Taper: Elly A.
Generation: first
Transfer: ligushka (https://www.depechemode-live.com)
Cassette tape photos and auCDtectTaskManager log included

Notes: A good audience recording. The left channel is louder than the right for most of the concert. Some hiss is present overall, but it is not too jarring. "See You" through the end of the concert was quieter than the rest of the recording for some reason, so I normalized it again to -0.1dB to make the levels more even - this resulted in louder hiss for those tracks as well, however. Due to tape flip, "New Life" is missing the last few seconds of the song, and "Shame" is missing the first 35 seconds or so. Other than that, no music is missing from this recording as far as I know. "Leave In Silence" has some incorrect samples played at the beginning, and Martin sings "leave in silence" with a different inflection the last time those words are sung in the song.

Many thanks to Falko for generously lending me this cassette to transfer and master.
