I'm revisiting this song after many years...What I always liked about it is that it features some of THE most forgotten cities of the American west- Amarillo, Gallup, Winona, Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino and turns them into almost mythic destinations. You can still get that Route 66 vibe today if you follow the original road.
They were hurt by I-40 which let people drive right past them. Little towns like Shamrock, TX took a huge hit when RT 66 was decommissioned. Thankfully the nostalgia boom that began in the 1990’s has encouraged many people (often foreign visitors) to travel the “Mother Road.” If you own a motorcycle you owe it to yourself to ride it at least once. I especially recommend going East to West.
My wife traveled that route to Los Angeles, and left her sister in Gallup New Mexico. She became a social worker, and guided us into, well, many things. I grew up along Route 66, my parents descendants of pioneers of Oregon Trail,
It was the very first cross country highway from Chicago to L.A. It's historic! It came LONG before ALL the modern interstate freeways that criss-cross the U.S.
The best song, route 66 beautiful desert, smoke weed in the car in arizona, drinking beer in the históric bar. From Chile saludos! Alucino cok esta música....
It may have been the end of an era for the Mother Road(at the time)when this cover [song] came out... But who cares! It's still a good song and yes 👍! I'm all about route 66..... ☺
Keine schlechte Version. Doch beim mehrmaligen befahren Derselbigen knallt nur die der Stones rein, wenn er auch noch weitere Fassungen von diesem Song aus den 40iger gibt.

66 went north and south as much as east and west...a dreadful experience...thank God for interstate 40...glamorized like the Mafia murderers of the Godfather genre.

New Wave was just a general term for all the kind of brand new music you got in the beginning of the 80s, simply because it sounded extremely different than the music from the 70s. What Depeche Mode, Midge Ure, Joy Division (later New Order), Soft Cell, Visage and all the others made there in the beginning of the 80s, is called Synth-pop.
Yeah, we did. Maybe it depended on where you lived. People who were into bands like this were called wavers. The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, etc. People who were into metal, hair rock, etc. were called rockers. Obviously there was quite a bit of overlap. If you build a half pipe in your backyard, your bangs are long and swooped over one eye, you're obsessed with "trucks" and Tony Hawk is your idol, you're a skater. If you have a mohawk and safety pins in your skin ( your friend pierced you) you're punk, if you wear only black and think everyone else is some cookie cutter, zero personality follower, you're goth. Funny memories.
Mixture of versions (Never Let Me Down, Behind the Wheel and World in my eyes). Either way, Depeche Mode still sounds absolutely great!! It's a shame my generation of 15-20 don't know what real music is like.
all the kids know now is hip hop and rap that mostly sounds like garbage. Funny how as wild as rock and pop was...the artists werent gunning each other down in the streets. Not even the country singers that talked about drinking and guns.
Finally found this version! I heard this over over a decade ago and didn't know who sang it, I picked up Burnout Paradise Remasterd (I never played the original) and found this song in it. Funny thing is I like a lot of Depeche Mode songs to but I didn't know they covered this.
Matthew Wells i played the original burnout paradise where i first heard the beatmaster's mix of this song. I later went to check out the original and its one of my alltime favourite songs now.
I discovered this incredible version of Bobby Troop's awesome song on the soundtrack of the movie Earth Girls Are Easy (and no I am not making this up).
Drove a portion of it in 2019 on the way to Grand Canyon. We stopped in Winslow and Williams. If I ever strike it rich, I'm restoring a '59 Eldorado and will cruise the whole thing.
Also giving credit to Nate Cole, the original artist of this song “(get your kicks on) Route 66”. He was one of the rare black artists of that time (40s) who had made the top ten of the pop charts that were solely dominated by white artists.
I've been to both ends. I used to live in Santa Monica so it was right on the pier. Was visiting family in Chicago on the other end. I hope to plan a route 66 trip. My cousin did that trip on his honeymoon. I always request this song on siriusxm first wave.
when my uncle got out of the army at the end of wwii he travelled route 66 all the way from California to Chicago.... he got tired of the road... in those days it went through towns and you had to follow the signage, etc, .,,,,when they go to the VERY END OF THE HIGHWAY... it was almost dead ending into Lake Michigan and there was a big sign: 'THIS IS THE END OF ROUTE 66'.... he nearly died laughing and told that story over and over till he died in 2005

1969...my first trp to Calif from Pa..i was 19..rode on 66 some...saw a lot...was baked n fried in Arizona..whew...glad I made it once

Just because it happened to you doesn't make it interesting.
J'adore ce cover de dépêche mode Sublime hommage
It was the very first cross country highway from Chicago to L.A. It's historic! It came LONG before ALL the modern interstate freeways that criss-cross the U.S.
Actually it wasn't, the Lincoln highway came first.
enough love to go around to Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway
Probably, the best version of this song.

