PRP 007 Mini-Broadcast: Episode 10 – The Man with the Golden Gun (With Robbie Sims)
Permanent Record Podcast
PRP 007 Mini-Broadcast: Episode 10 – The Man with the Golden Gun (With Robbie Sims) This is a rarity as far as Permanent Record Podcast episodes go. Yes, it's an episode with show notes penned by Brian and not Sarah. Sarah has one job once the episode has been recorded: to write the show notes. But this time, she was nowhere to be found and everyone's second-favorite host, who already does so much, was left holding the bag! I guess I'll start with the stuff that is ALWAYS part of these 007 episodes..... Since the beginning of the show, Brian has done his best...

And to make the episode even bigger and more special,...

info_outlineEpisode 194: Depeche Mode: Home Video Concert Releases (Part 2)
Brian and Sarah’s mini-series on Depeche Mode’s home video concert releases continues in this episode. Unlike the previous episode, which covered two movies, Depeche Mode: One Night in Paris – The Exciter Tour 2001 is the only release discussed here.
However, before getting into the discussion of that concert, Brian and Sarah spend a little time talking about their adventures on opening day of the latest DM concert movie, Depeche Mode: M. They don't go into details about their movie experience just yet, though; these stories are about the people, places and things they enjoyed before the movie.
After that sidebar, the discussion about Depeche Mode: One Night in Paris begins. There are eight years between the previous concert video (Devotional) and this one, and as DM fans know very well, a lot transpired for the band during those eight years. As of this concert, Dave Gahan is now clean and sober, and Alan Wilder has moved on from the band. Peter Gordeno and Christian Eigner appear on keyboards and drums, respectively, and of course founding members Martin Gore and Andy “Fletch” Fletcher are still around and join Dave on stage.
Longtime Depeche Mode collaborator Anton Corbijn directs this film, as well as providing background video footage shown during the concert. Brian and Sarah talk about his approach to filming and editing this show, as they answer the same ten questions for One Night in Paris as they did for …Live in Hamburg and Devotional.
In case you don’t know or don’t remember, a few of the other topics covered in the questionnaire are “Song to watch on repeat;” “Song to skip next time,” and “Who wore it best? Favorite onstage garb.” Of course, Brian and Sarah go off on tangents and discuss plenty of other things too!
Join them on this trip back to Paris in October 2001 and relive some exciting Exciter moments!
