‘Almost’ introduced as
“Another old B-side”.
|
Bemerkungen:
|
This
gig is incorrectly dated and the venue is almost certainly wrong as well. OMD
did play this date/venue but as support to Gary Numan. It is unlikely that 15
tracks were played as support band. The date does not tie up for a 1980
performance.
