Two days later and I am still blown away. A spectacular performance with Dave and Martin in top form. 🖤❤️

[@nancycastellanos3865]

Sure! Yeah!

[@ashleydixon4613]

Same! I saw them in San Antonio and it was the best show I’ve been to in my (almost) 48 years; they were incredible, and the crowd-myself included-am currently trying to figure out how to throw together the $$$ to see them again in Dallas Oct 1! 😂

I saw an interview where Dave said this is his favorite song because he really found his voice on this song.

[@williamlucas1050]

he already said that about leave in silence I guess

[@hartley72]

He really didn`t.@@williamlucas1050

[@ANNASTESIA-s4o]

I understand this.

[@imranrefai4045]

Dave Gahan's voice just gets better with age. Incredible.

[@dizzyupthefool5180]

I love that you love him, as do i, but that is demonstrably not true. Still a worthy performance of this song at this stage of his career.

[@alanarkham143]

I almost got tears in my eyes! Look how happy Dave is singing, reaching those high notes Back in 2001 he couldn't even sing this song, his voice was really damaged Now he can do whatever he wants, and they brought this song back to the set. His voice is better than ever. it sounds just beautiful! I cannot wait to see them live =)

[@laurence.MusicAndSights]

You are damn right as to Dave s voice back in 2001. That is why I could not help crying. Long live to both. From France

[@МихаилМариничев-й1ы]

Totally agree! I wanted to notice a huge difference exactly with 2001 tour but I didn't, however you took me at this!

[@BWT599]

I got the feeling his voice was shot during the San Jose show (+ Never Let Me Down for LA show) and during the talk show press tour while performing Ghosts Again. Am I wrong for the LA show?

They are 2 special creatures😍

[@chewey3rd]

Beautiful song. Dave and Martin are living legends. What a great performance.

[@Mekanos]

This song should be played in EVERY of their concerts, it's purely amazing and I hope that the eventual fourth time I see them live, I will be able to finally see them performing it

[@TedGahan01]

30 years later, Martin still sounds great singing that high note!

[@MoroNoKimi]

Unforgettable night. Still the greatest band of all time.

[@silviamakeupbeauty]

I can’t describe the emotions these two guys make me feel. Legends ❤

[@sunechristofferabel367]

I Was there last night… man they were all in the zone… such an unbelievable night.. they performed like the true legends they are.. man I’m gonna miss last night.. forever✌🏼

[@Love-xl1pi]

Same I was there absolutely amazing!

[@greggwagstaff6688]

Perhaps one of Mart’s best songs and Dave’s best studio vocal. Sounding tight here live!

[@aliwantizu]

I know that a LOT of DM fans don't like this song, and don't like Dave's vocal on it, but it's always been a fave and is the ONLY song I would ever consider performing if I was somehow forced to do Karaoke, lol!

[@DB-np2vg]

​@@aliwantizu Really? I am astonished if folks don't like this amazing song. Thank goodness we don't all like the same stuff. Though I think that I am in a minority as I do rate Exciter as a great album. I guess we each take something personal from the songs that others might not. Looking forward to Amsterdam!

[@aliwantizu]

@@DB-np2vg Yeah, I hear many fans make fun of it and say: Constipation, Whyyyyyyy? 🙄

Спасибо большое за видео!❤ Dave and Martin великолепны как всегда, лучшие из лучших! ❤💝💕

[@tonyrose9716]

It was a bucket list item to see DM live, and I made it to this show! Watching Dave return to this song and hearing it in person was a religious experience. Breathtaking. Thanks for posting this!

[@luisel7539]

this is beyond beautiful. Usually I dont like it if people have their phones in at concerts but in that case I am so thankful! I would be so happy if they play that one in Berlin😭

[@saltysynthesizers]

same I really hope they keep it in for the European leg....I will be screaming my lungs out

[@ashleydixon4613]

I wish they’d played it in San Antonio, but I’m not complaining-the whole show was incredible! What I wouldn’t give for the chance to fly to Berlin to see them there, though. But I can’t complain: I’m seeing them again in Dallas in October! 💜💜💜

[@Suz562]

This performance was absolutely 💯 beautiful. To be there live and hear it was an unforgettable experience. They sounded soooo good! Depeche Mode gets better with every tour and show. I love them forever 🖤

So good, I love how happy Dave looks singing this song. I got to catch them in San Jose this tour and they sounded phenomenal. If this is their last tour, they're going out with a bang.

