Another great San Diego performance captured by Keith Mautner.  This was the band's first US performance in 1986 after playing around Europe all year.  The cassette was dated October 30, 1986, but the Internet agrees that the show took place on Halloween, October 31.  E.g., http://www.neworderonline.com/live/Concert.aspx?ConcertID=136  

The recording itself is very loud and direct.  Give Blue Monday a few minutes for the crowd to settle down.  The levels peak around -6dB, but raising them makes the music sound forced and is tiring to listen to.  Use the volume knob, instead!  

Enjoy!
