Revision as of 13:44, 1 March 2023

Depeche Mode performed a "secret" 30-minute concert at Alte Kongresshalle for 400 fans who won a radio contest.[1] There was also a 30-minute interview with Dave and Martin after the concert, conducted by Marcus Fahn.

Fans were reportedly unable to bring smartphones to the concert. Despite this, a poor quality audience recording surfaced following the concert. Portions of 'Ghosts Again' and 'Personal Jesus' were broadcast by Bayern 1 Radio on 20 February 2023,[2] and on 23 February 2023, 'Precious', 'Personal Jesus', and 'Ghosts Again' were available for on-demand streaming on Bayern 1's "Live & Unplugged" program, unfortunately with an interviewee speaking over the beginning of 'Personal Jesus'.[3]

Both 'Wagging Tongue' and 'My Favourite Stranger' had to be restarted.

Interview

An anonymous fan recorded this event using a GoPro Hero in his jacket pocket. The music recording came out heavily distorted with crackling sounds throughout, and unfortunately is unusable as a result - however, the quality approximately matches Source 2.

However, the interview with Marcus Fahn following the concert was also recorded, and is listenable, though somewhat muffled. The audio was recorded as dual-mono 128kbps AAC. The audio was adjusted to some extent in Audacity for better listening: bass cut, noise reduction -6dB to try to reduce some hiss without introducing horrendous artifacts, "level speech" Nyquist plugin at 80% leveling amount, normalized to -0.1dB and any DC offset removed, exported to FLAC 16/48, and finally re-encoded to M4A 128kbps for streaming on the wiki.

The first 5 minutes and 30 seconds consist of an introduction by Marcus Fahn and is in German. The remainder of the interview with Dave & Martin is in English.

Listen to the interview audio:
