What happens

The World We Live In and Live in Hamburg is the first video release by Depeche Mode, featuring almost an entire concert from their 1984 Some Great Reward Tour, at the Alsterdorfer Sporthalle in Hamburg, West Germany on 14 December 1984. Directed by Clive Richardson, and released by Virgin Records, the name is a play on a lyric of the song "Somebody" (She will listen to me, when I want to speak about the world we live in and life in general...). Released on VHS, Betamax and LaserDisc by Virgin Records in 1985, the track listing was shortened on US releases from its counterparts in Japan and the UK. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
