1984-11-02 Hammersmith Odeon, London, England, UK
Notes
Depeche Mode's second out of four nights at the Hammersmith Odeon during their 1984-1985 Some Great Reward Tour. A pre-FM recording, a raw soundboard tape, and two FM broadcast master recordings from this concert are available below.
All four sources of this audio are confirmed to be from this date and not 1984-11-03, as was commonly thought for a very long time. The BBC Radio International catalog search page confirmed the date of the "In Concert 345" pre-FM vinyl as being from the November 2, 1984 show; see below for a screenshot.
Portion Control was the support act.
