Depeche Mode - World In My Eyes (Biloxi 1994)

[r7474r]

Сколько же энергетики было у Дейва тогда ... !

[hannibalchengthe2nd]

Any performance without Andrew Fletcher is a good performance.

[cspot21]

I love them but not the best since David was evidently totally under the influence! I saw him perform in Frankfurt in1990 and much better!!

[socaldm]

Take me on a trip...in your time machine so we can all go see this tour again!

[EnjoyTheSurface]

as martin said once said, i write songs mostly about three things: sex, religion and clothes

world in my eyes falls under the first subject....

[punkiejunkie1000]

this song is defintely about sex, not drugs. in fact, im doing it to it right now!!!

[adairrules1]

so true but depeche is still the best

[bolissa]

Dave's voice was never the same after this tour. *sigh* But I do think he still sounded great on the Singles Tour.

[MrJaviermode]

.....☾★ F‡ ☩ D‡VO☩OC☥OΠ.....

[Mr1SXM]

imnot sure if this track is about heroin.

[bolissa]

@Mr1SXM It's not. Martin claims to not have known much at all about heroin. Plus this song was recorded in 1989 for Violator, before Dave's problems spiraled.

[Mr1SXM]

@bolissa on a long long trip, where you dont move and just sit still!

maybe he likes fucking his girls/boys seated in a chair?

[Orsidire]

@Mr1SXM uhhhh no. The song is about sexual seduction. I think its sexy as all hell. Without getting graphic, the beat pulls you in and the subtle lyrics suggest rocking someone's world. Thus, the world in my eyes.

[1974res]

The best power tour of DM !

[Beyond13337]

cheeky Dave

[morrissey102]

version of World In My Eyes from Devotional tour still fucking awesome!!hell yeaah!

[electriclady101]

Ok... So I was watching this video... a g a i n :) and my uncle came in this 1:56 moment. He glanced at the screen, at me and asked:

'What are you doing?'

I said: 'I'm just watching Dave... Depeche Mode... you know...'

He just smiled but it was WEIRD !!! :D :D

[morrissey102]

@electriclady101 lol))) uncle was a fan)ha

[rockondon]

DM=A-HA WORLD TOUR?

[frontovic]

Дейв великолепен.но видимо под кайфом,что-то расплевался.видать сушнячок.

[GodmyX]

I can't help myself, but I loooove this intro for World in my eyes.... it's so... mystic!

[69marylu69]

mmmm Dave so sexy!!!

[annagahanwrong]

наркоманчик мой любимый))) скока энергии тогда было....

[agilitygirl]

[mxrty78]

[TheRaindrop75]

[Andreamus]

[Andreamus]

And you wont need a map believe me....

I believe you Dave..

Madly in love with this Force of Nature aka Dave Gahan.. What a voice, What a nerve, What an energy, What a move...

[electriclady101]

1:57

OH... MY... GOD... I just can't breathe... My heart beats like crazy... Ladies and gentelmen I'm madly in love with Dave Gahan!

lol :)))))))))

[Andreamus]

@electriclady101: Will it comfort you to know that you are not alone.. or will it just be more *competition* NOOOOOOOO Let's share the looooooove....

Dave Gahan - what a marvelous darling unique human being...

[electriclady101]

Oh no! No competition! Never! :) We have so much love to Dave! And I agree we can share :D

[ddarkwade]

Forgot to add, it contains elements from the 'oil tank mix' of the tune.

[ddarkwade]

This re-worked version DM perform live is even better than the original in my opinion, great and powerful record.

[ciacibus]

ooooooooh my god..DAVE...lol fantastik !

[tripleh1067]

Holy Shit time flys slowly

i went to two exotic tour concerts and this was one of em i also went to

one devotional tour concerts

[SillyLoveSongBeatles]

GOD!!! I was a new born babyy on those dayys! xD that's why ! lol xD Dragostea vieti mele dave, mart, alan and fletch! xD

[HeartlandGirl]

Mmmmm... Dave.

[IcemachineDk]

Best band ever!!

[Olshia666]

love...;]

but i was 3yrs old back then ;)

[starnja2009]

I always remember the artistry and pageantry of their concerts, too. I remember the Music For Masses concert: the opening used immense Fog, immense Roman-style vexilla (flags on staves) with the loudspeaker symbol on them. Projected slides from history and art. It was loaded with pageantry and symbolism. It reminded me in style of a Nuremberg rally--for art design.

[immortaltwinsouls]

niiiiiiiiiiice....

[anderfisch3]

when i here this song i think of martin

[meowbunny13]

i will say this much they still rock. Just saw them Saturday and they still were packed and rocked like there was no tommorow!

[amaister93]

What an outstanding intro! Go DM!

