Comment: On Saturday 27 June 1981 Depeche Mode played a gig at Croc's in Rayleigh. The band had played at the venue a number of times over the previous nine months, gaining in confidence and professionalism on each occasion. However this gig was particularly special as they were to be filmed for ITV's series '20th Century Box'.

It took place just two days after their first appearance on UK national television when they performed 'New Life on 'Top of the Pops' which had just entered the top 40. This week was the turning point in Depeche Mode's rise to mass popularity.

Komentarz: Pierwszy Koncert po sesji nagraniowej singla New Life. Jednocześnie był to ostatni koncert w 'Krokodylach'. Klub który potem zmienił nazwę na Pink Toothbrush, ale to inna historia. W klubie tym zespół wystąpił 15 razy. Tak zapewnia Fletch.

Przypuszczam, że setlista była podobna do tego, co zespół grał w czasie lipcowych koncertów. Na pewno grali New Life ;-). Ich ówczesny singiel na szczytach list przebojów.
