1981-08-26 Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, England, UK

== Notes ==
Attendee Tim Williams wrote here: 
"[B]y the time of their gig at London's ICA on 26 August they had introduced their new professional 'reel to reel' tape player which on that occasion led to some teething troubles."
The Institute of Contemporary Arts showcased 18 bands over six nights. DM played on the second night, with The Chefs and Tarzan 5 as the support acts.
This concert had a three song FM broadcast consisting of the tracks Boys Say Go!, The Price Of Love, and Dreaming Of Me. The entire concert, along with the other bands performing over the six nights, was reportedly video taped, according to a newspaper review of the concert; see right. To date, the video of Depeche Mode's performance is not available.
On December 12, 2016, DMLiveWiki emailed the ICA inquiring whether they have the video of the concert mentioned in the newspaper review, or any audio that could have been used for the Capital Radio FM broadcast. The ICA replied quite thoroughly and promptly the next day, and unfortunately the ICA believes any video footage or audio recording no longer exists; see below.
Many thanks for your query regarding a Depeche Mode performance at the ICA in 1981.
The ICA’s archive material pre-1987 was purchased by Tate in the mid-1990s and is now available via the Tate Archive, based at Tate Britain. The online catalogue for the archive is accessible here:
http://archive.tate.org.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqServer=tb-calm&dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=26&dsqSearch=%28%28%28text%29%3D%27institute%27%29AND%28%28text%29%3D%27of%27%29AND%28%28text%29%3D%27contemporary%27%29AND%28%28text%29%3D%27art%27%29%29
Tate haven’t comprehensively catalogued the A/V elements of the archive yet (audio cassettes, video cassettes and photographs) but I do have box lists they have produced and I can find no references at all to Depeche Mode in the audio or video recordings. Therefore I have to assume, with regret, that this no longer exists.
We do occasionally receive new archive material from former staff or freelancers who worked on or with the ICA, and if any material relating to Depeche Mode comes to light I’ll contact you to make you aware.
Thanks again for your query, and apologies for the disappointing reply.

1981-09-19 The Venue, London, England, UK

== Notes ==
The event was notable as Depeche Mode played twice on the same night, playing two identical sets. The first performance was at 17:00h and the second at 20:00h. The early show was organised for under-18s only who couldn't usually enter licensed premises (soft drinks only). Proceeds of this show went to a charity chosen by the band - 'Amnesty International'. The later show was for over-18s only.
From a review by Mark Ellen in the magazine Smash Hits, issue 1st October 1981, as well as a review by Mike Nicholls in Record Mirror, issue 26th September 1981, the following tracks were confirmed to have been played:
*Any Second Now (instrumental intro)
*What's Your Name? (referred to by the reviewer as "Pretty Boy")
*Puppets (referred to by the reviewer as "Operator")
*New Life
*Dreaming Of Me
*Just Can't Get Enough
*The Price Of Love 
Mark Ellen also mentions that What's Your Name? and Puppets were unveiled at the same venue as this concert eight weeks ago at 1981-07-23 The Venue, London, England, UK.

== Notes ==
Seven tracks from this concert were broadcast by VPRO FM, and an audience video and audio recording are available. Dave refers to What's Your Name? as "Pretty Boy".
Dave Gahan said in the 1986 Star Hits Seriously Cool Scrapbook: 
"I always think of the Paradiso Club where dope is legal and there's all these dealers walking around going "Hey, maan..." Everyone is totally stoned and usually by the time the band comes on, everyone's like lying on the floor."
Intensive Care was the support act.

*Source 1 is a stellar sounding FM broadcast of seven tracks.
*Source 2 is a decent audience video recording.
*Source 3 is a good audience recording with a quiet crowd. It's derived from a cassette copy of Source 2's video but lacks the irritating ringing noises throughout. Although much more muffled and hissy, it's easier on my ears compared to Source 2's headache-inducing buzzing.

1981-09-26 Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands/Source 2

== Notes ==
The video quality of this source is decent, and the audio quality is also acceptable, but it suffers from terrible buzzing and ringing noises throughout. It's worth noting that this recording is often mistaken for a television broadcast, but it wasn't televised.
Any Second Now is missing the very beginning, and "Big Muff" contains only the first few seconds of the song, suggesting that I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead may also be missing its first few seconds. Dreaming Of Me has a glitch in it, Television Set lacks the final few seconds, and The Price Of Love is missing the first few seconds of its opening, possibly due to a lousy edit.

1981-09-28 Disco Rouge, Brussels, Belgium

== Notes ==
Any recording marked as from this date is mislabeled. The recording is actually from the video-sourced audience recording of 1981-09-26 Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Martin Gore said in the May 1982 issue of Good Times Magazine:
"[I]n Belgium we came out for an encore, which was the Everly Brothers' 'The Price Of Love' and the drums just stopped midway through it. We just pretended that we always finished there and ran off laughing, thinking "Well that's a good ending.""
When a journalist for Le Soir in 2022 mentioned all the venues in Belgium where DM have played, Martin Gore replied:
"You forget Disco Rojo, the very first one in 1981. It's surprising that I remember it. We then went to a club. It was a Monday. I remember that because someone told us that there were more people that day because it was a national day off for hairdressers. I've never heard that anywhere else in the world!"

1981-09-29 Les Bains Douches, Paris, France

== Notes ==
This concert was broadcast over FM radio station France-Inter. A pre-FM recording as well as two FM broadcast recordings are available below.
Paris Match asked Andy Fletcher in 2008 if DM still remembered this gig: "Yes! It was the Bains-Douches in Paris in 1980. We were very young. This place used to be a swimming pool, and it became one of our favourite places when we were in Paris."
Tim Michael Williams wrote on Facebook page 'Basildon: New Town - New Life':
"[...] The French audience where [sic] clearly into punk and indie music and suprisingly [sic] quite aggressive in their dancing compared to the UK. One member of the audience was shouting quite aggressively (who knows, it might have been complementary) causing Dave Gahan to angrily dedicate 'Just Can't Get Enough' [our new single] "to the heckler down there". [...]"
Deb Danahay, Vince Clarke's then-girlfriend, wrote on her Facebook page 'Depeche Mode Information Service - 1981' in 2014:
"1st October 1981: After the successful Mini Euro Tour, the band with Daniel Miller, Daryl Bamonte, Jo[anne Fox] and Anne [Swindell] had gone back home. Vince wanted to stay and 'sight see' for a couple of days. I have a lovely collection of photos taken, like this one at the Notre Dame and on the Eiffel Tower.... It was during these two days that Vince told me he had decided to leave the band... but an announcement wasn't made for a few weeks..."

1981-09-29 Les Bains Douches, Paris, France/Source 2

== Notes ==
A superb sounding FM radio broadcast recording. There's a little bit of interference from time to time. Soundstage is excellent, with better channel separation, frequency response, less wow & flutter, and more consistent playback speed than the first-generation cassette copy (Source 3). Vocals are rather buried in the mix for most songs.
The DJ, Bernard Lenoir, is extremely talkative between tracks and often speaks over the beginnings or endings of songs. The taper physically paused recording during much of this chatter, but unfortunately some music is lost as a result (for example, the ending of Ice Machine). Due to the missing audio, the previous first-generation cassette copy still remains on the wiki at Source 3 for completeness sake, though it is a mono recording and does not have this version’s exceptional sound quality and stereo mixing.

