Mediocre audience recording. Pretty distorted, but also pretty valuable, as it's one of the earliest recordings of Depeche Mode.

This primitive version of “I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead” has a very different arrangement and lyrics from the original one, and “Dreaming Of Me” has a unique drum track. Considering these, it is quite obvious that this recording has an earlier date than the Technical College and Bridgehouse gigs on April 2-6, 1981.

The first performance of “Television Set” had to be performed instrumentally due to a mic failure, and the song was played again at the end.
