egregious philbinWhat I'm listening to today: "Depeche Mode 1982-03-30 Rainbow Club, Oberkorn, Luxembourg (HQ video)."
The quality of this short live set from 1982 set has to be seen to be believed. It's a pro level recording, with multiple angles and audio right off the soundboard. It looks and sounds *incredible*, and captures a strange and important transitional era of the band. Vince Clarke had left, and the band was in the process of recording their second album (A Broken Frame) as a trio. And even though Alan Wilder was in the band (and performing with them here), he didn't participate on ABF, even though it wouldn't be released until the end of the year.
ABF is a terrific gem, one of my favorites, and this is a rare, uncommonly clear look into its era.