1981-10-19 Lawrence Weston School, Bristol, England, UK

== Notes ==
According to an unnamed former pupil of Lawrence Weston School, Tony Blackburn and Peter Powell from the Radio 1 Roadshow introduced the gig. The broadcast schedule, sourced from BBC genome, indicates that it aired on the same day as the concert.
Jeremy Damsell, a former pupil of Lawrence Weston School, stated that the concert did not have tickets as it was exclusive to the school's pupils. He recalls the following songs being performed, though not necessarily in this order:
#New Life
#Puppets
#Just Can't Get Enough
#Photographic
#Tora! Tora! Tora! (Editor's note: According to BBC Radio 1's "programmes-as-broadcast" records detailed below, this song was not part of the broadcast.)
According to BBC Radio 1's "programmes-as-broadcast" recordsProgrammes-as-Broadcast (often abbreviated to PasBs) are production documents used by the BBC as an official record of what was broadcast across all services on any given day (as opposed to what was intended to be broadcast, as listed in Radio Times or other programme schedules). Source: Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), provided by an anonymous contributor with access to a copy of the PasB, the following songs were aired:
#New Life
#Puppets
#Photographic
#Just Can't Get Enough
#I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead
The songs were not aired consecutively, and recordings by other artists were played in between.
An individual who listened to a cassette recording of the broadcast shortly after the airdate reports that the segment included:
#Just Can't Get Enough
#Interview with Peter Powell and the school's headmistress
#I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead
 
These two songs were reportedly live versions.
Unfortunately, the owner of the cassette is unreachable. Hopefully, someone else has a recording of the broadcast.

1981-10-23 Something Else, BBC2, London, England, UK

== Notes ==
The recording of this television performance is often miss-attributed to being from 1981-11-06 Liverpool. The confusion arises because this program was originally broadcast on November 6, 1981.Source: BBC Programme Index - November 6, 1981 
Further backstory is provided below, courtesy of the Depeche Mode Classic Photos And Videos Facebook group:
1981-10-23 - TV Recording, 'Something Else' .
October 23rd 1981 .
Broadcast date: 6th November 1981
The video footage usually credited as live at Liverpool University on 6th November 1981, is actually footage shot for the TV show 'Something Else'. The mistake has come about because this is the date the show was broadcast.
I started investigating this after spotting Deb Danahay and Jo Gahan in the audience. When I pointed it out to her, she said it wasn't her, and what's more, she wasn't at the Liverpool gig. I was confused, but hey, she should know, right?
Some time later, Deb had another look at the footage, and realised that it was in fact her in the audience, with Jo and Anne Swindell. Confused, she checked her diary, and she definitely was not in Liverpool on 6th November.
Remembering the 'Something Else' footage, I decided to look into this further. With the help of Deb's archive, these pictures came to light, detailing the schedule for the 'Something Else' show. It was recorded on 23rd October, edited on 24th October, and broadcast on 6th November. Another check in the diary revealed that Deb was indeed at the recording!
Some YouTube clips, correctly identify the performance from the TV show, but it has been missed that these are one and the same. The supposed 'Liverpool' footage is a timecoded, unedited copy, that even has two performances of Tora! Tora! Tora! and Nodisco, further proof that this was not a gig. If you compare the footage, you'll see that it is fact the same performance. You will also see it credited as 'Something Else' on the 'Speak & Spell' remaster DVD.

1981-10-23 Something Else, BBC2, London, England, UK/Source 2

== Notes ==
A decent pro-shot video recording with acceptable quality throughout. This source, despite being the best version available at this time, suffers from a poor transfer.
This video is from a time-coded VHS tape. It is a working copy used by the BBC during the editing process. It is rumored that this tape was "borrowed" by an employee, and copies were subsequently made.
The audio has a constant ringing noise, but an alternate audio source is available as Source 1. The first 45 seconds of Television Set of that tape are messed up on that recording, so there's noticeable speed variation throughout.
Tora! Tora! Tora! and Nodisco are, strangely, performed twice at the end of the set list.
Depeche Mode Television Archives included the two broadcast tracks, Tora! Tora! Tora! and Photographic, as part of their TVA-81-1 DVD.
The video and audio quality is superb, other than a very loud ringing noise in the audio.
This recording is sometimes mislabeled as 1981-11-06 University, Liverpool, England, UK because that was the original broadcast date. Find more info at the main page for this date.
I am still working on tracking down a low-generation VHS copy of this tape, or at least one which isn't affected by the red and green lines throughout the video. Stay tuned!
