Imagine just 8 years later, these guys would drop Violator. Wrap that awesomeness around your head. What an unbelievable run this band has had. My absolute favourite band on the planet ❤️🎹❤️
@Punchtale Real fans would buy a DM album if it was just 90 minutes of Mediterranean fart noises. There’s hardly another band on the planet from that era that could still do a full run of stadiums 40 years into their career. So respect the boys or shutdafucup 👋🏽😑
A high school colleague got a few of us tickets to see them perform live during the Violator tour. I’m not a DM fan, but I have that album because it’s profoundly good. They look like children here, and they sound bad technically, but I can see that the elements are there - especially the courage and attitude, and the smarts to use sequencers to at least look like they can play cohesively. David’s voice is good. The other guys not so much but they’re enjoying themselves. That confidence took them a long way. 👍🏻
Random dudes doing little ditties in a small club will later become the most influential electronic band in music history. What a perfect footage of the early days of Depeche Mode. And by the way, you see that "Fletch" does not only bum around like he always used to say. This is a great video. Thank you very, very much for uploading this. Back in the days of this gig, you could not imagine that only a few years later these guys would drop "Black Celebration", "Music For The Masses", and "Violator". This was fun watching this.
He played a lot more in the early days. Dave on Fletch, Q mag, 2003 Q: Is Fletch´ skeyboard ever plugged in? A: Yes, it´s plugged in, but I couldn´t honestly say what you get from it. He performs with us live but he seems to spend more time out in front, waving his arms in the air than playing the keyboards. All I Know is that when he goes back to his kit, I look round and I know there ain´t anything happening there.
Not only true live, but also no added effects like reverb etc. And that is pretty rare. (ok, maybe not for an early 80's performance in a small club back then, the PA would've been pretty simple back then, although simple spring reverb units are very old and back then also nothing new)
Brilliant night! That's me at 7.33 in black shirt taking a photo of the guys. I don't know where the photos went to through the years. Went back stage afterwards to meet them, never forgotten!
@@2Skinny The reference is to him never being forgotten as a member of the band. Especially with the death of Fletcher, there's an attempted rewriting of history by some people.
I know, I couldn’t believe it was Alan Wilder either, at first I just thought it was Vince Clarke! I had no idea he was already with them in March 1982, crazy.
Alan Wilder is such a multi-talented musician and writer. He really gave DM an expanded dimension. Acknowledged by everyone at Mute as a creative genius who often stepped in to keep everything together. When Dave almost died after the Speedball incident, it was Alan who kept up the momentum and provided the quality drive to keep DM at the top
R.I.P. Andy Fletcher... Dave Gahan doesn't age at all and still keeps with the same energy! Depeche Mode we hear your music in Tijuana, Baja California, México Salutes!!!
1982... Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark ..with Maid of Orleans. Duran Duran with Save a Prayer. Dexies Midnight Runners with Eileen. U2 with I will Follow and Simple Minds with Promised you a Miracle....what a ERA in time. What a time to have lived in...to be part of. 1982. Unbelievable! And then DM in Luxembourg...at the start of something so big, even they didn't realize. Thanks for showing us these beautiful images.🙏
Я думал, что весь депеш мод пересмотрел, оказывается нет. Про этот концерт слышал в деревне Oberkorn, но не видел.Где то читал OBERCORN Мартин написал после посещения этой деревни. Спасибо автору!!!
This is absolutely incredible quality. I'm in awe and shocked. I can't stop watching. I saw them in 1982. I'm reliving my childhood. Thank you so much!!
It''s funny to see one of the best music bands in the world .. ...which is performed for several dozen people in a room that looks like a school cafeteria. Years later, the beginning of a career can be so touching ...
40 years ago wow. I was 7 years old. And believe it or not, I was already listening to DM, thanks to my older teenage brother (RIP). Also, RIP Fletcher.
@@matthewfarmer6830 it sure does. Waiting for my chance to go back in time to see the DM concerts that I wasn't able to see. Preferably a Violator tour show, Black Celebration and a 101 show.
This is the Depeche Mode I fell in love with. Of course, I was at the “impressionable age” of “Little 15”. As a synth player and keyboard teacher today, this music, along with so many others stirred my imagination, filled my little music heart with so much wonder- took me on a lifelong journey for sure. I am still hypnotized by the fact the keyboards were played live over a drum track on reels. Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this awesome footage! 😎💕🌹
"Oberkorn (It's a Small Town)" ;) Six years later they played Pasadena Rose Bowl in a front of over 60 000 audience... Greetings to DM fans all over the World.
Thank you thank you to whoever posted this footage. It's rare you get to see a band and it's infancy and see this is so strange seeing how I just saw their show from a few weeks ago in 2023 and see those young men standing there having no idea that they would sell an excess of 150 million albums Being inducted into the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame and inspire a whole generation of musicians to think outside the box. Whatever they did to upgrade that footage it definitely has been touched up because video did not look that good in 1982 lol. I think I've already watched it about 10 times.
Amazing footage of the best band of my lifetime. Bar none. They all look so young! Especially Dave, whose mum has clearly just said to him "I really don't think this whole band business is ever going to amount to very much, but if it really means that much to you then you can stay up late just this once to do your concert thing with your little friends. But it's back to normal tomorrow. 8pm bedtime - no arguments!"
I'm curious to know if you're able to remember how much that show cost. It's interesting to see how a band progresses in popularity from absolutely nothing to where they are today....

