Depeche Mode – Stripped (Live from 101) HD

Depeche Mode – Stripped
Live from Music For The Masses Tour; 101: A Concert for the Masses at Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA, 18th June 1988


Disclaimer: there are very minor syncing issues from around 00:48 to 02:59. I will fix this and update the master recording in the future.


This upload marks the 35th anniversary of the concert featured in '101'.

Alan Wilder is credited for coming up with the name '101'. The show was the final—and 101st—night of the 'Music For The Masses Tour', and was also situated in Pasadena, where the nearby highway was coincidentally 'U.S. Route 101'.

The full film was directed by D. A. Pennebaker as a rockumentary about the band's final leg of the tour supporting the album release 'Music For The Masses' (1987).

The concert had sold 66,233 tickets, and had an attendance of 60,452 people. In interviews, Depeche Mode have acknowledged the performance as a key moment in their career. And it has been understood that the concert was also a milestone in the development of alternative music.


Song line-up:

Andrew Fletcher – Keyboards (saw bass, sound effects)

Lyrics:

Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me see you stripped down to the bone, oh yeah

Yea-oh
Hey

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me see you stripped down to the bone, oh yeah
Let me hear you make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking just for me, yeah

Let me see you stripped down to the bone
(Let me hear you speaking just for me)
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
(Let me hear you crying just for me)
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
(Let me hear you speaking just for me)
Let me see you stripped down to the bone, yeah, woah
(Let me hear you crying just for me)
