I know this was in L.A., and I am hundreds of miles away from there, but as far as I'm concerned, I think Depeche Mode Day should be an international holiday!
That man in the background with the white t-shirt at 5:07 is Richard Blade, the DJ who made Depeche Mode famous in L.A. back in the early 80s. Let's give this man some credit too.
I had no idea DM were so loved in LA to reach such a recognition. I listen to many different genres of music, Dave Gahan is one of my fav vocalists ever, such an amazing voice and a charismatic performer. DM rules! Greetings from Slovenia.
@@davisanaiz6742 Yeah, I know many people like them, also here in Europe but to declare a day as DM day especially in a city like LA is next level and DM is not even a band from the USA. Amazing. I just don't really get it if that was just for one day only (just Dec.13, 2023) or it means for every Dec.13 in LA from then on.
One of the greatest rock bands of all time. Had the pleasure of attending several of their concerts all over Canada and the USA, Nice guys as well. Rock on
Bravo to Depeche Mode would include Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Alan Wilder, and Andy Fletcher! Alan Wilder was responsible for bringing the music to great heights that still remain today! And especially one must take notice of Alan Wilder's Musical Genius, which is what made Depeche Mode what it is today. Thank you, Alan Wilder, for moving and captivating us with so many great songs that will always remain to have a strong hold on our hearts and souls.
This tribute means the world to me. Depeche Mode was my everything growing up here in LA as a child and young adult-I vividly recall their KROQ moments with Richard Blade. Their music didn't just touch me; it reshaped my artistic landscape. During dark times, their melodies were my saving grace. Congrats to DM and to the city of LA for this incredible tribute! Depeche Mode remains an extraordinary band, and their impact is beyond words. DM rules! 😘🕺🙏☝
Dang the LA airport traffic! Was dropping hubby off and trying to make it to the ceremony in time. Missed it. But, no worries. The show they put on last night at Kia was amazing. Must admit, I cried tears of sadness and joy. DM never lets me down! DM concert goer since 1984, fan since 1981. Yep! My teenaged self would swoon😊 DM Forever❤
A band truly deserving of its day. They have in fact been very underrated. I would’ve loved had Alan wilder remained in the band. Nevertheless they have endured the test of times with countless hits. Thank Depeche Mode 👏👏👏
I miss Alan too. Any DM incarnation is fine by me, more than fine- really. But, the production talent that Alan possesses is/was incredible. It would have been nice to see where his work would have led the group had he remained.
Despite the Sunshine,LA has a dark side and enjoy the melancholy sounds of DM. It’s good to see them laughing and enjoying the honor. LA does love DM because they have a cutting edge EM sound and good songs. Back during 101 they were the hippest coolest sounding band from Britain. They still sound good so it’s great to see them Honored. In the California Sun, it’s December and Graham is wearing a Tshirt! That’s the excellent climate LA has!
Great. Finally. I´ve listened to Depeche Mode since the very beginning. Can't believe Dave is in such good shape since his 1990s shit... And Martin´s Counterfeit LPs are still in my heart...
What a glorious idea! Thanks for the video, it's a wonderful achievement, I don"t know if many bands got rewarded this way, it seems very special (and so deserved for DM!!!)
Love these guys, would be nice to see them on stage on their own for a photo to honour them. Once they were introduced, let THEM have a moment and step to the side.
Exactly! That damn lady wouldn’t let go and just wanted to be in every shot!!! It’s like who cares if you’re an L.A. councilwoman! You’re absolutely NOTHING compared to DEPECHE MODE! Just introduce them and get the hell out of the way porker!!!
Yesterday was my 53rd birthday & I'm from So. Cal. and a fan of Depeche Mode since I was a teen. Pretty cool Depeche Mode Day in L.A. was on my birthday this year. 😃
Felicidades se lo merecen es un honor que bandas como ustedes estén vigentes en este tiempo un honor felicitar desde México a Depeche Mode los Amo y su musica de las mejores ❤❤
How did i not c this ?!! OMG I'm a huge fan since they first came out. I was at the Rose Bowl concert, It was great. Gotta Depeche Mode tattoo....i'm so happy LA recognizes their contribution of great music all rhese years. DM day in LA. !!
For counsel woman Monica rodigas for all the love you gave to Dave and Martin I'm from LA now resigned in Seattle 30 I'm all tears 😭 of love ❤that you had made a DM day mr. Fletcher and mr. Wilder are proud with the love of much love is forever Depeche mode 4 ever amen I'm a loving supportive fan sence day one. Muchas gracious serita and falez Navidad to. Tricia Jones of Seattle WA 😊🎉🎉🎉❤
Exactly this. The whole thing was awkward which is likely why MG kept laughing. You can tell from her intro that she was really talking about herself in those “dark days when it seemed the world was falling apart.” And no respect for Dave Gahan’s personal space, she was pawing all over him at every turn. Depeche Mode is *Amazing* but this was laughable in how it was carried out, because with all the issue LA has (I grew up up in LA, so I say that with love for my hometown), the thing this ‘councilwoman’ focused on was to use her position to get a closeup with Dave and Martin.
Had some crazy nights out with Martin and Fletch back in the day - many of the most insane times were during the Violator tour. One occasion after the second Dodger’s stadium gig in 1990 springs to mind. When we drove up to Hollywood. Club called 70s?
Спасибо мой любимый DM!слушаю тебя с 84года,People Are People, начиная с 1991года был на всех турне,последний в Таллине, все помнят Алана, Винса Кларка, но не помнят Флетча!он с нами! И его не хватает!forever young DM!❤
Depeche Mode held the record for the biggest crowd at the Rose Bowl in concert for several decades, until U2 broke it, and I think Cold Play broke the record again after that.
1983 to 1995. The Alan Wilder years. The definitive Depeche Mode sound for me. Pure genius from the group. Seen them live and was fortunate enough to get 4 autographs back in the 80s. Still not convinced Fletch had any input, musically though.
He didn’t. But I read that his opinion was valued on many decisions on every album. They came to him for advice professionally and personally. He was always their glue to hold them together until they were finally mature enough on their own, even to Spirit. In many interviews he was their orator, almost like a defacto spokesman, even with having Kessler as a manager. He was indeed Martin’s best friend. I think he contributed more than we’ll ever know. I miss Alan too, but as writers and instrumentalists and vocalists Dave and Martin are musically Depeche Mode and if anything happens to either of them, DM is done.

