Alan Wilder & Martin Gore's Hug After Recoil Gig 10.24.2010

Galaxy Theater - Santa Ana, CA 10/24/2010. Arrived just in time to record this special moment.

Glad to see Martin and Alan hugging each other and making amends, I know their relationship was on the rocks during the last few years of Alan's tenure with the band.

Martin is a very shy guy, and in this clip, he was probably with his own security guard, surrounded by people paying more attention to him than to Alan. But for those who thought he was gonna ignore Alan, consider this: he was at Alan's gig, so it's not like he didn't care about him anymore. He's not a very affectionate guy. I've noticed from his interactions with Dave on stage, and with the band in general, that he's more comfortable with handshakes and high-fives, and he doesn't like people making a fuss over him.

Even if there are no more reunions in the works, seeing this is enough for me:)

[revacohen]

@Vebinz You're right. And the fact that Martin attended's one of Alan's concerts showed he was obviously at peace with Alan's departure.

[nihonam]

I want him just to produce some songs, maybe an album of DM... Not reunion if he doesn't want.

This is heart warming! :) Just stumbled on this clip. Been a hardcore DM fan since 1983.

@JezabelGore
I was very pleased to see them hug. Just the fact that Martin decided to dj after Alan's performance was a great accomplishment for their friendship.

Ultraviolator- Thanks so very very much for posting this! I just got a facebook notification of the posting. After meeting Alan in San Diego Saturday afternoon at the San Diego record store meet and greet he asked if I was coming to the Santa Ana show, I told him I already had tix for the San Diego and Santa Ana performances that's me in the video getting the photo taken with Alan and Martin. Truly Amazing! Thanks jen in san diego!

... and Dave's singing A Question Of Time in the background?

[monikakozlakiewicz]

If I saw it properly... Martin wanted to just shake hands with Alan.

[trancerelife]

Me too, but it's up to him. Even if DM are gladly ready to welcome him back (let's just say they are), it's up to Alan :).

[ShelleShelleKitty]

@ultraviolator thanks for answering back. And thanks again for sharing this great moment with all of us!!

[dertberd]

I'm in this!!! How rad is that!!! What an experience it was to see them together again!

[jadez]

2 Amazing Talents! Come back to DM Alan!!!

[revacohen]

I find it surprising to find the two embracing. They never had much of a relationship. And Martin and Andy seemed to badmouth him when he left.

[dertberd]

I'm still reeling from this event! (That's my blonde head boppin around in the back)

[Kickingit]

This is just the diplomatic side. The three remaining members of DM are making a huge fortune off of Alan Wilder's work. It's a disgrace that they haven't invited him back into the fold.

[JezabelGore]

@ultraviolator I agree! After so many years spent wondering whether they could still be in good terms, the fact that lately they have been collaborating so much is everything a fan could hope for!

[merjahyttinen]

so nice to see this video, I love this so

[Zenon]

Damn I wish Alan would come back to DM
