1983-10-08 Hammersmith Odeon, London, England, UK

== Notes ==
Depeche Mode's final night of their three-night stint at the Hammersmith Odeon during their 1983-1984 Construction Time Again Tour.
According to the November 1983 issue of the Depeche Mode Information Service newsletter, this show was recorded for the British Forces Radio. Most of this concert was broadcast on BBC Radio 1 on 1983-11-26 (see BBC website here and here), and a stellar recording incorporating both a pre-FM BBC CD and FM master tape is available below. Unfortunately, And Then... and Boys Say Go! were never broadcast and do not appear on any promotional release, and as such they are missing from this recording.
Although "Work Hard" was scheduled to be performed at least once during their three-night stint at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, there is no confirmation whether it was played during this tour. According to the "fake" setlist below, "Work Hard" was definitely not performed on the third night.
The available audio recording from this date is confirmed to be from this date and not 1983-10-06 as was commonly thought for a very long time. The BBC Radio International catalog search page confirmed the date of the In Concert 320 pre-FM vinyl as being from October 8, 1983; see below for a screenshot. This is further evidenced by the fact that Dave gives a short speech before The Meaning Of Love to thank the road crew, since it is the final date of the UK leg of the Construction Time Again tour:

Dave: I'd like to dedicate this next one to all the crew, for being a great crew, and if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to do it. So thanks to all the crew. Okay, it's The Meaning Of Love!
Matt Fretton was the support act.
