Notes

Any recording marked as from this date is mislabeled. The recording is actually from the video-sourced audience recording of 1981-09-26 Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Martin Gore said in the May 1982 issue of Good Times Magazine:

"[I]n Belgium we came out for an encore, which was the Everly Brothers' 'The Price Of Love' and the drums just stopped midway through it. We just pretended that we always finished there and ran off laughing, thinking "Well that's a good ending.""

When a journalist for Le Soir in 2022 mentioned all the venues in Belgium where DM have played, Martin Gore replied:

"You forget Disco Rojo, the very first one in 1981. It's surprising that I remember it. We then went to a club. It was a Monday. I remember that because someone told us that there were more people that day because it was a national day off for hairdressers. I've never heard that anywhere else in the world!"
