Depeche Mode: LIVE

This is my collection of Depeche Mode Live Shows & other rare stuff. They vary from as early as 1980 up to the last tour in 98.

LIVE AUDIO SHOWS


ATTENTION!! I am also looking for The Cure and U2 bootlegs! I will trade anything I have for them also, so if you have shows of either DM, U2, or the Cure, I will trade for them too.

I am on a desperate hunt for versions of the song "Faith" by the Cure from their 1989 prayer tour. mp3 or cd is fine with me...If you have any or know where I can find them, please help me!!!

MY RATING SYSTEM:
---9-10+: Excellent Audience - Perfect soundboard recording. Soundboards are usually 10, 10+ means they are definitely soundboard and in my opinion, perfect. They can be less than 10 however, depending on the generation or clarity of sound. Similarly, Audience recordings can be 10 but never 10+, if they are spectacularly clear and crisp sound picking up all of the instruments, I will give it a 10. DM's Anaheim '98 show is a perfect example of this.

---8-9: Good-Excellent Audience. The average audience recording i usually give between 8.5 and 9. If the volume is quiet I'll give it an 8.5 but if they are good quality and reasonably loud I will give it a 9.

---7-8: Fair-Good Audience. Bootlegs that are listenable, but not by much. I try to stay away from anything less than an 8 unless it is super rare (i.e., DM - Brighton 86 w/ Here is the House)

---Below 7: Trash. Sounds like a fart with strings. I don't think I have anything this bad in my collection, but if I do, remember this rating.

RECORDING SOURCES:
---Perfect Soundboard: Could've been released officially it's so good. Crisp sound and you can hear all of the instruments perfectly. These don't come around too often.

---Excellent Soundboard: Very close to the above, maybe a radio broadcast. Excellent and perfect are basically the same, but I have to reward perfection when I see it :)

---Very Good Soundboard: Shows where maybe some instruments are hard to hear. I usually give these to older shows (because of technology or newer ones done poorly). These are just shows that aren't as loud or clear as the excellent and perfect soundboards. May be difficult to tell that it is a soundboard the first time you listen.

---Fair or Good Soundboard: The soundboards that are either really quiet or unclear, maybe because of being a poor broadcast on the radio, or a few of the instruments/vocals are not heard easily or even at all. The birmingham 86 portion of DM's 'See the Stars' is a perfect example of this.

---Excellent or Outstanding Audience: Very clear, could be mistaken even for soundboard at times. Hardly evident that it is an audience, very listenable.

---Good or Very Good Audience: Obvious that it is audience because of distortion or absence of some sounds (bass is too low or too heavy), but still sounds good and very tolerable.

---Fair Audience: Barely tolerable, sound is distorted and hard to listen to. One or two vocals or instruments cannot be heard at all.

---Poor Audience: Like I said above for the "Below 7" rating, a fart with strings. This you can barely even hear any music over the crowd, or all your hear is people singing instead of the band.
