Another pivotal gig this one - this captures Depeche Mode on the See You tour, shortly after Vince Clarke left in November 1981 and after recruiting Alan Wilder to the lineup as his replacement. "See You", the first single written by Martin Gore, was released 1 month before this gig and the setlist features what would become their next single, "The Meaning of Love". An interesting snapshot of a band at the early stages of transition and featuring a bizarre choice of a Gerry and The Pacemakers song as an encore!
UPDATE. While preparing this old show as separate files for a donator to the site, I found I could now improve the sound quality further, over what I’d originally done to the recording back in 2012. You can now download this new version (as of 2019) HERE as 1 new 320kbps MP3 file.
Or, if you would like to have separate tagged MP3s, or even lossless files in FLAC format, head on over to the Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site costs.
