For those saying "Why the hell are people singing along ruining it" type comments. I was there. This was an EXTREMELY rare chance to see Martin perform solo. I was singing just as loud as the rest. It was an amazing night. This was a small show, which is why the audience comes through so loud. 1500 people is a small venue, so it's kind of hard ignoring the audience singing... :D
This was the original arrangement he wanted for the song, too. But engineer/producer for the Violator album, Flood (well known producer; it's a pseudonym) convinced him to give the song like a kind of disco or up-tempo beat, and Martin eventually relented when everyone else loved that version (but he didn't, and probably still isn't a big fan of the album version to this day; who knows). I prefer the album version -- plus I think the video Anton Corbijn did for the song is probably the best music video of all time. I love the over-saturation of colors and the added red, green or blue hue, depending on the shot; makes it look like a story book or something. Very, very well done video.
And then...he autographed my jacket with a silver sharpie and I have never seen pictures of Martin so damn intrigued/excited, and loved his commentary on how dodgy my leather jacket's texture is...I am in the process of making a video of my many MLG 2012 meet and greet experience. Martin should win SO MANY more awards...at the very least, give them a hollywood star...
Just beautiful....& the audience singing along, adds to the passion in which Martin delivers this song. Thanks be to the universe for gifting us with Depeche Mode. I am grateful to have lived their entire music history & can never get enough....
I just heard Martin's home demo version of Enjoy The Silence today. It was very moving, very tender, and very stripped down.. Just young Martin on the harmonium with his haunting, beautiful voice.
both versions are perfect. each interpretation has powerful moments and I can't decide which one is better. this original version is very similar to tori amos's cover.
As I understand the genesis of the official DM version of Enjoy the Silence, Martin had written it as a simple ballad and initially resisted Alan Wilder and Daniel Miller suggesting putting a beat to it. Watch Flood's videos about this. In the midst of the engineering, Martin comes up with the melody very quickly, again pushed to play it on the guitar (instead of the synth) and it pulls it all together brilliantly. Having said this, I always wanted to hear what Martin originally wanted and this has to be it. Just imagine, this is a video of the ONLY TIME he played it! Martin L. Gore is a world class extraordinary musician, visionary composer and also a giving and collaborative band member. A class act!
Heard this first in the 80’s when I was at secondary school, use to just sing along in the playground , bought the single from Woolworths . Now when I hear it words are so exact & meaningful 😘
I have always been wondering if Enjoy The Silence would have become such a hit had Martin his way and kept it a ballad. I do not think so. The genius of Alan Wilder decided to make it an uptempo song. And the rest is history.
When you watch Alan or Flood being interviewed about ETS, they say that they heard its potential to rhythmically sounds like PTS songs. It’s interesting how they explain the layering of the sounds till the Martin’s famous riff comes to perfect the song. Without Martin’s decision to change from synth to guitar, I doubt that ETS would have become such a iconic song. I found that simplifying the working process is a pity.
@@B1GDINO Most successful song of Playing the angel: Precious. Most successful song of Sound of the universe: Wrong. Most successful song of Delta Machine: Heaven. Most successful songs of Spirit: Where's the Revolution and Going Backwards. Most successful song of Momento Mori: Ghosts again.
Martin, my username says it all. You move me each time I hear your music. I can't express how much you have meant to me, throughout my teens, and now as a young adult I feel the same way.
Macro, thats my favorite song on Playing the Angel. Its lyrics and music are so powerful, with that deep meaning that is ever so present in Martin's songs. "Whispering cosmos right there before me unlimited, endless God breathing through me."
I love his speech, with his patented scared look, concludes with: um well anyway thanks to Daniel Miller who im known for 20 something years like that...HAHA. MARTIN IS SO DOWN TO EARTH. He was actually pleased to meet me and my boyfriend in Santa Barbara last december. He chuckled because I froze up after he held out his hand to shake...I had just told him I think his work is GENIUS, and he was instantly always my fav band member since I first saw/heard them. I WISH he would do more SOLO
omg i was there!!! for the first night!! was so magical.i was so broke but sum1 sold me a cheap tik n i got in :D i lived at job corps which was just a building away and got to hear him singing the 2nd night from my room on the 12th floor of the building
@riveratrackrunner The Enjoy the Silence single has a shortened version of the song with Martin singing it. It's track 8 and it's subtitled [Harmonium]. It's quite good. I'm glad Dave did the version that they put on the album, but it's awesome to hear Martin sing it too.
Honestly when I hear the song (whatever version) I just become quiet, I got thrills, I'm so relaxed, I don't talk for hours, I'm so peaceful, everything seems so peaceful it's just wonderful But if I get to see them live, apart for crying during the entire show because I'm too fucking happy, I'll totally scream when the song comes out seriously :') I love the song being my only room of full peace, but I'd get crazy like everyone else when I'd get to see them live, gotta be honest :') And I'm pretty sure a lot of people in the crowd is the same as me XD
@MsFuturestar1 Wow, it feels like yesterday since I first heard this song... truly amazing how it's stood the test of time. How does he do it? Great to see so many people on here loving DM.

There's nothing more spine-tingling than being in an audience whilst you are all singing a much loved song back.
Thank you Martin for giving this great song to the world.
This man have so much talent, truly one of the greatest composers of our times !
Martin Gore is a f**king genius.
The Master sing his MASTERPICE! THX 4 all your great SONGS Martin. Enjoy the silence...

you wrong. this version not exactly he wanted
the GENIUS behind
Depeche mode
The Genius uso Alan Wilder and martin gore
@@arturo1015I agree.
Dave's got the spark on stage, but Martin is the holy enigma of the group. Songwriter and singer and everything in between. I love you Martin.
You are gay ?
@@sorayaanita8552 No but why does that matter to you?
"Holy Enigma"
Bien definido "holy enigma",es lo oculto,lo.mlsterioso,y despierta curiosidad.
@@sorayaanita8552 Y qué con eso?
Обожаю эту песню, особенно в исполнении Мартина. С "Enjoy the silence" началась моя любовь к "Depeche Mode" в далёком 1990 году. 😘💕🎶
The way crowd screamed and sang with him... it's so amazing.
Very annoying more like
Martin's performance truly touches me. He gives me hope that caring and passion exist.

