Notes

An excellent, complete soundboard recording. This recording was originally distributed on chrome cassettes, but a master DAT clone transfer was able to be obtained and is the source you can download here.

In Your Room has a brief section of loud diginoise at 3:54, but otherwise this is a flawless recording as far as I know. The "Rated PG" bootleg of this recording covered the diginoise up with a section from another point in the song, which indicates the flaw is on the master DAT.

ORIGINAL TEXT FROM WWW.RECOIL.CO.UK:

I have a soundboard recording from the USA '94 show in San Francisco. I always thought this was done without the bands knowledge/approval but when samples from the recording turned up in that god-awful new remix of 'World In My Eyes' (found on the XLCD of 'Only When I Lose Myself'), I realised that the band must have known about it. Did/do Depeche Mode record several shows of each tour in this manner, and if so, for what purpose?

Sound recordings direct from the front of house mixing desk were only ever made for personal reference reasons. I knew nothing about the above remix until I received a finished CD with it included. As you can imagine I was far from pleased.

BRAT Explanation:

The soundboard is definitely a bootleg (rumour is that someone knew one of the tour personnel and got a DAT clone). The remix you refer to (the absolutely HORRID "Safar Mix") was originally a bootleg 12" remix single.

I went to Reprise to present my proposal for a special 3rd CD to the upcoming (then) 'Singles 86>98' compilation. Craig Kostich (Product Manager at Reprise), later in the process of pressing up the bonus disc, took out 9 of the rarer tracks I wanted to see included on the Reprise release, and replaced them all with the piss-poor Safar Mix of 'World In My Eyes'. Craig is friends with the guy (Safar) therefore, you have him to blame for the track getting released.

Hope I didn't bore anyone!

Not at all Brat. Thanks for clearing it up.
