Notes
According to Sascha Lange and Dennis Burmeister's book Monument, none of the 6481 tickets were sold freely to citizens but were distributed among the higher education schools in East-Berlin (which of course meant that some sold their tickets for ridiculously high prices).
In 2013, German TV channel MDR reported on concerts in East-Germany, featuring this concert as well. Dave Gahan said in this report:
"I still remember that concert very well. I remember travelling to Checkpoint Charlie, trying to get in East-Berlin in the first place, the hotel we stayed in, the curfew after the concert, being locked up in the hotel and told not to leave... All these things, to a young 23/24 year old starting from Essex in England, it was kind of strange to have your freedom taken away from you."
German newspaper Tagesspiegel wrote a long retrospect in 2008 here; someone translated it to English here.
Mixed Pickles was the support act.
