Notes
Nitzer Ebb was the support act.

While we’re hanging out in the 80’s I thought I’d share another show from one of the decade’s biggest bands.  Violator was huge when I was in high school yet there was still some kind of alternative-ness to them (and that was even before alternative was cool.)  I don’t know how to explain that actually.  I look at it now and the album sold millions of copies, was all over MTV and yet there was this hipness to them, at least where I lived.  Maybe that was because a few of the popular kids at my school dug them before they had become huge and so when they did become huge it still felt like it was a secret.  Or something.

This is another weird type show in that I have never before seen a bootleg from these guys.  Honestly I can’t swear to the awesomeness of the show.  Not only have I not given it a big listen, 80s synth bands don’t tend to translate that well to concert recordings.  As my wife says “I’d rather hear the studio versions, they sound cleaner.”

If you love the 80s and you cant’ hear “Personal Jesus” enough, this shows for you.