[@joelashadali]

He says it's his favorite because he felt he found his voice

[@albaline6035]

Fantastique 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤❤❤

[@lillianrevelator7408]

Just look how cute they are and hear how great they sound. Can't wait for August in Poland 🥰🥰🥰

[@Pwaola]

It was awesome. I was very far from stage to see the performance but I was able to feel the song and there is no words that can explain what we felt that night

[@HippiDreamer]

😌❤ ahh what an amazing song, amazing vocal and amazing fancam thanx so much 🙏

[@houseofdny]

I was there last night, so, so good. Gahan's voice is stronger than ever

[@barbaravs1814]

So sweet, for some reason watching this makes me want them to cover Tender by Blur

[@barbaraschumacher3861]

I remember this band from the 80's and I am so glad they're still around.

I love the friendship between Dave and Martin. Both exceptional artists. The mutual respect they have for each other is heart-warming.

[@bulatzharkenov7643]

Наконец то вспомнили эту песню 👍

[@thejimmy6533]

Thanks for posting this! So THIS is what it looks like from just a few rows back. Lucky! We were in the upper level for the Chicago show, but still had a decent view. And while I like "Waiting For the Night To Fall," I'm glad they went with "Condemnation" instead for the encore. It's a much stronger song (vocally) for live performances, and the crowd gets into it as well.

[@stopbunsen]

That is just so so special. They are in such a good place. Dave has had to sing the song in a different key on previous tours as he couldn't manage to sing it in the orginal key. But this is in the orginal key. It's so good!

[@GeorgeDemin]

Thank you very much for the video! It’s great they do different things in order to have some variety. Dave really decided to take some extra vocal challenge this tour, given which songs he sings

[@Nob0und5YTshorts]

Changing one song to add variety is shite. It should be 3-4 songs per night

[@GeorgeDemin]

@@Nob0und5YTshorts it’s only the 3rd gig in the tour. Last tour no significant changes didn’t happen until the end of the 2nd leg. I think more rotation is on the way

[@Hamburgerjung.]

I love Depeche Mode They haven't lost any of their luster. I'm not a fan of bands like the Rolling Stones having their male nurse on stage, but as long as you can do without, why not. Dave his voice is just as good as it was back then. In good shape for his 60 years, considering he cheated death twice, hats off. . I wish them both a lot of strength and health. Two types of fighters.

[@lolpespol581]

I can't believe they played this live. Can't wait until I see them in August

Goosebumps, memories all kinds of feelings, blessed to see they still perform and nail it.

I love that even with the added guitar, they still stay true to the fact that a grand piano is the main instrument for the song.

Dave & Martin

[@laurence.MusicAndSights]

Fabuleuse interprétation épurée sans fausse note...Dave et Martin donnent le meilleur d'eux mêmes pour la postérité qui sait...Cette tournée mondiale dépasse de loin leurs concerts plus jeunes. Ils vont s'épuiser. Quel talent inégalé, inégalable!!! Merci pour avoir posté cet acte de bravoure alors que leur 15ème album est prodigieux, en adéquation avec notre Planète qui bascule vers l anéantissement...ils ont toujours été visionnaires dès l angoissant album BLACK CELEBRATION...

[@depechemode4ever1]

Une vraie institution musicale Des personnages d'une très grande valeur et générosité Un talent artistique sans commun mesure ,un catalogue sonore d'une variété plus qu extraordinaire , un parcours juste phénoménal , une puissance spirituel inébranlable. J en perds mes mots. Le nouvel album est exceptionnel. Que Dieu les protège.

[@laurence.MusicAndSights]

@@depechemode4ever1 je les suis depuis mes 11 ans, en 1980 et connais la biographie phénoménale de chaque membre, Dave recruté comme lead vocalist qui a surmonté des drames personnels pour devenir sage et posé. 3e album enfin composé par Martin le cerveau si polymorphe et émouvant. Très affligée par le décès injuste de Fletch, 30 ans de mariage, DJ parfois et discret, producteur, clavieriste, j'avoue que j'ai été paresseuse car je parle anglais grâce à eux surtout. Dave s singing for the Soulsavers made my day, so impressed was I. He sang out of this world in Paris ... the key to perfection lies within your commentary. I ve been very active since September when a DJ revealed on his site that they were preparing the so expected 15th album ...like an earthquake in my life. Even though I listen to so many true composers and singers without autotune from 1960 to 2023, all styles worldwide, electro, trip hop, industrial, progressive rock, classics as well, to be honest DM are the best and it is an euphemism. Thanks for your warm considerate response ! Greetings from France
