Notes
Ex-Blitz kids Steve Strange and Rusty Egan organised a "People's Palace St. Valentine's Ball" at the Rainbow. Vince Clarke managed to secure this gig[1], and Depeche Mode were paid £50[2]. Depeche Mode was the opening act, followed by groups Shock and Metro, and Ultravox was the main act.
An uncredited DM member said in fanzine "Stand & Deliver", published in June 1982: "We played at the People's Palace thing in London a while ago which was supposed to be a futurist thing. We thought the idea was really good, to have all these people into the same thing, under one roof for a night but with Ultravox as the surprise guests, it turned into just another Ultravox concert."
