Depeche Mode - Alan Wilder playing piano on "Somebody" London @ Royal Albert Hall 2010.02.17 in HD

Watch the video and cry like most of the crowd did. This was truly a magical moment I will never forget I was lucky enough to be a part of.

Ticket to RAH - $100

Air fair to London from Los Angeles - $500

Opening the door for Alan and his family before the gig, then watching him walk on stage for the first time in almost 16 years at a DM gig and perform 1 song... F&CKING PRICELESS!!!!

THANK YOU!

Martin Gore is a genius - but he needs Alan Wilder. Alan is the only person who completely understands Martin's work and how to make his ground material devine. It's a simple fact that Martin and Alan was made for each other. Alan is rumored to return to produce (at least) the next DM album. Tears of joy will certainly fall from my eyes if that dream comes true. I would be more than happy to see DM making new standards again with Alan Wilder.

DM is still DM, and their live shows are nothing less than incredible. After 30 years, Dave still wraps a crowd around his little finger and keeps them there. His energy, I have no idea where he gets his energy, but he's still got it. However, since WIlder's departure, they have not  been nearly as musical or innovative. Alan was the musical force behind the band and created the music for some of Gen-X's greatest songs. Its hard to deny the difference in DM with Alan and DM ever since.

Alan should do some work with the band.That's what got me hooked into their music in the early 80's,and have been a fan of Depeche ever since.I think Martin is an excellent song writer and overall very talented as well.

Oh my god...ALAN !!

Every member of Depeche Mode each brought a devine part to the band. All ingredients were put together to make amazing music. Since Wilder's departure from the band, there was always something missing. Like with food, just never tasted as good as it should be. If you members of Depeche Mode are reading this, please get back to your musical baking habits. Trust me, you will enjoy the taste of your own food that much more!

@chichiboypumpi A Broken Frame is second. Alan Wilder does not appear on that album. Finally, the band were formed because of Vince and Fletch.

Bring back Vince like this, too, just one more time.

Ach das ist so schön, so schade das Alan ausgestiegen ist. Er war eine Bereicherung für diese grandiose Band.

See the smile on Martin Gore's face. I would also smile, if an angel walked on stage with me for one track :o) Though I am not sure I would dare to lay my arm around the angel :o) It must have been really difficult to continue the concert without Alan. What a vacuum to clear in front of the audience.!!
