Notes

A good soundboard recording of the last concert with Vince Clarke. This version has significantly better quality than previous copies available. This audio is sourced from a Nickelodeon television broadcast on July 2, 1983.

The audio is quite hissy, and for some reason, the first 50 seconds of Photographic are significantly quieter than the rest of the audio. However, this audio lacks the overpowering and distorted bass present in the previous source.

New Life is missing approximately a minute, and I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead lacks the middle instrumental bridge. It seems that these portions were removed from the broadcast and were not a result of the taper pausing.

You may find the video that this audio was extracted from at Source 2.

Thanks to Mickey's VHS and Betamax Finds for digitizing the source video and also for providing the well-encoded pre-YouTube version publicly via Google Drive.
