A very good soundboard recording, with FM patches. The silver CD bootleg [http://www.discogs.com/Depeche-Mode-Touring-The-Angel-Almost-Acoustic/release/4383826 Touring The Angel Almost Acoustic] was used for 2 minutes and 10 seconds at the beginning of "Personal Jesus" as well as for patches at the beginning of each song. Track 14 (the interview) is also sourced from the bootleg. The core of the recording is a soundboard or pre-FM source. It's rather loud with little dynamic range, but all of the FM broadcasts are similarly loud.

Many tracks were reworked as acoustic versions, so this recording is a must-have. The backing tape crashes during "I Feel You" and it takes a few minutes for the band to restart. This concert also had the first performance of "Shake The Disease" since 1990.

Notes

A very good soundboard recording, with FM patches. The silver CD bootleg Depeche Mode - Touring The Angel Almost Acoustic (Grabbing Hands CID 012) was used for 2 minutes and 10 seconds at the beginning of "Personal Jesus" as well as for patches at the beginning of each song. Track 14 (the interview) is also sourced from the bootleg. The core of the recording is a soundboard or pre-FM source. It's rather loud with little dynamic range, but all of the FM broadcasts are similarly loud.

Many tracks were reworked as acoustic versions, so this recording is a must-have. The backing tape crashes during "I Feel You" and it takes a few minutes for the band to restart. This concert also had the first performance of "Shake The Disease" since 1990.

A DVD of what I believe is a webstream of this concert is available on DIME, but it is quite glitchy and I would not recommend it, honestly. I wish I was able to rip the webstream directly back then.
