Notes

A good audience recording. It's fairly noisy and there isn't much dynamic range. I was able to cleanly remove most of the hiss with noise reduction, and there was a slight DC offset that was corrected.

The recording includes Everything Counts, contrary to what is stated in the info file. However, it was sourced from an available MP3 version, as confirmed through spectrogram analysis.

Thanks to Ronny, here is a translation of the announcer's speech prior to the concert.

Everything alright, friends?

That's what I thought.

Now, please listen to me for a moment. A few rules are important for the organisation.

First of all, the guys don't want anyone to smoke in the venue. Alright?

That also makes sense for your safety, because it would be a shame if this all burns down.

The second point is: don't throw anything up here and don´t even try to climb up the stage, it will be prevented anyway.

Together, we want to have a real celebration. With Depeche Mode, of course.

And lastly, if something happens and someone has a problem, help him so he can get out somewhere over there.

Be nice to each other, as I said, it means we want to have great concert together.

Always keep the word "we" in mind - these people in the stadium are "we", so behave accordingly, okay?

Alright, just a few more minutes, some things happening on the stage, a few cables getting plugged in - you already know this from the band before.

It will begin in just a few more minutes. Have a lot of fun. See you then.
