Did anyone go to see it? I saw it this evening. It made me wish that they were playing live again soon. Still love them as much as I did when I was 15!

Dave Gahan can command an audience like no other front man I have seen (and I've seen a lot of live bands). He has absolute magnetism. I have no clue what it is but it never ceases to amaze me that he has that power.

LushLemonTart · 28/10/2025 23:16

I want to go. Glad you enjoyed.

Itsasecretnow · 28/10/2025 23:21

We went tonight too, it was good! Nobody sung or waved their arms in the air though :( I would’ve loved for it to be longer. I don’t think I would ever get bored of seeing them live, it’s just such an amazing atmosphere.

Yourownpersonaljesus · 28/10/2025 23:33

Dave Gahan is a great frontman, I agree @Pieceofpurplesky Though Martin's voice is sublime. @Itsasecretnow I heard that at some showings fans were up dancing. Not at the showing I was at! Could have happily just watched the whole show without the extra bits.

I'm seeing it later in the week, I can't wait. I saw them on the tour, they were incredible but I missed Andy. DM have been the soundtrack to my life, Dave's been the love of my life since I was 14. They've got a DVD and CD set coming out soon too. https://depechemodeuk.store/products/depeche-mode-m-2dvd-2cd

Saw them on the 2024 tour and they were brilliant.

Joolsin · 29/10/2025 00:21

I'm going on Thursday, looking forward to it immensely. They are my favourite live band by far.

Darragon · 29/10/2025 00:28

So jealous of you all from China. I don’t think it’s in the cinema here. 😱

Oooooh that could possibly be something I can get someone to ship to me! 💖

You should go @LushLemonTart .

I'll probably go alone as dh is out and friends who might go are probably working or busy?

Yourownpersonaljesus · 29/10/2025 12:59

@Toastandjam16 and @Joolsin they are definitely the best live band - they always put on a great show. @WordsAreMeaninglessAndForgettable it's a shame that I don't have a dvd player anymore as I'd love to watch it again. Enjoy the film if you go @LushLemonTart and enjoy watching the dvd when it comes out @Darragon .

Yes, in Estonia, it was amazing.

Going tomorrow! Cant bloomin wait

I take it they're big in Estonia then @user1471453256 . I've always found it interesting that they are much more popular in other countries than in the UK. Have a good time tomorrow @SwankyPants .

I saw it last night- was amazing have been a faithful fan since 1986 - Black Celebration tour - they are so HUGE in Mexico! quality film although I have moved on a bit but seen them about 9 or 10 times over the last few years. Really struck me how young the fans were- when I do the UK gigs everyone is 50+ with few young ones!

SwankyPants · 30/10/2025 22:01

Was brilliant, really got into it. A couple of times I forgot I was in the cinema and went to clap when they finished a song 🤣

Yourownpersonaljesus · 30/10/2025 23:04

Glad you both enjoyed it @SwankyPants and @mrsfollowill .

Joolsin · 30/10/2025 23:34

Well, I enjoyed it very much. Missed the first three songs as the traffic was terrible so we arrived late. The extra bits were a bit superfluous but didn't take away from the power of the live performance bits. I had goosebumps watching and remembering all the gigs down the years. Dave Gahan just ... has it!!

mrsfollowill · 31/10/2025 00:29

@SwankyPants I was so frustrated I couldn't jump up and do the swaying arms! Really wanted to but everyone else just sat there. Amazing Dave Gahan is still alive to be fair him and Martin looked like a couple of teenagers messing about at some points - so amazing Mexico loves them so much! so many younger people not loads of 50+ people

SwankyPants · 31/10/2025 14:00

There weren't many in the cinema and no one was waving. I did, we were on the back row, but I was the only one 😂
Loved seeing all the pictures of Andy in the crowd.

He did make me laugh, did anyone see the interview with Simon someone? He asked them who made them starstruck and both Dave and Martin said Bowie. Fletch said Frank Lampard 🤣

MaitreKarlsson · 01/11/2025 17:06

Hello, saw this on Wednesday, was fantastic. Agree with @Pieceofpurplesky Dave Gahan is just a brilliantly powerful front man, weaves some kind of spell. And the way he can move is amazing. Meanwhile the songs are so strong.
I could have done without all the Mexican poetry tbh, at times it made absolutely no sense at all. 😐

Went to see Inhaler live last night and on balance I much preferred sitting in the cinema watching the Mode..

It's true.

I went to school with him and don't remember him as anything special, but on stage....

What always stands out for me is the amazing things they were doing so young.
