The tape's homemade artwork.

Notes

A very good sounding complete audience recording. Bass can be a bit overpowering and just a touch distorted at times, but otherwise this is a great recording. This concert ended after Enjoy The Silence; the second encore was not performed.

Note that the tape inlay included with this cassette marks noise reduction as having been used, but I compared this tape with and without Dolby B NR and it sounded significantly muffled with NR. This tape was transferred without any noise reduction.

Many thanks to Brad for sending over his tape of this recording, and to Erich for sending me his MP3 copy of his own tape copy and getting me in contact with Brad. Brad gave this bootleg the title "A Personal Rush", as can be seen on the scan of the tape's homemade artwork. I also tried to contact Atomic Records on Facebook to see if they might have the master tapes from any of their Depeche Mode recordings, but I haven't received any response so far.
