have love to be there when this happen, even though i was there last night ;/
@2002blacknitews6 I certainly hope so!!! But, final album??? Nooooo!!! If it's going to be a final DM album, then Alan has to return. They would have to do a massive tour together.
@mommysd1 Jen, you're welcome. I remember you, we went in to the backstage in the same group. You got lucky that you were able to sneak in...Plus, you got a picture with the two of them together....lol, good for you.
@2002blacknitews6ur right bro !! I think the same....be sure that alan will rejoin Depeche mode for the new album...i personally think that the release will be in the 1 june 2012 - alan s birthday - That could be the greatest news since more then 15 years.... i feel a lot of respect and regret on their closing brace....i m sure they will work all togheter cause recoil project are done and classified with selected.....the futur will tell us more
it hurts to see this video

I need to cry
i agree
Even if there are no more reunions in the works, seeing this is enough for me:)
for me too!
@Vebinz You're right. And the fact that Martin attended's one of Alan's concerts showed he was obviously at peace with Alan's departure.
This is heart warming! :) Just stumbled on this clip. Been a hardcore DM fan since 1983.
@JezabelGore
I was very pleased to see them hug. Just the fact that Martin decided to dj after Alan's performance was a great accomplishment for their friendship.
I want him just to produce some songs, maybe an album of DM... Not reunion if he doesn't want.

I bloody love this.
Historic moment
awwww..
this is crazy! love them both so much :'3
... and Dave's singing A Question Of Time in the background?
2 Amazing Talents! Come back to DM Alan!!!
If I saw it properly... Martin wanted to just shake hands with Alan.
Yeah, that's kind of embarrassing I think. Man, they were "brothers in arms" once and he wants to shake hands??? Pfff!
@@patee101 There was an interview with Dave, Andy, and Martin back during Ultra and Andy was the one who alluded to Alan's statement, saying that he thought that Alan was saying that they couldn't make it without him.

I'm in this!!! How rad is that!!! What an amaaaaaaaazing experience it was to see them together again!
@ultraviolator thanks for answering back. And thanks again for sharing this great moment with all of us!!
Me too, but it's up to him. Even if DM are gladly ready to welcome him back (let's just say they are), it's up to Alan :).
grandes ! Alan Wilder y Martin Gore❤
ALAN MUST COME BACK TO DM. PERIOD
I'm still reeling from this event! (That's my blonde head boppin around in the back)
They’re still brothers years later, no matter what the media says. They respect each other’s greatness. Dave was always Alan’s issue.
Can you, please, explain what you meant saying that Dave was always Alan's issue? As far as I know Dave was the only DM member who was in touch with Alan during all these years
El principal problema de Alan era Fletcher
@@SYNC128 yeah , i knew as you said .
Deive?
I find it surprising to find the two embracing. They never had much of a relationship. And Martin and Andy seemed to badmouth him when he left.
Notice that it was Alan who went in for the hug and how Martin is not hugging back as much.
@@NatashaNL Looks like they first wanted to shake hands and then simultaneously reached out to hug each other. No need to talk rubbish
This is just the diplomatic side. The three remaining members of DM are making a huge fortune off of Alan Wilder's work. It's a disgrace that they haven't invited him back into the fold.
Yes, indeed.
Damn I wish Alan would come back to DM
@ultraviolator I agree! After so many years spent wondering whether they could still be in good terms, the fact that lately they have been collaborating so much is everything a fan could hope for!
Awwww, them being so friendly with each other is just a dream come true! See, this makes me happy!
If ever there was a time for a reunion it's now,they owe us that for sticking around for so long listening to bang average albums,Alan is in DMs dna and sorely missed,someone is being very selfish and stubborn here
so nice to see this video,I love this so much.....
OH it's really OMG!!!! I stop breathing!!!! Alan please come back to DM even just for 1 alboum!
“Can i give you a hug “ ❤❤❤❤ sweet charlie bear
Alan regresaaaaa ....;/
@JezabelGore Oh, this makes me happy too!!! Million for such a photo with two of them!!! I need a time machine!)
Martin looks so cute! ♥.♥
En sus diferentes estilos dos grandes de la música
Quanta Bellezza in questo abbraccio!!! ❤🌹

With both hands 🥺❤️
You can bet that Alan and Martin have been talking to Daniel Miller about
Alan rejoining for the next and maybe final DM album. One can hope.
Alan me sigue gustando tanto 😍😍😍
I know you all saw the equipment Alan was bidding off. That Emax II i would kill
for...especially with all those sounds already loaded in it :) But Alan and Martin and you know Daniel have been talking.

Come back!
@julietpunk
Very Nice. Alan is enjoying all the attention. Got pictures and autograph from him.
what time was this? after both had already perform or before the show? Or were you one of the lucky ones who got to go back stage after there didn't have a meet n greet for everyone there? As for the video, good timing, and thanks for sharing this, would have love to be there when this happen, even though i was there last night ;/
@2002blacknitews6
Even though Alan said he would never go back to DM, at least, he and Martin seem to be fine...for now.
@dertberd
Cool, glad you've found this video.
wow, i wish i could have been there, but so far away...! "you're miles away..." !!!
@revacohen
But that was back then 15 years ago.
I think since then they've all calmed down and grown up.
@medinloo
It was just Martin DJing after Recoil.
@2002blacknitews6 I certainly hope so!!! But, final album??? Nooooo!!! If it's going to be a final DM album, then Alan has to return. They would have to do a massive tour together.
@nadgahan
Yep, he's back
Ah, Back when you had to take a selfie with an actual camera instead of a smartphone. 😁
@mommysd1
Jen, you're welcome.

That could be the greatest news since more then 15 years....
i feel a lot of respect and regret on their closing brace....i m sure they will work all togheter cause recoil project are done and classified with selected.....the futur will tell us more
@dertberd
In fact, because of you...my friend and I decided to stand and wait by the door where you were talking with the bouncer.
@karimamilena
Indeed. No wonder why someone said "Oh my God", lol
something about 0:06
And Martin has complete teeth now... :)
Bet Alan said my idea for enjoy the silence was better than your dreary melody idea . 🤣😁😅
...and Martin has complete teeth now... :)
