I hitched hiked 120 miles from Birmingham to see this concert. I got there at 5 am and watched them build the stage. Had breakfast with some Sister Of Mercy fans and got sunstroke falling asleep in my black jeans and leather jacket! Just thought i'd share that with you! By far, the best concert I have ever been to and still devoted!
What a day,it was the best.Our car broke down on the way and took ages to get across london,but the best gig of my life,i remember the full moon that night that hung over the stage and still have my ticket and the radio 1 broadcast on tape...bring back these days,thank you so much for this memory.
"I surrender all control To the desire that consumes me whole Leads me by the hand to infinity Lies in wait at the heart of me Moved, lifted higher Moved, my soul's on fire Moved, by a higher love" Best description ever (music + lyrics) of a mystic experience.
For me this will always be it. The pinnacle, the power, and the sound, and the look, and the feel, and the amazing Fab Four known as DM. Not just another electronic band, but the leader of synth stardom. Right musician, right song writer, right vocal medium to deliver it, and Fletch, well, "he just kinda bums around." LOL.
Monumental Gig one I shall never ever forget ~~~ and once again with Tour of the Universe Sunday, December 13th, 2009 Bham LG, they repeated the feeling I got on that night. Amazing Band never fail to deliver
I can't believe the people I were with at the time left this concert during this song (I was 17 they were older).... we went for Sisters of Mercy and at the time I didn't know much about DM.... fast forward to 2010 and DM got me and my husband talking... I've since seen them Live 4 times and absolutely adore them. I think it was fate for me not to love this group until I'd met my true love....
omg i was right at the front when this was shot, i never had a piss for 6 hours but my god ws it the best ive DM, they should do mre out door concerts DM rules
Dave's voice is just perfect for Depeche Mode's songs, the lyrics are so fitting for his baritone voice. And you'll often see the more delicate songs being sung by Martin, I just think its great.
man, i would die to have had the oppertunity to be in this show to hear higher love. I've just been to the sound of the universe tour in Tel Aviv and Depeche Mode are still rocking. best band ever.
i was there right at the front, never got a chance to have a piss, but he was like god, martin was having a strop because the ice machine wasnt workin, but still great!
Got it thanx. I wonder why they did it outdoors? It kinda lost the effect. The show I went to was indoors so it was nice and dark with the thunder and lightening like on 'Devotional'. What a night!
@MyRocket10 Me too mate :-) What were the other two support acts, Manxman and somebody else. I bought a Manxman cd single called "ship ahoy" a couple of years later just on the strength of recognising the name.
Because with it being an Outdoor show and not being able to start later they started while the sun was still up. Outdoor Shows have stronger Curfew Times.
When u upload u get 100meg only my friend, its bad enough changing the format and losing the bit of quality u have. Hope this explains it a little. Marky
What the hell with the curtains? I'd be pissed off since you can't see jack shit. Anyway, Higher Love is just one of those songs that sounds freakin' AWESOME love. All the ambient echoes and stuff really work well in stadiums and gives the song an even more dream-like quality than the studio recording.
No hay duda de que Gore es el alma de DM. Sin embargo, tampoco hay duda de que la calidad de la produccion de los discos ha empeorado desde que se marcho Alan. Decir que no es necesario la presencia de Alan es como decir que no es necesario que cante Dave. Quizas tengas razon pero prefiero el grupo con Alan. Fin del cuento. Tienes derecho a tus opiniones pero simplemente no estoy de acuerdo contigo.

Getting goosebumps watching this now. 31 years later.

Encantador tu recuerdo!Qué felicidad!
"I surrender all control
To the desire that consumes me whole
Leads me by the hand to infinity
Lies in wait at the heart of me
Moved, lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love"

And I will never forget this day I 'discovered' this song.

Best DM song in my book, I love all of their songs but this one stands out
Even after hearing it tons of times it still gets me shivers
When that choir pad comes in at the beginning. Jesus

Great song and good video.
Higher Love, you can say that again!!I love you DM..FOREVER!!

I was there, Sisters of Mercy fans kicked the shit out of us but it was worth the fight to take the night.
i was there right at the front, never got a chance to have a piss, but he was like god, martin was having a strop because the ice machine wasnt workin, but still great!
I wish I was there
Moved by a HIGHER LOVE ... Depeche Mode !
Got it thanx. I wonder why they did it outdoors? It kinda lost the effect. The show I went to was indoors so it was nice and dark with the thunder and lightening like on 'Devotional'. What a night!
the drape and shadow effects didnt work for a daylight out door show as it does inside .
i love you dave
The highest!!! :)
check out the Devotional DVD - truly Depeche Mode at their absolute peak - songs, production and live

la mejor gira d los Depeche fue esta sin duda,esta claro q el toque de Alan Wilder se echa de menos
😍
I agree.
lol none of the audio is from the released dvd, its all sound board. The editing might of lead you to believe that.
que temazo... me chifla
Excellent video!!!! But as a Devotee, don't mix your visual with the released audio-
(or vice versa!)

Was at this show. Lamest crowd ever

WHY ARE THEY HIDIN BEHIND CURTAINS?
Why did you cut off the beginning with the thunder??
Ma non si vedono.
DM not watched?
