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.
A very good raw soundboard recording demuxed from single-cam pro-shot footage from the latter of two 'Ultra Parties.' This source might sound slightly duller than previous copies, as those copies received EQ and other tweaks. This version remains unmodified, except for normalization.


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.
This recording includes 33 seconds of pre-show audio, it's worth noting that the first 19 seconds of the video lack audio, so it was trimmed from this fileset.

**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)
**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

Notes

A very good raw soundboard recording demuxed from single-cam pro-shot footage from the latter of two 'Ultra Parties.' This source might sound slightly duller than previous copies, as those copies received EQ and other tweaks. This version remains unmodified, except for normalization.

This recording includes 33 seconds of pre-show audio, it's worth noting that the first 19 seconds of the video lack audio, so it was trimmed from this fileset.

The pro-shot video, from which this audio originates, can be found at Source 2. Additionally, there's a soundboard + audience matrix version at Source 3, and the original audience recording used in the matrix can be accessed at Source 4.

Thanks to RyanJ for digitally transferring the MiniDV tape.
