Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again (Live at Rose Bowl, Pasadena, 1988)
Video Sources: 101 film & PAL VHS Tape (Filmed by Rose Bowl Crew) - • Depeche Mode - 101 Archives (18 June 1988) • Depeche Mode - The Concert For The Masses,... Audio Source: 101 While the "101" film does not feature the full concert (Pennebaker "did not film the full show"), we have located a tape of the closed circuit feed of the historic Rose Bowl show. This is the feed that was displayed on the large screens on the sides of the stage. The video featured here was recorded "live to tape". All "effects", camera changes, and video flaws were recorded in a raw, "one take" mix. For such a historic document, we don't think the occasional flaw will distract from the performances. Split Mix Lyrics I'm taking a ride with my best friend I hope he never lets me down again He knows where he's taking me Taking me where I want to be I'm taking a ride with my best friend We're flying high We're watching the world pass us by Never want to come down Never want to put my feet back down on the ground I'm taking a ride with my best friend I hope he never lets me down again Promises me I'm as safe as houses As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers I hope he never lets me down again We're flying high We're watching the world pass us by Never want to come down Never want to put my feet back down on the ground We're flying high We're watching the world pass us by Never want to come down Never want to put my feet back down on the ground Never let me down Never let me down Never let me down Never let me down See the stars, they're shining bright (Never let me down) Everything's all right tonight (Never let me down) See the stars, they're shining bright (Never let me down) Everything's all right tonight (Never let me down) See the stars, they're shining bright (Never let me down) Everything's all right tonight (Never let me down) See the stars, they're shining bright (Never let me down) Everything's all right tonight (Never let me down) For the 101st show of the Music For The Masses Tour, the band played a special stadium show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of KROQ FM (a long time supporter of the band), the all-day concert featured Wire, Thomas Dolby and O.M.D. as the opening acts. Pulled from some very rare video source, we present a small look back at the day of June 18th, 1988. "Good evening, Pasadena!" Thanks to our friends at the DM TV Archives for letting us use some of their clips. #DepecheMode #NeverLetMeDownAgain #101 #MusicForTheMasses #MusicForTheMassesTour #AlanWilder #DaveGahan #MartinGore #AndrewFletcher
