Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in 1986.

OMD at Radio City Music Hall, New York, 19th November 1986

There are two versions of this, both from the same audience source. A lossless version that consists of 17 tracks and an MP3 version of 19 tracks. Both versions had been a bit 'butchered' with fades added to tracks and incorrect track-splitting. I have patched up the MP3 version and pitch corrected it, and is now a good listen. This is the one available for download. The 17 song version is missing Julias Song and Enola Gay. OMD were supported by the Models.
