The Institute of Contemporary Arts showcased 18 bands over six nights. DM played on the second night, with The Chefs and Tarzan 5 as the support acts.

This concert had a three track FM broadcast consisting of the tracks Boys Say Go!, The Price Of Love, and Dreaming Of Me. The entire concert (along with the other bands performing over the six nights) was reportedly video taped, according to a newspaper review of the concert; see right. To date, the video of Depeche Mode's performance is not available.

You can download a lossless version of this FM broadcast below. Do note that this is a first-generation MiniDisc transfer of the original tape and the tape deck used for the transfer was probably not high-end, based on the mediocre sound quality. The taper has his original tape at a friend's house, and he has asked for the tape back from him. It will be transferred using a top-of-the-line cassette deck once the tape is in my hands.
