A very good soundboard recording of the second and final Ultra Party on Friday, May 16th, 1997. Two sources were used to complete the concert recording, detailed below.
[http://vimeo.com/album/2278330 You may view 90 second video snippets of this concert on Vimeo.]


Unaired interviews with Dave, interviewed by E! TV, and with Andy some time in 1993 are also included. Dave's interview is from the afternoon before the concert and the making of "Ultra" is discussed, as well as Dave's recovery and his feelings on performing sober on stage. Andy's is from some time in 1993 since he references the upcoming release of SOFAD Live and the South African, Far East and South American legs of the Exotic tour as well as the then-uncertain US Summer Tour 94. Dave's interview had been uploaded [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4MfE77TS08 here]. If anybody has any further specifics about the interview such as the exact date or who conducted the interview, please let us know via email at admin [at] depechemode-live [dot] com.
== Set list ==


A PAL DVD containing two separate video recordings as well as interviews with Dave and Andy is [http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=426424 available on DIME]. The two video sources contained the lossless audio used here.

*Source 1: E! TV recording, possibly pre-broadcast source, provides the core of the recording
*[[1997-05-16 Shrine Exposition Hall, Los Angeles, CA, USA/Source 1|Source 1]] is the most complete, best sounding soundboard recording available.
*Source 2: MTV broadcast, likely a broadcast which was recorded, was used for the following:
*[[1997-05-16 Shrine Exposition Hall, Los Angeles, CA, USA/Source 2|Source 2]] is a PAL pro-shot DVD containing two separate video sources as well as interviews with Dave and Andy. This DVD contained the two audio sources used to create Source 1.
**45 seconds of pre-show DJ set music and the first 25 seconds of "Uselink" (crowd noise which looked lossy or had excessive noise reduction applied)
*[[1997-05-16 Shrine Exposition Hall, Los Angeles, CA, USA/Source 3|Source 3]] is audio from a second or third gen E! VHS pre-broadcast source, but has excessive and harsh-sounding equalization applied and I would not recommend it. It is available for the completists.
**About 35 seconds at the end of "Home" which was edited out on the E! version
**Entirety of "Never Let Me Down Again" - the E! version looked lossy or had excessive noise reduction applied; Dave's goodbyes and additional audience noise are retained from the E! version
**Dave's interview
*Source 3: E! TV recording, second or third gen VHS, likely a pre-broadcast source; used only for Andy's interview
