Notes

A superb audience recording of the last concert of the 1982-1983 A Broken Frame Tour, undoubtedly one of the best recordings from this tour.

This tape plays a percent or two slow, and it will definitely be corrected at some point because it sounds excellent. The audience is pretty sleepy and they shout some not-so-pleasant comments at the band, as described in the original info file; excerpt below:

This is a typical open-air-audience-tape with some nice comments like "Raus hier!!!" (Get out of here!!!), "Aufhören!" (Stop it!) or (better) "Aufhören, Ihr Scheisser!" (Stop your asses!) Hmmm, it's seems that not so many people did know Depeche Mode those days. I remember some guys came on stage, had a big tape-recorder running, made obscure sounds and did not really rock the house.
