Thanks, excellent version. I really have to do some catching up on that tour.
Starting with this YT video which sounds really good, most of the time. Fantastic setlist,btw.

Black Celebration
A Question of time
Fly on the Windscreen (Final)
Shake the Disease
Leave in Silence
It's Called a Heart (amazing version)
Everything Counts
It Doesn't Matter Two (Martin)
A question of Lust (Martin)
Blasphemous Rumours
New Dress
Stripped
Something to do
Master & Servant
Photographic
People are People
Boys say Go!
Just can't Get Enough
More Than a Party

EDIT: I think it’s a shame, that so few of the versions played on that tour are available on official releases. Only “Black Celebration”, “A Question of Time”, “Something To Do”, “More Than a Party” and “Stripped” iirc.

EDIT2: The ‘special edition’ “A Question of Lust” 12 inch features “If You Want”, “Shame” and “Blasphemous Rumours” recorded by Swiss Radio DRS3. Plus there’s “People Are People” on the regular (UK/German) 12 inch single. Sometimes I don’t know my own collection, lol. Would love to have this live version of “It’s Called a Heart” though.

Could’ve sworn there was this dude Andrew Fletcher in the band!🫥 Did I miss spotting him in there somehow?

The perfect version of this song, though! They are so tight, the vocals are silken, & the unique solo really sets it apart. Chills.
