Commentaire :
The best sounding, most complete version available of this FM broadcast to date. The beginning of « Told You So » is patched using a pretty bad sounding source, but otherwise the rest of the concert sounds excellent.
This was the live concert debut of « People Are People »; this is a « hybrid » playback / live performance, with choruses mostly playbacked and verses sung live. Some interesting synth lines are played in contrast to later live versions of the 1984 – 1985 « Some Great Reward » tour. This version of « People Are People » was first performed at 1984-03-30 at a TV performance on « The Tube » (https://www.depechemode-live.com/wiki/1984-03-30 The Tube, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, England, UK/Source_1), but as mentioned earlier this was the first time it was played during a concert.
This concert also has the only soundboard-quality source for « And Then… » at the time of this writing.
