1982-12-14 Muziekcentrum Vredenburg, Utrecht, The Netherlands/Source 2
Notes
An excellent quality pro-shot video from the Dutch TV series "Countdown". This video is superior quality to all previous versions and has significantly better audio quality as well. Other than a small glitch during The Meaning Of Love, the video and audio are quite stable. Just Can't Get Enough has been edited to reduce the duration of the program for broadcast by cutting out the extended 12" portion toward the end of the song.
This was the last concert from the 1982 leg of the A Broken Frame tour. Too bad more of it wasn't broadcast!
Many thanks to TravisBickle1963 for unearthing this superb tape. If you have any master video recordings of Depeche Mode or other bands, please contact us and we can help you preserve those recordings!
You may find the audio extracted from this video by itself at Source 3.
Source 1 is a reworked audio source which includes two additional songs ("My Secret Garden" and "New Life"), plus stereo versions of Boys Say Go! and Leave In Silence sourced from a stereo FM broadcast recording and utilizes the audio from this source for the remaining songs to provide the most complete version possible.
Source 4 is a very good FM broadcast master recording, sourced from an LP-mode DAT clone. It contains 4 songs.
