Depeche Mode - Off The Record Concert (December 3, 1981 - Nickelodeon Rebroadcast from July 2, 1983)

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 , and now exists as a DigiBeta copy at the Wessex Film and Sound Archive, although it hasn’t been catalogued in their online database. In the United States, this recording was broadcast by Nickelodeon, usually as a double bill with the band Talk Talk. 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. ********* ✅✅✅Канал с новостями про Depeche Mode, раритетами и живым чатом с поклонниками - подпишитесь: ✅✅✅Самый крупный интернет-магазин российского мерча Depeche Mode: ⚜️⚜️⚜️ #depechemode #dmfan #депеш
