Notes

A very good audience recording, though a bit reverberated sounding. Personal Jesus is incomplete and fades out. Here are the taper's notes:

It was great seeing Depeche Mode after 17 years (!), on their final show of the 1st leg of the tour. As a one time show-goer on this tour, I'm a big fan of this setlist. I scored some free tickets in a suite and I knew beforehand that this wasn't going to be the most amazing location to tape. What I didn't expect was that a couple would bring 2-3 loud kids to spoil everyone's time, let alone the tape, so you'll be hearing them occasionally throughout the recording. Besides screaming children who should've been left with a babysitter, there's also some chatter at some points of the recording because most people are there to have a good time drinking and talking and might not even know one or more songs from the band, which I kind of understand! The tape outside of these extraneous factors is fine I guess. Sounds reinforcement aimed at the suites isn't the best and won't give you the full sound you'd get from being on the floor, but a decent capture regardless - somewhere in the G/VG- range, but I'm sure better captures from the evening will emerge. I almost forgot to mention that I forgot that my recording app doesn't auto-start a new recording, so the ending of Personal Jesus is cut (it takes a real idiot not to remember to "flip a tape" during the encore in the digital era). I cut myself some slack, as this is probably the first 2h-plus show I've recorded with this gear/app.

Both the original high-resolution 24-bit, 48KHz fileset and a downsampled version in 16-bit, 44.1KHz are available for download below.
