00:08 I am Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, and I am so proud to be here on what we have officially declared in the city of Los Angeles as Depeche Mode Day in LA.
00:22 [Cheering]
00:26 I want to thank you all for coming out to honor a very treasured band that has meant so much to Los Angeles,
00:34 meeting us where we are with their lyrics and their musical stylings that helped to keep us whole when sometimes the world was falling apart.
00:46 And I couldn't be more proud to be here in solidarity with all of you to recognize a global sensation that has not only made an indelible mark in Los Angeles, but around the globe.
01:02 Ladies and gentlemen, help me welcome Dave Gahan Martin Gar Depeche Mode!
01:10 [Cheering]
01:34 Hey!
01:36 You ready?
01:38 [Cheering]
01:42 Well, this is incredible.
01:48 [Cheering]
01:50 We would like to thank Councilwoman Rodriguez for this momentous occasion, for this DM Day.
02:01 [Cheering]
02:04 I never thought I'd be saying that, ever.
02:10 But thank you for all coming. It's very nice of you to turn up.
02:19 We've always had a very special relationship with Los Angeles.
02:27 It was really Los Angeles and New York were the springboards, really, for our career in America.
02:35 And yeah, we had a lot of support from K-Rock in the early days.
02:42 Richard, who's here today, obviously.
02:48 And the first ever stadium we ever played headlining was here in Los Angeles.
02:56 So, another big part of our history, the warehouse fiasco.
03:03 [Cheering]
03:05 Sorry we didn't sign the records.
03:07 Yeah, sorry we didn't sign the records, but thank you.
03:10 It helped our career a lot because we made nationwide news.
03:13 [Laughter]
03:19 But, yeah, thank you everyone. We are very, very honored.
03:23 We humbly accept DM Day.
03:28 [Cheering]
03:32 Thank you.
03:35 And I just wanted to add, thank you very much as well.
03:39 [Cheering]
03:45 And I could have done with this kind of support in the early 90s as well.
03:49 It would have been very helpful.
03:53 [Laughter]
03:56 Thank you, of course.
03:58 [Cheering]
04:04 So, ladies and gentlemen, please help me in officially commemorating
04:10 by resolution of the Los Angeles City Council, Depeche Mode Day in L.A.
04:17 [Cheering]
04:43 [Indistinct chatter]
04:49 Okay, thank you guys. Thank you very much.
04:52 [Indistinct chatter]
