1981-11-06 University, Liverpool, England, UK

== Notes ==
A nine-track recording is often attributed to being from this concert. It is actually from Depeche Mode's performance on the television show Something Else. Although recorded on 1981-10-23, it was broadcast on this date, resulting in the confusion. 
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.

== Notes ==
Blancmange was the support act. 
Andy Fletcher told fanzine 'Improvisation' in February 1982:
"Actually we met The Human League, they came round to our dressing room in Sheffield. And I think they're alright, but it was really funny to see them. The two girls are really like Hilda Ogden out of Coronation Street, "'oo 'eck, 'oo 'eck", one of them was worse. They came back to our hotel, that was quite funny as well."

1981-11-10 Raquels, Basildon, England, UK

== Notes ==
Tim Michael Williams, a Basildon photographer, says: 
"First on the bill were 'Film Noir' from Basildon and this was their first live performance. 'Film Noir' included Robert Marlow and Perry Bamonte. [...] Film Noir played about 6 original songs this night while including a storming version of the 'Velvet Undergrounds' 'White Light, White Heat'. [...] When Depeche Mode finally came on stage at 10.00 pm the girls crammed against the safety barriers in front of the stage went wild. This was a new experience. [...]"
Robert Marlow remembered in Jonathan Miller's 'Stripped':
"It was quite funny, because Vince said to just ring up this promoter, who was a real cowboy of a fellow, and he said, 'They've already got Blancmange supporting them.' I said, 'But Vince said we can play,' and he said, 'Well, you can play, but you won't get any money for it.' In the end, Vince gave me the money - 50 quid, it was. But that wasn't important; he'd asked us to play, so we went on before Blancmange, and then it was Depeche Mode. It was nice for me. I really enjoyed supporting them. I played guitar and we had a synthesizer player; Perry [Bamonte] was playing bass, and we had a tiny [Boss DR-55] 'Dr Rhythm' drum machine - one of the programmable ones. It was good; we went down well. Blancmange were excellent - I'd never seen them before; they were really, really good, and they were nice guys as well. The Modes were themselves, but Vince was quite withdrawn and not very happy. It was quite funny. Vince had a dose of diarrhoea! They'd been on tour up and down the country for a while, and so I think he was happy to be home. But I remember going around his flat during the day for a chat and he said , 'It's alright; I've been dosing myself up with syrup of figs. Silly arse."

1981-11-11 Top Rank, Brighton, England, UK/Source 1

== Notes ==
An excellent audience recording, highly recommended and enjoyable to listen to.
Any Second Now is missing some of the beginning, Puppets fades in, missing the first few seconds, and there is another fade between Tora! Tora! Tora! and Just Can't Get Enough, but luckily no music is missing (just some audience noise). Otherwise, this source is complete.
During Dreaming Of Me, someone played too early. Consequently, the backing tape came in too late, which threw off the band's rhythm.

Blancmange was the support act.
On December 12, 2016, I contacted Lighthouse (Poole Centre for the Arts) inquiring whether they might have any recording of Depeche Mode's performance on this date. I received the following reply the next day:
Unfortunately we do not record performances and are therefore unable to help you with your request.

1981-11-15 Lyceum, London, England, UK

== Notes ==
Tim Michael Williams, a Basildon photographer, says:
"First on stage were Palais Schaumburg from Germany. A band ahead of their time, they cut across traditional song structures and challenged perceptions with a nod to dadaism and the industrial Avant Garde. Positive Noise were a bunch of guys trying very hard but delivering very little. Their main keyboard player had no less than 3 synths on his keyboard stand while Depeche Mode had only one each. Immediately forgettable, it proved it isn't about kit, its about the songs. The two piece Blancmange, Neil Arthur and Steven Luscombe were the most sparse but considered of all the support bands and proved themselves as serious contenders with an extraordinarily thoughtful, melodic and powerfully delivered set. Depeche Mode gave another note perfect flawless performance."
Dan Silver said in the documentary for the Speak & Spell remaster DVD in 2006: 
[...] "Actually, talking of memories, those two nights at the Lyceum were awesome. And I remember pulling the promoter and the hall manager into the venue and pointing at the rear balcony and saying, "Can you see how much that balcony is moving?" Because, it was bouncing up and down, because the kids were bouncing up and down at these two rammed shows. Huge success."
Support acts: Palais Schaumburg, Positive Noise, and Blancmange.

1981-12-03 Chichester Festival Theatre, Chichester, England, UK

== Notes ==
This was Vince Clarke's last concert with Depeche Mode. 
This promotional show was filmed by Southern Television, on the behalf of the newly formed broadcaster Television South (TVS). A slightly edited version of this show was broadcast by TVS on 1982-01-18 David King on the Missing Episodes Forum, a fourm dedicated to the archival of English television, and now exists as a DigiBeta copy at the Wessex Film and Sound Archive, although it hasn't been catalogued in their online database. David King speaking on the Missing Episodes Forum
In the United States, this recording was broadcast by Nickelodeon, usually as a double bill with the band Talk Talk. The broadcast from March 25th, 1984 is the only time where this footage was shown independently. Both the video footage and demuxed soundboard audio from the concert, reportedly sourced from a Nickelodeon rebroadcast on July 2nd, 1983, are available to stream and download below.
Although the video is labeled as a rebroadcast on July 2nd, 1983, this program was actually broadcast several times between July 1983 and March 25th, 1984, with July 2nd, 1983 likely being its premiere date. A list of broadcast dates can be found here, courtesy of the Nickstory Archives.
In Jonathan Miller's book Stripped, Vince is quoted about this gig as saying "I did loads of speed and then I drove home."
Poet John Cooper Clarke was the support act for the entire Chichester Festival.

