Notes

A very good sounding audience recording. Pimpf and Black Celebration are missing some of their beginnings. There are some drop outs during the second half of A Question Of Lust; it can be inferred that these are present on the original master tapes as higher-generation copies of this recording have the same flaws.

Note that an extended version of People Are People was performed, adding an extended middle break. This version was performed for the first seven concerts of the tour through 1987-10-30 Milan, after which the "regular" shorter version is played for the entire tour, with one exception. This extended version is played only once more on the second of three nights in Paris on 1987-11-17.

Many thanks to Falko for generously lending me this tape to archive, and thanks to Elly Apfel for recording this concert.
