Sheffield History Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 DEPECHE MODE LIVE AT THE LIMIT CLUB SHEFFIELD 1981-02-03 Limit Club, Sheffield, England, UK From DM Live - the Depeche Mode live encyclopedia for the masses Notes This concert was part of the 'Some Bizzare' evenings run by Stevo Pearce. Eric Random (assisted by Stephen Mallinder as the mixer) and The Loved One were the support acts. Fletcher and Gahan remember this gig and the Leeds gig in the 1981-10-24 issue of 'Look In': Andy: "Sometimes I don't enjoy gigs. Up North it's such a struggle. They're different to Southern audiences. They don't react because they don't know our stuff. They go wild at the end though." Dave: "I think it's just the way Northern people are. They listen to it more, take it in more. But in London they just go mad from the start!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