Best Route 66 American Main Road Street Ever!
wow were was this song all my life its freaking awesome hope my neighbors like it bahahaha 😁👍
That is awesome that a British band talked about one of the best trips in USA. The instrumental is incredible
It's actually a cover of a 1946 American song, but it's one of the better ones!
Hello, It my favorite song of Depeche Mode!!! ¡
Twenty years after the Stones did the same!
Xx
It was a perfect fit with “Behind the Wheel” and their U.S. tour (culminating at the Rose Bowl and the “101” album and tour film).
There are still sections (now called "Old Route 66") in southern Missouri.
Это классно. Молодцы.
Неужели лучше Лепса и Газманова?
It may have been the end of an era for the Mother Road(at the time)when this cover [song] came out... But who cares! It's still a good song and yes 👍! I'm all about route 66..... ☺
Хубава песен.
Back in the day I rode my bicycle on it from Lincoln to McLean Illinois a good way to see some of the early pavement
Route 66 is an american icon.
Браво
Jackie and Jake always get their KICKS
Most Excellent.:) Enjoy the Music.:)
I first heard this in Earth Girls are Easy.
always the best route
Депеш мод - самая лучшая и оригинальная , талантливая группа на Западе.Главное без кича.
На этом языке теперь восхищаются только творчеством Иосифа Кобзона!!!
Il tempo passa inesorabile ,,😂😂😂,,
Filmed at same time as behind the wheel i see. Recommend dinosaur loop too as it is what 66 used to be more of.
This song makes me imagine automobile racing.
great road trip
Wow. Forgot about this version and didn't know DM made it. I would have guessed INXS.
GET YOUR KICKS ON ROUTE 66 🎶 🎵
I live in a town with the smallest bit of route 66 in illinois
SHARED!!!!
I've lived on Route 66 all my life and in reality it is nothing like it was in the 50's and 60's it's essentially dead
I always thought this song was a bit corny(apologies to Bobby Troup), but this cover gives it a darker tone that I really like.
💥🖤💥
"LETZ GO MEXICO!"
Keine schlechte Version. Doch beim mehrmaligen befahren Derselbigen knallt nur die der Stones rein, wenn er auch noch weitere Fassungen von diesem Song aus den 40iger gibt.

@DaveGahan aka Rick the #Stars in this #video are my grandfathers .....this tells a #story of a #tour , yes?
Which version is this, because it is not the Nile Rodgers Mix (I just bought that on Amazon and it is not the same). Does anyone know?
66 went north and south as much as east and west...a dreadful experience...thank God for interstate 40...glamorized like the Mafia murderers of the Godfather genre.
the best depeche mode song
Yup
It's good and they did really well but this is a cover song.
Not DM song. Composed in 1946 by american songwriter Bobby Troup

Больше нравятся Роллинги😂
this song should definitely have been called "Behind The Wheel (Down The Route 66)"
if you haven't driven on Route 66, do it before it's too late. it's a spiritual experience and it's what America once was all over....
Yeah!!!
Now its july 2020, and I guess time has come!
Lets go US & make this spiritual path👍🔥
From Moscow👉
@@Kyna1_ 👌👌👌
time to pack my 93 cherokee and hit the road
Say hi of youre by amarillo!
Yeah, one of the main reasons I want to go to Route 66 is just to listen this song for the whole trip.
Did you go already?
i'ts not there any more... they abolished that number for US routes
The distorted guitar gives this a distinct ZZ Top feel. I like this version.
EXACTLY what I thought in the first 3 seconds
because it is they sampled it then changed it
I gues it is Nile Rogers who was playing on it
If only you could actually get ahold of this version….
its an AC/DC riff man
Well if you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that's the best

World In My Eyes wasn't a thing and there is zero Never Let Me Down in this. So, the only thing you are right about is Behind the Wheel.
congratulations that YOU DO
very impressive!!!

Who doesn't? 😊😊😊😊
Fun Fact: Bobby Troop, who wrote Route 66, played Dr. Joe Early on the 1970's tv series Emergency!
Also giving credit to Nate Cole, the original artist of this song “(get your kicks on) Route 66”. He was one of the rare black artists of that time (40s) who had made the top ten of the pop charts that were solely dominated by white artists.
The Stones have a really great version. Natalie Cole has a totally jazzy version. Lots of different well known artists recorded this song.
muy buena version de este clasico de los 50s ., incrieble que una cancion no tenga época cuando es buena trasciende el tiempo ademas esta bueno el mix
y lo más increíble es que un grupo inglés cantaría de una cosa estadounidense tan típico
