Martin Gore in Bong issue no. 37 , 1998:

If I really had to stick my neck out and choose my all time favourite song, it would probably be "Walking In My Shoes". I think it has a great melody—the words and the subject matter really complement each other perfectly. The instrumentation is also interesting.

As part of a programme of talks and films at the Mute Short Circuit event in May 2011, producer Flood delivered a presentation discussing the production of several Depeche Mode tracks, including "Walking In My Shoes":

[If] I'm being honest, the track that I was most disappointed by—I mean, I say "most disappointed"—but it was "Walking In My Shoes", because I never felt that the recorded version lived up to the way I imagined the song could be. I know I'm probably the only person in the universe who thinks like that, but I felt that the original demo—the potential wasn't realized, so. [1]

Q&A from Alan Wilder's Shunt :

Xavi Martí: I'm fascinated with the darker-pretty-magical-elegant-emotive-cleanest-perfect sound of the DM song 'Walking In My Shoes'. What was the process you used to construct this song? A: It was constructed using an unusual method for us, i.e. jamming together. Martin played the guitar, I played bass and we ran a rhythm machine—this was just to get the basic feel for the track—and after much trial and error, the chorus bass line and guitar pattern fell into place. From that point onwards, Flood and I began to construct the various drum loops, the string arrangements, the main riff (which combined a piano and harpsichord through a distorted guitar amp) and all the other bits and pieces. By contrast, the bass line for the verses was much more problematic and in fact didn't get written until the very last moment.

Alan Wilder said in the May 1993 issue of Keyboard magazine:

"The piano part at the beginning of 'Walking In My Shoes' was put through a guitar processor, which distorted it and made it more edgy. We added a harpsichord sample on top of that."

I would tell you about the things they put me through

The pain I've been subjected to

But the Lord himself would blush

The countless feasts laid at my feet

Forbidden fruits for me to eat

But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon

Decency look down upon

The scapegoat fate's made of me

But I promise now, my judge and jurors

My intentions couldn't have been purer

My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience

Peace of mind after what I've been through

And before we talk of any repentance

Devotional Tour

• View history

The Devotional Tour was a 1993 concert tour by English electronic band Depeche Mode in support of the group's eighth studio album, Songs of Faith and Devotion , which was released in March 1993.

The group continued to promote Songs of Faith and Devotion the following year on the Exotic Tour/Summer Tour '94 , which included an additional North American leg. Q magazine refers to Devotional Tour as "the most debauched rock tour ever".

After a two month break, the tour was extended with a named second leg through which the group (minus Andrew Fletcher, who took a leave of absence and was replaced by tour manager and longtime band associate Daryl Bamonte for thirty-nine of its sixty shows) played to countries and territories they had never previously visited, including South Africa, Australia, East Asia, and South America as well as additional shows in the United States and Canada. The tour began with an eleven-week European leg, which kicked off in Lille, France, in mid-May and culminated in London in late July. In September 1993, the group began a North American leg, which commenced in Quebec City, Canada. The 50-date tour continued until early December, when it wrapped up in Mexico City. Later in the month, the band returned to Europe for a short tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The five date jaunt began in Dublin and ended, once again, in London.

The concerts in Barcelona, Liévin and Frankfurt were filmed, with the compiled footage issued later that year on a video release entitled Devotional . The video was reissued on DVD in 2004. Additionally, a live album entitled Songs of Faith and Devotion Live was released in December 1993. The album was a track-by-track live duplicate of Songs of Faith and Devotion . The release featured recordings from the concert in Liévin, although two of the tracks were recorded in Copenhagen and New Orleans respectively. Certain tracks were also released on the singles Condemnation and In Your Room.

Tour dates [ ]

• The two back-to-back nights at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico are unique in that they are the only two concerts on the Devotional Tour to not feature a support act.
• Later tours would also employ live female backing vocalists whilst expanding their performative responsibilities. These included the 1998 The Singles Tour , which featured Janet Cooke and Jordan Bailey performing synchronized dances in addition to singing back-up. Bailey would reprise her "lead" backing vocalist role for the Exciter Tour in 2001, where she was joined by Georgia Lewis.
• Wilder would state that his endurance as a drummer improved over the course of the tour. As a result, and to maintain consistency with the "rockier" nature of the Exotic Tour set, several songs which had previously relegated percussion parts to tape on the "Devotional" leg of the tour were adjusted to allow Wilder an expanded role behind the drum kit. These songs included "Policy of Truth", "Halo", and "Stripped".