1981-12-03 Chichester Festival Theatre, Chichester, England, UK/Source 1

== Notes ==
A good soundboard recording of the last concert with Vince Clarke. This version has significantly better quality than previous copies available. This audio is sourced from a Nickelodeon television broadcast on July 2, 1983.
The audio is quite hissy, and for some reason, the first 50 seconds of Photographic are significantly quieter than the rest of the audio. However, this audio lacks the overpowering and distorted bass present in the previous source.
New Life is missing approximately a minute, and I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead lacks the middle instrumental bridge. It seems that these portions were removed from the broadcast and were not a result of the taper pausing.
You may find the video that this audio was extracted from at Source 2.

1981-12-03 Chichester Festival Theatre, Chichester, England, UK/Source 2

== Notes ==
A very good pro-shot video of the last concert with Vince Clarke. This version has significantly better quality than previous copies available. This video is sourced from a Nickelodeon television broadcast on July 2, 1983.
This Betamax tape was an eBay purchase, which cost $19.99 (pre-shipping). Also contained on this tape is a performance of Duran Duran In Concert At Hammersmith Odeon, Thompson Twins Side Kicks The Movie (1983), Public Image LTD, On Radio 1990, and Talk Talk in concert.
The video quality, considering it's sourced from a Betamax tape, is quite good; however, it does exhibit some color bleed and horizontal white streaks, often referred to as 'meteors'. The audio is quite hissy, and for some reason, the first 50 seconds of Photographic are significantly quieter than the rest of the audio. However, this audio lacks the overpowering and distorted bass present in the previous source.
New Life is missing approximately a minute, and I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead lacks the middle instrumental bridge. It seems that these portions were removed from the broadcast and were not a result of the taper pausing.
You can find the audio extracted from this video separately under Source 1.

1982-01-20 Crocs, Rayleigh, Essex, England, UK

== Notes ==
This was the first concert of the 1982 See You Tour, and the first show with Alan Wilder in the line-up.
Andy Fletcher said to Stephen Dalton in 2001:
"Even when you make a lot of mistakes and think you've been terrible, they don't seem to care. They don't come up and say, 'Great gig' any more either. The music aspect has gone. At Crocs they didn't even clap for us to come back; [they] just stood and waited. All they want to do is watch you. We've become an event."
Jonathan Miller cites a review from the 'Bionic 'Barney's' Bumper Fun-Book' in his 'Stripped biography:
"Eventually Crocs was absolutely packed with people wanting to see Depeche Mode with their new member. The audience was surprisingly varied, ranging from the very normal to the very punk to the near naked! By the time that Depeche Mode came on at 11:30 everybody had almost forgotten they had come to see a band, and so they were given a lukewarm reception. The songs were played as well as ever, but the band did not look too happy or enthusiastic. The music had everybody dancing, but nobody seemed very bothered about an encore. All in all, the music was very good, but the atmosphere wasn't. The Basildon concert at Raquel's was far better."
Wilder commented in response to being asked if he felt nervous when he appeared on-stage with Depeche Mode for the first time in an interview for Bong magazine: 
"Not extremely, but it was mayhem at Crocs."Source: Bong 16, April 1992 - ASK ALAN
== Set list ==
The set list below is an inference based on the set list of concerts later on in the 1982 See You Tour. It may be that the first few concerts with Alan Wilder in January 1982 were shorter concerts like 1982-02-10 BBC Paris Studio, London, England, UK. It is also questionable whether The Meaning Of Love was performed this early.

1982-01-22 The Ritz, New York, NY, USA

== Notes ==
Andy Fletcher said in the 1982-09-16 issue of Noise magazine that this concert was very much sold out:
"We played the Ritz recently in New York. 300 people were turned away."
Daniel Miller said the same in the sleeve notes of the 2006 remastered CD of A Broken Frame, stating: 
"[Depeche Mode] played at the Ritz club in New York in January 1982, their first American show, which was fantastic and absolutely packed. Most of the people at the gig had come from out of town and they were cool young kids."
Moby has said here that he attended this gig. In 2015 he said on his Instagram account that his favourite Depeche Mode song "Any Second Now" was played at this concert. We don't have any other evidence to dispute this, so the setlist below might be incorrect.
They said in the May 1982 issue of Good Times Magazine:
Dave: "Yeah, we had some reel problems Friday night, the opening night at the Ritz. They charged $11 to get in. $11? That's far more than they charge for a major gig in England. If we had anything to do with that price, it wouldn't have been nearly as much. We are scheduled to play at the Hammersmith Odeon when we go back, and the tickets are two pounds fifty and three pounds fifty. That's less than half the price, and we are much better known over there."
Fletch: "We had soooo many problems, before the gig, during the gig... plus none of us knew what to expect. But it turned out a lot better than we expected. The audience was great, for the most part. You have a lot of people who are really into English music, which I found strange, I mean with what they play on the radio around here. These people seem really American. They strike me as being more patriotic than English kids. A lot of people wanted to talk to us, but no one asked for our autographs, they just wanted to chat."
Andy Fletcher recalled in 2001: "[Alan] came to New York [with us] – I remember, it was so funny. He had a little jacket on and a woolly scarf and I think New York was minus 40 degrees.”
Dizzy and the Romilars was the support act.