[ANJMAINYU]

oh Dave es la lujuria hecha hombre o_0

[gein87]

si !!! sobre todo despues d ver del min 1.56 al 2.02 ...tu afirmacion tiene mas sentido!!

[vcarreon04]

damn dave gahan gets so into it everytime he performs this song...im trying to find a concert clip of this song i saw a while ago. i cant find it...he was wearing purple...and he was really freaky lol when is he not? lol but i cant find it!

[vuseaboteque]

we want Alan return!!!!

[AnnaWUTAL]

i was 9 years old when they had that gig but to me DM are kinda heroes :))))

[carollovealan]

Alan I miss you!!!!!

[faithanddevotion]

I love the intro to this song on the Faith and Devotion and Exotic tours. So amazing, best version of the song I ever heard. However, I did like hearing the live drums for this song on the P.T.A.T.

[btdtlol7]

Alan, show me the World in your Eyes!!!!!

Damn, you're sooooo freakin HOTTTT!!!!

[minisluy]

is it at the part where fletch left the tour because of mental health problem

[honoluluguitarist]

Fletch's last show was in Honolulu, Hawaii during the Exotic leg, earlier that year.

[dmchikelectrik]

1:57 at 2:08 O_O

oh my gahan!! :P

[gein87]

he is such a teaser! BUT I LOVE IT!

[btdtlol7]

Alan is so freakin hot in this video! Look at those arms!

[xlxLuridDollxlx]

Theres a way cooler mix of this on Christine Dolce myspace tho, I can't find it anywhere! I think its by Sunglasses at Night.

[xlxLuridDollxlx]

I wonder what the world would look like through their eyes o.O Hmm

[Leslie091]

During this concert Dave was high as fuck, and they still managed to give a blow away of a show! I love them! Although it's hard to see Dave so fucked up as in this vid.. Don't get me wrong! They are the best! But during this period Dave was just not feeling so well and drugs made it even worse..

[guest343]

always sounds like they're doing a job instead of singing... studio records are always better because they sound just perfect.

[busted276]

great intro.. my favourite song :D

[pavblo]

great intro

[GraceBarra]

they r the best

[carollovealan]

my favourite song

[ANKHifyouLOVEdjehuti]

mine, too!!!

[Giancarlik]

I love this song!!!

[sweetheartbreaker666]

In My Opinion...

It was the "Devotional Tour" that showed the band in it's absolute best form. Every album and tour performance of the band prior to this one was a build up to and peaked at with the support of this album/tour we see hear...

and every album and tour that followed was a gradual decline from SOFAD.

I also think that this tour showed the band with it's "Coolest" look, style, and appearance. Too bad we have to get older!! xD

Just my 2 cents.

[Pergiacomo]

Quote every word, i love the Devotional stage and lighting...and 'feel' so much!

Corbijn did an amazing job, and DM asre in their best form...Dave is like a thin violin string,.,,that period was the height of his substance intake.

[beowulven]

@sweetheartbreaker666

Older and sober.

[bugmusk6]

@sweetheartbreaker666 I couldn't agree more!!!

[auk0]

@sweetheartbreaker666 although i am a violator era fan, the sofad era was indeed their best ever

[dlconnell]

I disagree @sweetheartbreaker666. I saw their concert here in CA that same year. While the show was awesome, they seemed disjointed and a little all over the place. I think they've become wiser and more seasoned with all the work they've done in their personal and professional lives since this tour. Saw them in '01 too and it was all round much better!!!

[sigurros11]

I think this version is so strong by Dave ---how he play with his scream----fantastic

[monomana]

He was still pulling sexy off in '94 before he got creepy. :)

Seeing the stage cut from it's former glory makes me sad.

[agilitygirl]

Hi, just interested what you mean about Dave being 'creepy'now. And do you mean that now the stage they use is alot smaller? I have seen them many times, but I think the SOFAD Tour was incredible, perhaps it was more fascinating to watch Dave as you know how addicted he was to Heroin then, and it was also the last tour that Alan was with them. Dave was truly mesmorising then, and no his voice is not as good now 'live' and his dancing not as 'fantastic', but we all get older.

[Gahanaholic]

Damn, he's the best frontman ever!!!! LOVE you David!!

[StayDepeched]

devotional dave = best frontman ever!

[darkestroomboy]

Can somebody tell me whats the name of this Version and where i can find this Version besides the Live-Album? Thx

[monomana]

I think this particular mix was a mix by Alan and I believe it's only for the live Devotional version, the only one that sounds even close is the Mayhem mode mix. Dammit, I wish I knew if there was a replicated studio version. D:<

[rastina123]

There is no name for this version..It was created for devotional tour..later used for summer and exotic tour in 1994....you can find it on a single IN YOUR ROOM together with live versions of policy of truth, fly on the windscreen and world in my eyes from devotional tour 1993 recorded live in Lievin - France......There is three versions of single In your room nd its on of them...check it out. Its really worth it.

