A very good recording. This FM broadcast is sourced from a second-generation cassette tape. Thanks to darkdevoted for providing the cassette.
Hula was the support act.

[[Black Celebration]], [[A Question Of Time]], [[Stripped]], [[Something To Do]] and [[More Than A Party]] from this concert were officially released across various editions of the [[A Question Of Time]] single release, the "X2" box set, the [[Black Celebration (album)]] reissue, as part of the iTunes "The Complete Depeche Mode" compilation, and the 12" Singles Box Set series.

Most versions of [[A Question Of Time]] and [[More Than A Party]] from these official releases are labeled as "Live Remix", except for the ones which appear on the "X2" box set. [[A Question Of Time]]'s "Live Remix" is named as such because it crossfades with the "New Town Mix" of the song, and [[More Than A Party]]'s "Live Remix" corrects an incorrect sound played after the first "this isn't a party, it's a whole lot more" at the beginning of the song. The "X2" box set versions of the song do not have the crossfade and overdub, respectively. Additionally, the "X2" box set versions seem to be mastered differently and have significantly less reverb than the other commercially released versions as well as the audio which was broadcast over FM.

Notes

Hula was the support act.

Black Celebration, A Question Of Time, Stripped, Something To Do and More Than A Party from this concert were officially released across various editions of the A Question Of Time single release, the "X2" box set, the Black Celebration (album) reissue, as part of the iTunes "The Complete Depeche Mode" compilation, and the 12" Singles Box Set series.

Most versions of A Question Of Time and More Than A Party from these official releases are labeled as "Live Remix", except for the ones which appear on the "X2" box set. A Question Of Time's "Live Remix" is named as such because it crossfades with the "New Town Mix" of the song, and More Than A Party's "Live Remix" corrects an incorrect sound played after the first "this isn't a party, it's a whole lot more" at the beginning of the song. The "X2" box set versions of the song do not have the crossfade and overdub, respectively. Additionally, the "X2" box set versions seem to be mastered differently and have significantly less reverb than the other commercially released versions as well as the audio which was broadcast over FM.

These audio extracts of More Than A Party showcase the overdub heard on the "Live Remix" version:

  • "X2" version:

  • "Singles Box Set" version:
