  On October 25, 1982, Depeche Mode performed a live show at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, during a pivotal moment in their career. This concert occurred shortly after the release of their album "A Broken Frame," which was their second studio album, released in September 1982. This period marked Depeche Mode's evolution from a synth-pop band to a darker, more complex sound that would characterize their later work. The live recording showcases not only their early hits but also the burgeoning stage presence of the band, which would grow significantly in subsequent years. Notably, this concert exemplifies their early use of synthesizers and beats that laid the groundwork for their influential role in electronic music. The energy and engagement of the audience reflect the band's rising popularity and establish them as a significant act in the early 1980s music scene.
