@davidjmcelroy Additionally, a higher quality version of this video is available here: dmlive.wiki/wiki/1982-10-2…

Firstly, here it is in its live glory in 1982. It really is one of the maddest songs Depeche Mode have recorded. 🧵continues... youtube.com/watch?v=SHl-Si…

It's fair to say that Shouldn't Have Done That by @depechemode is not one of their better known works, nor is it one people consider a classic. Fine. But, do you fancy a fascinating fact about the song? Read on...🧵

@davidjmcelroy Thanks for the kind words David, and I hope you feel better soon!

And much more. I take no credit for any of this - it is ALL the magical work of @DMLiveWiki . I've been in the house with Covid all week, am going mad and this partiuclar discovery cheered me greatly. Thanks @DMLiveWiki #DepecheMode 🧵Ends

43 years ago today in 1981: a performance at The Venue in London, and Martin Gore’s 20th birthday. Stream & download a good audience recording here: dmlive.wiki/wiki/1981-07-2…

Today we are celebrating our friend, Mr Martin Lee Gore! Your music have been the heartbeat of many listeners playlists and continue to be so — on this wonderful day, let’s dance to some great tunes! Which Martin Gore track you are picking to play out loud?

“Playing The Angel” is often regarded as a victim of the “loudness war”. Here’s a screenshot of the waveform for “Precious” comparing the CD, vinyl, and SACD stereo versions. Screenshots & audio samples of every song from each version can be found here: dmlive.wiki/wiki/Playing_T…

@Polewka123 @ChrisJamesBaird Not yet. Still trying to achieve contact with that individual. I possess a “low gen” Betamax otherwise though, but I’ve sat on it for a while because of some other flaws with it.

@DMLiveWiki @ChrisJamesBaird Did you get a copy of the Betamax...? Saw some chatter in the YouTube comments...

The best quality I've ever seen this show. Nice tidying up of the audio too. #DepecheMode youtu.be/rJQsYjn2NUs?si…

@ChrisJamesBaird @Polewka123 No, this isn’t my version or rework. Still working on a lower generation copy Betamax tape.

@Polewka123 Dmlive.wiki did it. This guys poached it

@Lets_Avenge Thanks for your patience, the interview audio from SoundCloud has been mirrored on the wiki and is available once again.

@Lets_Avenge Looks like it was removed from SoundCloud and is not available via archive.org. Thanks for the heads up - we'll try to see if someone else might've downloaded it so it can be mirrored.

Hey @DMLiveWiki Don't know if this is the right place to ask but, if I notice a link has gone down (the SoundCloud link to the Q&A at SXSW 2013), is there a proper way to report it?

Added high-quality footage of the "20th Century Box" television segment, including rehearsal footage of "Let's Get Together", interviews with the band and with fans outside the Crocs nightclub, and footage of playback performances inside the club: dmlive.wiki/wiki/1981-08-2…

Did you know there is a version of "Suffer Well" with vocals re-recorded in Simlish, the fictional language used in the Sims video game series? There's even a music video for this version created using in-game footage. Listen, watch, and read more here: dmlive.wiki/wiki/Suffer_We…

@sodascone @ByTor_X1 @dimeadozenorg which is a torrent tracker for live recordings - I’ve adjusted the wiki page to link to that website at that text for future readers, thanks!

@DMLiveWiki @ByTor_X1 Sorry for potential daft question, but what is DIME where you’re posting Nitzer Ebb gig? 🙏😬

Added an upgrade of the 1990-06-29 Detroit audience recording sourced from the below eBay-acquired presumed first-generation tapes courtesy of @ByTor_X1 at the Rush Archives. Stream & download: dmlive.wiki/wiki/1990-06-2…

43 years ago today: 1981-06-11 BBC Studio Session. Stream & download the best quality version without DJ chatter interrupting the songs here: dmlive.wiki/wiki/1981-06-1…

@davidjmcelroy Also of note are two earlier live versions. One which recently surfaced that has totally different lyrics and arrangement is likely the source of the song’s bizarre title, and a later version which more closely resembles the album version: dmlive.wiki/wiki/I_Sometim…

The original magazine and flexi. The track was remixed and renamed as I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead for Speak & Spell #DepecheMode

New #DepecheMode things - Strangelove US 7” and Flexipop Promo album. Sometimes I Wish I Was Dead featured in a Flexidisc given away with the magazine as did a number of other tracks. This album (only 50 exist) features every one of those tracks

@andykzook The “Toys” bootleg sounds dreadful indeed. I was very pleased when the initial transfer of this master tape surfaced around 10 years ago and I’m happy to have the opportunity to provide a definitive & patched version today. 🙂

@DMLiveWiki One of My favorite shows!! I lived in Europe in 1986 and had a copy of the Toys LP. That was a total disaster. Wrong speed, super generated tape. We’ve come along way!

Added a fresh 2024 transfer of the 1982-02-21 Glasgow FM radio broadcast master cassette. Improved quality, patched "New Life", and DJ intro/outros kept. Stream & download at the wiki, or on YouTube (link at next reply): dmlive.wiki/wiki/1982-02-2…

Also streamable on YouTube here: youtu.be/1q-BX5fJEfU

@Polewka123 If I remember correctly the audio on this bootleg is dubbed from cassette. 🤢

Levels are all over the shop. Have a CD-R version which is much better..still...nice package. 🤔👍