While "Death's Door" was recorded (both audio and video), only the audio is played (out of sequence from the original concert setlist), over the end credits of the film.

The "music video" for the live version of "Condemnation" on the DVD is a different edit of the footage on the main DVD.

Walking in My Shoes

Depeche mode.

About Walking in My Shoes

"Walking in My Shoes" is a song by British electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released on 26 April 1993 as the second single from their eighth studio album, Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993). The song reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart and matched the success of the previous single "I Feel You" on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, where it reached 1. The 7" version of "Walking in My Shoes" is not the same as the one in the Songs of Faith and Devotion album. The sound has been made more noisy and dirty, especially the drums in the verse, and the intro has been shortened. When performed live, elements of the "Grungy Gonads" mix are used in an extended intro and throughout the song. The B-side is "My Joy", the only exclusive B-side from the Songs of Faith and Devotion album, and is a rock track in the vein of "I Feel You" and "Halo". The song was cited by then-member Alan Wilder to be his favourite song from the album together with "In Your Room".   more »

Watch Depeche Mode play final show of ‘Memento Mori’ world tour

The tour consisted of 112 shows and saw them play to 2million people

Depeche Mode have played the final show of their extensive ‘Memento Mori’ tour earlier this week. See footage and the setlist below.

• READ MORE: Depeche Mode interviewed: “Do the best you can – you don’t know if you’re going to be doing it again”

The tour consisted of 112 shows in support of the band’s 15th studio album ‘ Memento Mori ’ and saw them perform to well over 2million fans. This marked their first record and tour since losing longtime bandmate and close friend Andy Fletcher .

Yesterday (April 8), the synth-pop legends wrapped up their massive tour at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany. The show saw them draw on a similar setlist throughout FROM the run, but naturally ended with an emotional climax and farewell from the band.

The setlist for Depeche Mode’s show in Cologne was:

‘My Cosmos Is Mine’ ‘Wagging Tongue’ ‘Walking in My Shoes’ ‘It’s No Good’ ‘Policy of Truth’ ‘In Your Room’ (Zephyr Mix) ‘Everything Counts’ ‘Precious’ ‘My Favourite Stranger’ ‘Strangelove’ (Acoustic; sung by Martin) ‘Somebody’ ‘Ghosts Again’ ‘I Feel You’ ‘A Pain That I’m Used To’ (Jacques Lu Cont Remix) ‘World in My Eyes’ (Dedicated to Andrew Fletcher) ‘Black Celebration’ ‘Stripped’ ‘Behind the Wheel’ ‘Enjoy the Silence’ ‘Waiting for the Night’ (Peter & Christian on keyboards) ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ ‘Never Let Me Down Again’ ‘Personal Jesus’

In  a glowing four-star review of Depeche Mode’s huge show at London’s Twickenham Stadium last summer, NME described the gig as as showing the band “at the top of their game and bonded in fraternity”.

“ Coldplay  might insert LEDs into your gums while  Muse  recreate War Of The Worlds with some balls-out bombast, but there’s an effortless cool to Depeche Mode’s stadium approach,” it read. “The Anton Corbijn stage design is sparse and simple, with just the giant M lettering of the new record and some tastefully simple visuals, leaving everything else down to the songs and personality with no pyro or pratting about.

“They may be demigods to their leather-clad cult, but tonight Depeche Mode have never seemed so human.”

Speaking to NME last year , Depeche Mode members Dave Gahan and Martin Gore opened up about what’s next for them following the end of tour.

“The most important thing is to be putting out good music and that people like it,” said Gore. “Once we finish this tour we’ll take a break, then we’ll see if and when we feel like doing it again. Up until now we always have. You never know, and I’m not saying that in a negative way. We just take each project as it comes.”

Gahan opened up about his compulsion to rejoin the group dispite being so vocal about his frequent reluctance, saying: “That is a good word. It was like that; I was compelled. Just when I thought I was out, they dragged me back in!”

He added: “Losing Fletch made that feeling more real. Everything will come to an end. I don’t know when that is. After Fletch passed and we had to continue I said, ‘Try to enjoy what you’ve got to do here and do the best you can’. You really don’t know if you’re going to be doing it again.”

In other news, the band marked the end of their ‘Memento Mori’ tour by sharing a new music video and huge remix package for ‘People Are Good’.

Depeche mode beenden tour in köln: so war das letzte konzert.

