RIP Fletch. Depeche were a big part of my youth and one of the reasons I got into this.

Here's a cool video of Depeche Mode during their "Delta Machine" sessions. In the video they are taking a break to perform the song "Broken" from the album. Even though I think Depeche Mode never really recovered from the loss of Alan Wilder, Delta Machine is one of my favorite post-Wilder albums.

It's awesome to see Fletch rocking the MS-20 in the video. The other keyboard player has what looks like a MonoPoly (sensing a Korg theme here) and maybe (?) a Jupiter 8 along with a wicked cool Teenage Engineering gadget for good measure.

Good times.

Here's another video, this one documenting the concert preparations for the Berlin leg of the band's Delta Machine tour. There is a lot of Fletch footage in this one.
