This BBC concert took place only one year after the last one I posted. But in the meantime the band released the album "Some Great Reward," which featured some hits like "People Are People," "Master and Servant," "Blasphemous Rumours," and "Somebody," raising the profile of the band. So the set list has a lot of differences.
Many versions of this concert are missing songs. But I found the most comprehensive version at a Depeche Mode wiki site. Unfortunately, the final encore of "Shout" and "Just Can't Get Enough" is still missing, since those were never broadcast in any version of this concert.
This unreleased concert has excellent sound quality. But it's one of those cases where what happened on stage was recorded so well that there's very little of the crowd. There's also very little banter. At times, it almost sounds like the band was practicing their concert set list in a studio setting. That has pluses and minuses, but I decided to keep it as it is instead of patching in a bunch of audience applause.
This album is an hour and 20 minutes long.
