Notes

Primal Scream, who had been a support act for Depeche Mode, performed at the Reading Festival on this day. Dave Gahan traveled from Los Angeles to London to celebrate London's Notting Hill Carnival, attend an "UnLedded" Led Zeppelin TV special, attend Martin Gore's wedding to his first wife, and jump on stage with Primal Scream. Gahan played harmonica during one of their songs, called 'Loaded'. Video footage of this impromptu performance is commonly found on video sharing site YouTube.

N.B.: Kristin Chalberg of Sire/Warner Records, who attended Gore's wedding, reported on the internet at the time that Gahan, Andrew Fletcher and Alan Wilder had been present at the wedding and all the wedding guests including Martin and his then-wife attended the Reading Festival together. Martin appeared onstage during Primal Scream's performance to say a few words.