[dusk728728]

con violator depeche mode fue implacable y dio la cara por el sinth pop ya que solo habia un new order desorganizado un erasure debil y krafwerk desaparecido de las demas bandas de sinth poop mejor ni hablamos en cualquier epoca violator de la vuelta a todos

[laraidah]

money.

[bolissa]

It's amazing that Dave could get up on stage at this point and still rock the house. I guess the quality of their live shows was the silver lining on a very bleak period. I guess it made up for the disasterous things that were happening off-stage. Dave could still put on an amazing performance, but watching him here makes me kinda sad. He must weigh 100 lbs. He just looks so sick. But his voice is pure velvet, I'll give you that.

[cubalacubana]

i love the way he moves!!

[sleeplessinprovo]

Ed Sullivan is rolling over in his grave thinking how could he have dealt with explaining Depoche to sponsors. Ha! The party lines in the country would have been lit up after such a performance!

[JaveDMode]

Yeah that's right! Damn I wish I saw them more than once in 1993/94. DAMN!

[muaythai4ko]

DM went around the world twice on this tour.. They were that demanded!!!!.

[aniq83]

Great! Which of you was there?

[jrock714]

Depeche's best era by far. Loved both tours and Alan's update to all the older tracks. I agree, they aren't as good without him.

[faithanddevotion]

The songs "The Bottom Line" and "Freestate" off Ultra, I beleive, are some of Martin's best lyrics ever. Too bad Alan wasn't around to ensure the musical mood and sound matched the beauty and depth of Martin's words. I wish that the other band memebers, particularly Martin and Fletch, had been more appreciative publicly and privately of Alan's talent and hard work.

[bolissa]

The last three songs on Ultra, IMO, is the best closing run out of all the DM albums.

[faithanddevotion]

Alam Wilder is the missing ingredient that allowed this band to reach such immeasurable proportions. They would not have acheived world fame without his talent and ear for the right sounds. However, I still follow them because I love Martin's gift of lyrical expression; which is also a huge talent....

[HeatFromStreets79]

"Fletch wasn't even with them. his wife was pregnant" That's what Dave wanted you to believe....that Fletch left because of his wife. He was on the brink of a nervous breakdown and bailed. (Just like the rest of them) I saw the Summer Tour on 12 different nights. Best Shows Ever - even though the set was short. I don't listen to any DM past SOFAD. Wilder is key to this band's brillance.

[modesteinissey]

heatfromstreets79...I thought Ultra was pretty good. And the last tour really was a good one. Alan Wilder is missed big time I agree but I still am glad they didn't just stop.

[bolissa]

I agree. Ultra was an amazing album and they are still put on the best live show you'll see. I'd rather have DM continue without Alan than just throw in the towel and say "Woe is me."

[rastina123]

Not because Dave wanted to be the band closer together was the set different from the european one but because of the financial aspect and moving the whole set around so much during the american leg of the tour. Watch Anton Corbijn on the Devotional DVD in the extras section...

DM forever

[rastina123]

I saw them 6 times during this tour...And they had never and will never be better live than here..

[faithanddevotion]

I agree that they were amazing during this time, but I believe that Dave also brought his A game on the Singles Tour.. After cleaning up, he was out to prove himself because it represented a new beginning for him. He was BA at 31/32 as well as 36 years. Yes, the Faith and Devotion Tour was the shiznet and there will never be another like it!!

[Byllesi]

Do somone know what has happened in the audience when Dave seem to be so existed ?

It's a very good song and a pretty video but I'm said when I see him junk like this.

Thank you for sharing

[cosssio]

WHAT'S UP WITH THE STAGE???

[tsfella]

You can say the Devotional Tour was split into two parts.. the first part took place during 1993 and was called the Devotional Tour in which you saw all thirteen or so of those screens. During 1994, the second half, it was split into two sub-tours called The Exotic Tour and the Summer Tour.

[xiaoxia5]

yep, yep. the second half of the tour Fletch wasn't even with them. his wife was pregnant, so he left and Daryl Bamonte(yes Perry's brother) DM's touring manager filled in for Fletch's very minimal keyboard duties.

[tsfella]

(second half of my message:) For these tours, the stage was smaller and there was only one big screen similar to the World Violation and Exciter tours. Dave wanted a smaller setup for 1994 because he wanted the band to be close together during live shows.

[cosssio]

Thanks for the feedback!!!!

[UnderTheInfluenceOfM]

@tsfella Anton Corbjin said it was because it was simply too expensive to take all that stage around the world so he was asked to simplify it to cut costs

[UncleSamFisher]

@tsfella

They had two screens during the World Violaton.