Foto: Daniela Vorndran

Das war’s: Mit ihrem dritten Konzert in Köln beendeten Depeche Mode am Montag in der Lanxess-Arena ihre Welttour. Bei der 112. Show der „Memento Mori World Tour“ gaben Dave Gahan und Martin Gore noch einmal alles.

Es war eine Festspielwoche für die Fans von Depeche Mode. Gleich drei Mal – am Mittwoch , Freitag und schließlich am Montag – trat die Band in der ausverkauften Arena auf, die zu den größten Hallen in Europa zählt. Drei Mal gab es kein Halten mehr auf den Rängen – vor der Bühne sowieso nicht.

In der Setlist gab es am letzten Abend noch einmal einige Veränderungen – große Überraschungen gab es nicht. Viele Fans hatten mit „Photographic“ gerechnet, doch das Stück blieb aus. Stattdessen rückte im Martin-Block an die Stecke von „Home“ der Fan-Liebling „Somebody“.

Zum Abschluss der Tour holten Depeche Mode das Stück „World In My Eyes“ zurück ins Set, mit dem die Band noch einmal dem verstorbenen Andy Fletcher gedachte. „Behind The Wheel“ fiel dafür aber nicht aus dem Programm, sondern wurde wenig später gespielt. Die vollständige Setlist findet ihr weiter unten.

Danke an die Fans

Vor dem Zugabenblock dankten Dave Gahan und Martin Gore in einer kurzen Ansprache der Live-Band, der Crew und den Fans für ihre jahrelangen Unterstützung. Hier findet ihr d ie ganze Ansprache von Dave Gahan im Wortlaut und als Übersetzung .

Nach den letzten Tönen von Personal Jesus war dann endgültig Schluss – die Memento Mori World Tour 2023/2024 ist vorbei. Das obligatorische „See you next time“ von Dave Gahan blieb diesmal aus. Darin sollte man aber nicht allzu viel hineininterpretieren. Die Band plant immer nur in Album-Tour-Zyklen.

Lange Anstehen für Anton Corbijn

Am Nachmittag hatten die Anhänger der Band die Gelegenheit, sich Fotobücher von Depeche-Mode-Fotograf Anton Corbijn signieren zu lassen. Schon eine Stunde vor dem Termin hatte sich eine lange Schlange wartender Fans entlang des Taschen-Stores am Kölner Neumarkt gebildet. Zwei Stunden lang widmete Corbijn Bücher.

In unserer Bildergalerie könnt ihr noch einmal Momente vom ersten Köln-Konzert der Band genießen.

Es war ein schönes Konzert.

... was zum Träumen ....

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rIv8NU5o9WQ&pp=ygUXZGVwZWNoZSBtb2RlIGxpdmUgd2lja2k%3D

ob es die letzte Tour war oder nicht, ist gar nicht mal so wichtig, denn dieses Zittern wird es (ab nun und für immer) bei jeder weiteren Tour oder Aktion unserer Band geben! Den Motor gestartet haben die Jungs ja schon vor vielen, vielen Jahren – aufgetankt und gewartet wird und wurde er durch die regelmäßigen Touren und Alben – aber am Laufen gehalten wurde und wird er von uns Fans weltweit seit Jahrzehnten! Es ist wie eine echte Symbiose…

Und wir können uns als Fans doch sehr glücklich schätzen, dass sie trotz der Schwierigkeiten und Besonderheiten nie hingeworfen oder sich komplett überworfen haben! Auch darauf bin ich als Fan sehr stolz und glücklich darüber, dass sie immer einen Weg für sich und damit auch für uns gefunden haben – wir fühlen uns ja nicht umsonst so mit ihnen derart verbunden!

Nun lassen aber eben auch bei vielen von uns Fans mit den Jahren die Vitalität und Kraft nach. Auch die Gesundheit beutelt uns hier oder dort in all den Jahren doch schon sehr. Daher gehen zumindest mir die Ereignisse der letzten 2 Jahre plus Pandemie schon sehr an das Gemüt. Also lasst uns einfach die Erinnerung an all diese grandiosen Momente behalten und für jeden/jede von uns sind das sicherlich unfassbar viele Dinge, über die wir uns hier auch weiterhin austauschen sollten!

Die schönste Party im vergangenen Jahr hatte ich tatsächlich in den Hansa-Studios nach dem Konzert in Berlin zusammen mit vielen Fans und meiner Familie und alten Freunden und mit „Forced To Mode“ und Dia-Vortrag und und und….diese Dinge kann uns doch keiner mehr nehmen und das ist auch der Stoff, den DM von uns Fans im Gegenzug atmen!

