if you wake up one day without remembering anything from your former life, nothing at all, just Depeche Mode, then you know they did their job. Best band in the world. PERIOD.

22 year old loving Depeche Mode, I'm almost 70 and crank DP on my blue ray player to the max just to remember how great the 80's were and how they still are #1.

I went yesterday. Didn´t expect much. Had tears in my eyes all thru the movie. Brilliant, unlike their recent album outputs. Anton is a genius. And the live performance was great. I could relate to the guy from Romania. I grew up in Czechoslovakia and my life changed in the fall of 1988 when a classmate lent me a tape with Black Celebration. In November 1990 I went to Berlin. Lied to my parents who wouldn´t have let me go. I had no money. Waited for a miracle in a freezing cold and then at 7:45pm I see their tour manager (Andy Franks) whom I had known from 101. Started shouting at him, told him there were people from Czechoslovakia. He just asked, how were there fans from my country. 13, sir, I say. "Ok, gimme 5 minutes." Mr. Franks came back in 5 with 13 backstage passes. Years later I met him in Prague when he was touring with another artist. Can´t remember who they were. I was working for Warners then. And finally I thanked him for those 13 passes. My Mom told last night that she was so worried back in 1990. My father asked why and she told him, "he went to Berlin to see Depeche Mode". My Dad was furious, I will kill him, I will kill him. When I came back he suddenly felt proud and said, "well, that bastard must have some balls after all, he´s not gonna get lost in this world". Being 16 I was so stupid though. I travelled to Berlin by train. Bought one way ticket thinking I was going to buy a ticket home in Berlin. The problem was, the same ticket was 30 times more expensive in Berlin than in Prague. Spent the night after the gig in a basement of an appartment building in Berlin. Among garbage. Had to walk for hours to where the highway way. Berlin is fucking large. Then, I got lucky. This black guy was driving from Hamburg to Prague. When he picked me up, he had just drunk his 7th can of beer. We talked for about 10 minutes and then I fell asleep, coz I was so tired. No idea, how we got through the border. Suddenly, he wakes me up, we were in Prague. I looked around and asked him, how many beers have you had? Only 15 cans, this black says. Oh well, I guess that´s alright then. Came home exhausted and my Mom asked, so how were your "Gods"? I said, I was at Martin´s parents in the mountain. Martin being a friend. But my Mom grinned and said, I had known for weeks you were going to go Berlin. Moms know. Dads don´t.

Man, Im in tears. At 50 years old, I was there in the beginning as a teen with the pure magic of the "Speak & Spell" album. I saved my money from my first job at 17 and bought a Roland Juno-106 synthesizer because of this band. My heros

[darioperes]

Amazing band!! Rest in peace, Fletcher!!! The world is on your eyes!

Depeche Mode has been in my life since I was 13. Growing up in the late 80s in the Bronx -where the birth place of hip hop, salsa and freestyle is known. Cable wasn't prevalent yet so there was video music box, channel U, Friday night videos and hot trax. My intro to DM was Some Great Reward, then Music for the Masses and I saved my lunch money to go to the local record shop or get on the 6 train to 34 St at Record Explosion and bought everything I could get my hands on from DM, which I still have today. Being a Puerto Rican new wave, neo-goth, and Brit Pop listener was a unique niche thing to be in the Boogie Down BX.
Anyway, it was in 1990, at Giant Stadium I saw them live for Violator. NiN and Nitzer Ebb opened. Depeche Mode's music had been woven into my life at the happiest and heart breaking moments. It continues on my digital playlist and still find it funny when younger co-workers or folks ask what am I playing and some get hooked. DM is my medicine to sustain me in my native complex city like NYC.

My 40th Birthday Present...thanks DM for decades of the best music the world has seen!!!

[VaderRS]

I am 51 now and my first concert was DM 1986 in Hamburg, I will never forget that!!!!

[Graham]

OMG. Got the last ticket at Killarney mall. Didn't even know that this was happening until I saw it on a download music app an hour ago. DM have been part of my life since I was 13 years old. Now at 49 this will be the greatest thing I will ever experience. Won't tell the wife that statement. Music from the greatest band ever. To us all die hard DM fans. Long will we all remember this great event around the world together. Depeche mode forever.

[uneedtherapy]

Fan since about 1987.... the love just never ends... can't explain why I love this band still... Black Celebration is a masterpiece.... Long Live DM

[agnis.official]

Can't wait to watch it together with my co-fans friends!!!

[wisemanspoke]

I grew up with DM and still growing. Thank you DM for amazing years, songs, lyrics & how they make me feel❤️

I remember being so excited to turn 15 so I could play Little 15 over and over and annoy my family. Naive, innocent teenager me didn't understand the complexities of that song. Now that I'm almost 47 and "when things run smooth it's already more than enough, " Little 15 sometimes punches me in the emotions so hard I cry. I'm so amazed at how many lives Depeche Mode have touched, changed, and maybe even saved.

[lilithUdie]

I just watched it and it's amazing. It's fantastic that in the end it's not exactly about the band but it's about PEOPLE and the power of music. Loved it.

[natree]

So lovely to see that finally the UK is supporting (one of) their best band. About bloody time too. I had over 30 cinemas to choose from in my little corner of the kingdom. I can't wait!!

[xcesarbautistax]

Depeche mode has a song for every moment in our lives, songs of love and pain, sadness and happiness, break ups and new opportunities, thank you DM.