So glad I found this video! I’ve been enjoying Depeche Mode since the 80’s and my teen daughter recently “discovered” them. The best days of my life happened while listening to Depeche Mode.
Thank you so much for this one. RIP Mr.Fletcher. I hope they somehow will be able to make another record cause simply this world just isn t the same place without DM. I remember all the excitement waiting 4 years for DM to announce they are releasing new album and then finally going to local record store to get my copy as soon as possible. It felt like a birthday to me. Man ,I miss those times.
well their latest records do not reflect their original style in any way anymore. you could say that they evolved musically but i for one don't like their later records starting with playing the angel. so i am not looking forward to a new release unless it would be a old unreleased mastertape find or something similar. bygone were the good times of dm (musically) - at least to my very personal taste and believe me - i gave them a good and thorough listening. and the void that fletch leaves will neither improve that matter. dm forever.
Отличная запись! Не смотря на то, что парни явно не очень сыгрались и выступают в какой то подвальной дыре, на них всё равно приятно посмотреть. И особенно зная о результатах их стараний)))
Нормально трое сыгрались, если выпустили альбом без Кларка. Что же до Вайлдера - он по сравнению с ними со всеми вообще был профом. И ведёт второе соло на синтезе, как надо. Что же до распевок - походу, они просто не слышат себя. Да и отдельный пульт для записи вряд ли был.
This is amazing! They were so young.the beginning of a 40 year legacy! RIP Andy 🙏 Hope these gentlemen continue to bring us amazing music. I'm sure Andy would have wanted that. Love this band!
OHMYGOD. I was having the worst last 24 hours. My baby is leaving the nest and moving out of state, and I’m devistated. This is taking my mind off of it for a few minutes. Thank you.
I first expected "Oberkorn, it's a small town", which was on the 12" Maxi-Single of "The Meaning of Love", ... now at least I know how they likely came to the title 🙂 Indeed stellar recording quality, félicitations & merci beaucoup aux enregistrateurs
Fantastic. Dave so confident at such a young age in a foreign country with the crowd so close up. It's crazy how young Martin and Dave look having seen them close up just a month ago in London. DM forever 🖤
Wow wow wow, Dave looks like he’s friggin 12 years old. This is gold man. Surprised at how tight they were live, especially the vocals. This brings me back to my childhood. I was 10 years old when they played this gig. LOL. Thanks for posting. RIP Andy Fletcher, Long live the clapper!
This is such an incredibly rare treasure. The audio quality and video were captured incredibly well, showcasing both their fledgling youth and inexperience as performers: shy, stilted, pitchy backing vocals, an attentive crowd but not quite sure what to make of this unusual new all-synth band performing every analog note along to a taped drum loop machine. The vast majority of early DM recording were captured from live television performances where 99% of the sound was pre-recorded and lip-synced so we could never get an accurate depiction of how they sounded as a raw, live band. I absolutely love this!
Chi lo avrebbe detto che quel ragazzino chiamato Dave sarebbe diventato il miglior frontman nei concerti live ...quanta strada hanno fatto questi meravigliosi ragazzi ❤
That is the most amazing old footage I have seen of the young Depeche Mode, you can feel their creative souls and it's all original sound , this is where the magic happens! Oh I wish I could have been there. I was 17 at the time.
This is an incredible bit of music history. Very clear video and wow, they improved quickly after this. Nobody would have bet on them lasting a few months let alone decades.I need to edit. They got into their groove by New Life.
Thank you for uploading this. This Video ist real gold. I knew that they once played in Oberkorn, but that this was recorded in such a great quality, is a mega-surprise to me.
How much conviction must an artist have to stick with it, how do you not get discouraged when you look like a high schooler with an epileptic seizure and your sound is still so raw and dissonant at times? To go from that to fucking icons....amazing.
This is a lot like a high quality video of seeing the Beatles from their "Cavern" days. Small venue, the heyday a few short years away, brilliant songs. What a gem of a video!
Pretty sure I still have the first two songs as singles on vinyl! Wow, can't believe this was 40 years ago. I was learning to code on my ZX Spectrum when they were doing this. And that audience is the most eighties thing I've seen for quite a while :)
00:01 - See You
04:02 - New Life
07:38 - Just Can’t Get Enough
I would've enjoyed some more silence here.
Time I meant to say ?
I believe one band member passed recently? X bless rip x
I remember them like this. Happier times for me. 😊
На заднике сцены призма с DSOTM Pink Floyd..
what a gem of a recording. dave had all the confidence in the world at such a young age.
That voice, that presence, those rhythm, all from his teen years and still!

