Best live version in many tours. Hopefully it will be a mainstay of the 2024 European tour 🙏🏼

That's for Alan...brilliant Dave

Finally drums are at full speed and this is only and one version of Black Celebration they should perform! 😀😀 intro is also an iconic and masterpiece!! Love it

Cool! They finally put some effort into a new version.

thanks Alan for this song

i think Black Celebration it's the definition of Depeche Mode

Every time I see this performed live, I just remember Alan in the 101 documentary giving his cute demonstration of how he played Black Celebration on the keyboards. I'm just glad Dave still mentions him every now and then..

Goosebumps with that intro. Pure dm greatness

What an epic intro 🙏

I can’t remember the last time they played that song at such a fast tempo. They clearly are reading the comments about how stagnant the set list for the tour is.

They played Black Celebration 3 times in 2017. The band had posted a photo of the keyboard programming a few days ago and several songs appeared that are ready to be played on the tour, such as: Policy of Truth, Behind The Wheel, Photographic, Don't Say You Love Me, Before We Drown, Black Celebration... So this change in the setlist was already expected.

Shame how they had to pitch it so much lower than before in order for Dave to feel comfortable singing it. Nothing new I suppose, they’ve been doing it on a lot of their songs for years.

I have goose bumps whe i hear this new live version Black Celebration. I love it !!! Thanks Depeche Mode ❤

Great version of Black Celebration 🙌

Best Intro ever

what a badass intro to this classic!

This version is INCREDIBLE!!! Hope it becomes a mainstay...

For you Alan!!

damn he still sounds so good

Amazing version, the intro was something else, I'll drink to that. Thanks for sharing, DM 4 ever 🖤

“Thank you that was for Alan” I’m sobbing

This version sounded amazing in person. Hope an offiical version comes out.

Mi favorite song ❤️‍🔥

I would love if Blasphemous Rumours got played. I think it would work.

The most epic intro i have ever heard🤯🥶

Thank you very much, Depeche Mode!! This is a GREAT change! And I am also happy for this "new coat" of this your hit of 80's:-) This is your/our anthem from your typical Depeche period-from 80's!☺👍👏❤

We flew all the way from NZ for this gig and boy was as it worth it! Brilliant set list and such a treat to see Black Celebration and Policy of Truth being played by the boys as my brother who saw them at Twickenham and Stade de France said both tracks were a 1st time on this tour. Just a brilliant gig. Wish we could have stayed in NY longer to see them again at MSG. Just Fantastic. Europe and North America dont realise how lucky they are....

Thanks for sharing. What a great live version.

Just when I've given up all hope of ever hearing Black Celebration live, they surprised the hell out of me last Saturday. I was so emotional throughout the entire song and will be forever grateful for that experience. My absolute favorite song and album by DM. And for everyone complaining about the drumming, it was so intense in person. I don't think the recording can capture how well they hit. When they played Precious, the drumming was so powerful. I was amazed on how good that song was live. Thanks for sharing this video, I've been replaying it as I'm still high from Saturday's performance. I'm probably gonna buy last minute tickets for this Saturday's show at MSG.

Agreed! It was a stunning performance in person.. It just worked. And Martin was so engaged with the crowd for this show, it was really fun to watch. Tickets are pricey for MSG tomr but I'm still looking!

I think this is the best piece of music they've ever performed...live or studio recording. That intro is possibly the most epic thing I've ever heard!

Now I want to go again soon to hear Black Celebration and Strangelove!

Damn!! I miss Alan!!😢

Amazing intro... And yes, thank you Alan🖤 Hope to see it live this Sat at MSG 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Fucking finally!

Still got it brilliant show when they played twickenham this year in the uk 🇬🇧

Love the intro. Even though song was transposed half note down to save Dave's voice it still sounds absolutely amazing! Visual representation is like... DM at their prime and better than ever! On FIRE!

I was there last night and this gave me chills down my spine. Thank you Dave & Martin!

This is MAGICAL really.... i started to cry when i hear this voice and music😭 LIVE ROCK MUSIC!!🤩🎶🎵🎶
