Notes

A pro-shot video of the last concert with Vince Clarke. This version is significantly better quality than prior available copies. This video is said to be from a Nickelodeon television rebroadcast on July 2, 1983.

The video quality is quite good for being sourced from VHS, however there is some color bleed. The audio is hissy, and the first 50 seconds of Photographic are significantly quieter than the rest of the audio for some reason.

New Life is missing about a minute and I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead is missing the middle instrumental bridge, but this seems to be how the songs were edited for broadcast.

The audio by itself from this video is available as Source 1.

Thanks to Mickey's VHS and Betamax Finds for digitizing the source video and also for providing the well-encoded pre-YouTube version publicly via Google Drive.