He had such a mature voice for such a young person.
A good dancee too

@@damienhart9149 You're kidding, right? The sound is obviously overdubbed. Not a single sound from the crowd...

Wow, a lot of bands in front of them, Kraftwerk being one of them. At the time of this recording even Blancmange were. bigger.
Great band ... but nowhere near as influential or game-changing as Kraftwerk. DM could have sold more albums albums though
They sound a lot like DEVO, but OK.
What a beautiful era... people enjoying the show and dancing... not filming the concert on their smart phone...
And no auto-tune making everything "perfect"
For a bunch of young kids...those synthesisers must have cost a fortune.
perfect response.
There might be a reason for that....
The moment. Living.
Love this so much! It's a true live performance, no lip-synching here! They each look like they are only 15! Classic.
Exactly it's really bad but give them loads of respect for actually singing
But how old they were, really?
@@uidentityaround 20.
Martin & Andrew: 1961
Dave :1962

I absolutely love this!
42 years,,, how time flies... still love to play this songs to this day...
Chi lo avrebbe detto che quel ragazzino chiamato Dave sarebbe diventato il miglior frontman nei concerti live ...quanta strada hanno fatto questi meravigliosi ragazzi ❤
Che incredibile viaggio abbiamo fatto insieme a loro fin dall’inizio…. Sono quasi commosso
Danke fuer das hochladen des Videos. Loveit!
This must have been revolutionary at the time. What a great watch and listen.
See You is one of my favorite DM songs. Very underrated and a shame they never played it again in the post-1986 era.
It's the first single I ever bought.
always happy to learn about underrated things on yt. i would assume that even the word "underrated" is underrated.
It wasn't depressive enough.

That is the most amazing old footage I have seen of the young Depeche Mode, you can feel their creative souls and it's all original sound , this is where the magic happens! Oh I wish I could have been there. I was 17 at the time.
That was awesome! It felt like falling out of a time machine... thanks for posting! 👍
This is an incredible bit of music history. Very clear video and wow, they improved quickly after this. Nobody would have bet on them lasting a few months let alone decades.I need to edit. They got into their groove by New Life.
I can't imagine seeing them in such a small club! Lucky!
How can this be so great... How can I envy a 1982 recording.. Im from 87!
First time I saw them there were maximum 1000 people there. Tiny place. Then later in 1982 maybe 2000 people? Great shows.
Amazing! RIP Andy Fletcher.
It is wonderful. Thanks for the memories. Back then, no one expected DM to be so loved all over the world. RIP Andy❤
Thank you for uploading this. This Video ist real gold. I knew that they once played in Oberkorn, but that this was recorded in such a great quality, is a mega-surprise to me.
A broken frame is their best record. This concert is fabulous!
Glad i was there in the 80's to see it unfold and be part of it. New life was the first single i bought. It was out if this world back then.
Watch this and then 101. So cool to see the differences in every form. Love them!
Tanks for the upload x
Thanks for sharing! They made an instrumental after this city. "Oberkorn (it`s a small town)" Think it was the B-side to "The Meaning of Love" single.
Детство, юность... Эх!
Как же давно это было!
Спасибо!
❤❤❤ Oh Mann,wie gerne würde ich zurück in diese Zeit 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for taking me back to my youth. I forgot how much I liked Depeche Mode. Very cool.
I love these early videos. It’s cool listening to Dave Gahan find his voice over the years
Грустим и скорбим. Эндрю Флетчер. Очень жаль. Россия, Москва. Июнь2022.
This recording is a real rarity, thanks :)
How much conviction must an artist have to stick with it, how do you not get discouraged when you look like a high schooler with an epileptic seizure and your sound is still so raw and dissonant at times? To go from that to fucking icons....amazing.
Well said Alex, your spot on.👍👍
... it's because of youthfulness, testosterones, foolishness, and a little bit of luck and talent. ✌🏽
That's how 😊
Four young people with chemistry, experimenting with making music. Doesn't like like there's any outside interference. So pure and exciting to watch.
This is a lot like a high quality video of seeing the Beatles from their "Cavern" days. Small venue, the heyday a few short years away, brilliant songs. What a gem of a video!
Pretty sure I still have the first two songs as singles on vinyl! Wow, can't believe this was 40 years ago. I was learning to code on my ZX Spectrum when they were doing this. And that audience is the most eighties thing I've seen for quite a while :)
Shout out, Good Sir, to the Spectrum!! And this is coming from a lifelong Commodore 64 fan! 👍👍
Очень мило, спасибо, приятно было посмотеть
Love seeing them playing with Wilder there. Wish he was back with them...
Talento más trabajo duro...gran documento de una de las mejores bandas de todos los tiempos. Larga vida a Depeche Mode.❤
Seems like the most intimate show they ever did. They're all on top of one another, band members and crowd.
Just in case you haven't seen those pictures, Google "Depeche Mode beer crates" and you'll be amazed.