Agreeeeeeeee!!!!

Richard played a part but college radio stations played the major role.

@@MLCrow they are beloved in LA, Chicago, N.Y.

LA loves Depeche Mode! These guys are freaking awesome Fletch Smiling from above!
Congrats DM and also LA for this tribute! Depeche Mode is an extraordinary band! DM rules!😘🕺🙏☝️
I love it each time they get some sort of recognition they truly deserve. Thank you for the video!
Our pleasure!
Depeche Mode forever!
Bring back Alan Wilder.
One of the greatest rock bands of all time. Had the pleasure of attending several of their concerts all over Canada and the USA, Nice guys as well. Rock on
Martin is so humble!! Dave on point! Wonderful! 🎹🌹🕶

Thank you for mentioning Alan.
Alan who?
Don’t forget about Vince Clarke
There wouldn’t have been DM with Vince Clark. Let’s not forget him here. A big respect for Vince having continued his musical journey ever since!
@lizm6399 if you have to ask then you obviously don't know Depeche Mode.
love them :'). Martin seems to have really come out of his shell recently which is so heartwarming to see
Says something about the effect Andy had on him?
@@serlserv yeah, maybe. or it could be that he's closer to dave now that fletch is gone so he feels more comfortable? either way it's definitely new
Right?? So sweet!

Lovely guys!
Really down to Earth! They deserve all the accolades they receive!!👏👏👏👏
Thank you so very much for posting this!
You're very welcome!
Fletch would have Loved this.
Oh, I believe he was there and BEAMNG. Just from the other side.
😢😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😇

Do they always put your feet back on the ground? 😉
I was at the show too 👍
I was there too. So much fun!!!
@@myragarcia9052 is that your real name? Mayra?
I was there too! Danced for 2 hours straight!!!
So proud of our boys!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤❤❤
I became a fan when Black Celebration was released. I am happy to see they are still around making music and reaching younger fans.
I became a DM fan in the black celebration era too. Cheers
What a band. I hope they continue beyond this current tour. I think they will. They are so loved.
A band truly deserving of its day. They have in fact been very underrated. I would’ve loved had Alan wilder remained in the band. Nevertheless they have endured the test of times with countless hits. Thank Depeche Mode 👏👏👏

Martin's laugh. ❤ Dave loves to take his jackets off. ❤ And, my God, their voices... Much love from Athens, Greece.
They are so humble and incredibly huge at the same time: IMMENSE!!!

Your mom is a cool lady! Love it.
It's too bad that city's gone to the poo-poo. Those 101 days ... sigh ....
What a glorious idea! Thanks for the video, it's a wonderful achievement, I don"t know if many bands got rewarded this way, it seems very special (and so deserved for DM!!!)

She couldn’t keep her hands off Dave. Omg that was so inappropriate!! 😂

Me and my wife got to attend their concert in Atlanta, Ga. back on Oct. 15. It was great!
I was there💙🙂✌️
Martin Gore has a lovely unique laugh.... it is the highlight of this video 😊
OMG this made me laugh. Talk about awkward. And the Councilwoman couldn't keep her hands off Dave. Love DM but this was hysterical.

don't act like you wouldn't do the same if you were in her shoes
Amazing - brought a tear to my eye
Well deserved, great 🙂
Had some crazy nights out with Martin and Fletch back in the day - many of the most insane times were during the Violator tour. One occasion after the second Dodger’s stadium gig in 1990 springs to mind. When we drove up to Hollywood. Club called 70s?
Saw them like 6 times live from 84 to 90 in France 🖤🖤🖤
Это великолепно! Мои любимые! ❤❤❤
My Favourite Band in the Whole World I worship Them from the very beginning ❤️
love u depeche mode, best band EVER I LOVE MARTIN
Could have done with the support in the 90's, such an understatement! Thank goodness they made it through for us all to relish.