Perfectas ambas!!!
Y cómo no,si el autor es Mr.Martin Lee God o Good o Gold o Gore!!!
proves how versatile this song is.. it stands on its own so well that no matter how it is adorned it will shine
Never enough of this song, this version is unforgetable...so real, so feelfull
Wow, I love this version of the song, simply piano and a voice :)))
It's just so much magical and shows what a great song this is :)))
no one can sing this song like Martin Gore .Low bow and gratitude😍😘
My God Martin is ao beautiful! Voice, eyes, lips, his smile and his lyrics are to die for! He has got to be an angel, i adore you Martin ❤

There was a lot of love in that room that night! :) :)
He's never completed with Dave on vocals, always brings his own incredible take to anything he sings, ADORE Martin!!
I'm so proud of him, gosh.
Heard this first in the 80’s when I was at secondary school, use to just sing along in the playground , bought the single from Woolworths . Now when I hear it words are so exact & meaningful 😘
Actually it went out in 1990
This is just beautiful. I love how the whole audience sings every word along, like a huge choir. I
L' opera d'arte che ritorna per un attimo al suo creatore con il pubblico in estasi. Questo video è meraviglioso.
Both versions are perfect!
There shall be no silence when this song is sung ....🤔🥰🥰
I love this man so much.
My musical hero!!!
Martin Gore's voice is unique!
awesome. Thanks so much for posting that.
I have always been wondering if Enjoy The Silence would have become such a hit had Martin his way and kept it a ballad. I do not think so. The genius of Alan Wilder decided to make it an uptempo song. And the rest is history.
It was Flood’s decision to make it uptempo.
Exactly. And there are still people out there claiming that Alan Wilder would have been rather unimportant... They don't have a clue in my opinion.
Not true, it was Alan idea even in an interview Flood tell that.
When you watch Alan or Flood being interviewed about ETS, they say that they heard its potential to rhythmically sounds like PTS songs. It’s interesting how they explain the layering of the sounds till the Martin’s famous riff comes to perfect the song. Without Martin’s decision to change from synth to guitar, I doubt that ETS would have become such a iconic song. I found that simplifying the working process is a pity.
Wilder / Flood
Martin Gore is the real King from Depeche Mode.The Songs are his work.I LOVE HIM!!!❤🎶
You are right but the voice is only Dave Gahan and the DM sound is Alan Wilder.
It's incredible Dave is writing better songs than Martin now.
@@B1GDINO no, he isn't and even if he could Martin is out of reach
@@alexvalex380 hard to believe isn't it?

Thank you Alan!
One of those loud singers was me! What a great show. I wish i could go back in time and experience it again!
Marty is a greate song smith, nice to here him sing this song, thanks for posting it
dude. thats what live shows are about.
the celebration of a song.
Martin, my username says it all. You move me each time I hear your music. I can't express how much you have meant to me, throughout my teens, and now as a young adult I feel the same way.
I just suscribed to your channel if you could please watch the version on martin gore songs Im performing in my channel
Enjoy the Silence Harmonium. One of my favourite versions.
Martín Gore! soy fan de Depeche Mode y en especial de tu forma de cantar!

It's great to hear the crowd singing like one voice...
Hauntingly beautiful.

He looks as a member of The Cure, here, the song also is in a similar fashion performed.
I love this version.
Волшебно)
THANKS A LOT!!!!
Excellent Martin gore
Love this as it's a concert and people are supposed to sing along.
so beautiful
... and also one of the best song writer.
Before smartphones and social media when people used to really enjoy the concerts.....
He's a picture perfect Edward Scissorhands with a musical genius.
Fué una época de pelo planchado,no muy favorecedor x cierto.Sólo que él es quien es,y le va cualquier "quincho".Adoro MG,ángel bonito!
truly an icon song and an icon composer of our generation

Авторский вариант мегахита в исполнении Мартина, для настоящих ценителей творчества. Доработанный Аланом вариант - для мировой славы.
Wonderful voice :) ;)
AMAZING!!!!!!!! I LOOOVE MARTIN!!!

he could sing anything, he can increase the quality of any song! golden martin...
I love it how the crowd sings along. Well, we always do, don't we? ;-)
Brilliant.
色々と勝手なイメージを持っていましたが…改めて尊敬の念が深まりました。生きる指針にさせて頂きます。

Oh he sings a quiet ballad.. time to start sCREECHING
Honestly when I hear the song (whatever version) I just become quiet, I got thrills, I'm so relaxed, I don't talk for hours, I'm so peaceful, everything seems so peaceful it's just wonderful
But if I get to see them live, apart for crying during the entire show because I'm too fucking happy, I'll totally scream when the song comes out seriously :')
I love the song being my only room of full peace, but I'd get crazy like everyone else when I'd get to see them live, gotta be honest :')
And I'm pretty sure a lot of people in the crowd is the same as me XD
martin your amazing
GENIUS!!
❤️Crazy hair Martin 🙂
@MsFuturestar1 Wow, it feels like yesterday since I first heard this song... truly amazing how it's stood the test of time. How does he do it? Great to see so many people on here loving DM.