LG an Euch alle

Sehr viel nicht ausgesprochenes …

steckt in Deinen Zeilen @Marcus. Ich hoffe nicht, dass wir uns sorgen müssen?! Ich möchte darüber gar nicht weiter spekulieren, wünsche Dir aber wirklich alles Gute!!

Dein Beitrag hat mir interessanterweise aber meine eigenen Gefühle klarer gemacht. Ich habe am Montag nach dem Konzert auch geheult und das mit der Angst begründet, dass es das wirklich gewesen sein könnte mit DM, dass sie so vielleicht nicht wiederkommen.

Jetzt ist mir aber auch klar geworden, dass vielleicht ich es bin der das Ende setzt. Ich bin jetzt 60. Ich hatte mal drei Brüder, die haben dieses Alter alle nicht erreicht. Diese Tour hatte ich 8 mal Golden Circle oder sogar Early Entry, hab bei jedem Konzert spätestens um 10 Uhr morgens angestanden. Das war so eine geile Zeit mit all den tollen Leuten die das gleiche Ziel, den gleichen Spleen haben, möglichst nah an die Bühne zu kommen um ihre Heroes zu sehen.

Kann ich das mit 64/65 auch noch? Dave und Mart sind da zwar ein gutes Vorbild, aber ich bin nicht Dave.

Ich finde das so unglaublich was die beiden mir, uns geben, seit 42 Jahren. Meine erste Single war ‚„See You“, einer der ersten Songs den Mart (mit 17) geschrieben hat.

Ich kriege das mit der Endlichkeit von allem momentan noch nicht so gepeilt. Das Tourende ist noch frisch, wird schon.

Aber diese Tour so noch mal erleben zu dürfen war echt das Größte. Dafür bin ich echt dankbar!!

Euch allen alles Gute!!

Lasche Kontrollen

Das sehe ich genauso wie du, Rüdiger. Ich war Montag in Köln, es wurde lediglich bei Frauen ein flüchtiger Blick in die Handtasche geworfen, sonst nichts!!! Eine Mitarbeiterin hinter dem „Kontroll“bereich, meinte, von mir auf diese laschen Kontrollen angesprochen, das würde der Veranstalter so vorgeben, keine weiteren Fragen, wir haben nichts aus den Vorfällen in Moskau gelernt ?

Ist denn was passiert? ...

… Nein… In 112 Konzerten nicht. Wozu also die (typisch deutsche) Angst vor der Apokalypse. Ansonsten hilft: einfach nicht hingehen. Oder: direkt in einer „Security“-Firma anfangen und es besser machen. Und am Ende des Konzertes BITTE NICHT mit dem Pkw über die Autobahn nach Hause fahren. Welch Risiko… Huch

Der liebe Gott ist ein DM-Fan!

…und er hätte sich doch vielleicht „People Are Good“ als Zu-Zugabe wünschen können!? ;-)

Gott möchte People are people live hören.

Vorband in Köln

Ich möcht noch ein paar Worte über die Vorband verlieren. Bei den anderen Konzerten in Köln wurde ja schon geschrieben, daß Deeper aus Chicago wie The Cure klingen. Ich wollte das nicht glauben. Aber seit gestern dachte ich an eine Wiederauferstehung. Wenn jetzt noch schwarze Augenkringel und Spinnweben im Haar dazukommen, ist das tatsächlich wie The Cure 2.0. Ich fand die Band ganz gut, viel besser als die Holzhammer und Paukenschläger von Düsseldorf und Frankfurt.

Das stimmt...

… Der Typ klang wie Smith von TC… Aber: ansonsten meines Erachtens eine Vollkatastrophe… Keine Melodie, kaum Rhythmus, alles monoton wie ein Lied in Dauerschleife und musikalisch / instrumentell aus meiner Sicht KEINE Kunst – und somit einer Auftrittes vor einer der besten Banda der Welt nicht würdig.

Fletch freud sich sicher

Fletch hat am Montag sicher von Oben zugeschaut und sich darüber gefreut das die Zwei sich so prima Verstehen und sich mehr als je zuvor schätzen

Einfsch großartig

Ja, das glaube und wünsche ich auch, dass Fletch es aus einer anderen Dimension miterleben konnte. Das Konzert war ein ei Fach großartiges Erlebnis. Ein Punkt weniger auf meiner Bucket List. Danke, Dave, Martin und die anderen Bandmitglieder für diesen einzigartigen Abend. Und bitte nicht aufhören.
