I dunno if anyone here is old enough to rememeber 1981.  I know I'm not. :?

But....if I had to pick I'd say it's a toss up between: Vlissingen,June 26 and Sydney, August 17. 

Why those two?  Cos those are the only shows from that year I got! :P

Either Sydney or Palais St. Sauveur, both of which have soundboard recordings. I think Sydney's version of Faith is better, though, so if you've got to choose one, go with Sydney.

Here's my top three from '81

1981-06-03 Berlin

Hmmm...not entirely sure why I like this one so much.  Sometimes it can be just one or two songs that stand out or the vibe one feels while listening.

1981-08-17 Los Angeles
I do enjoy a really nice sounding audience recording and J.C. did one fantastic job on this one.   :smth020

1981-11-27 Glasgow
Great show with early versions of songs that would later appear on Pornography.  One of my favorite concerts.  :rocker

Palais St. Sauveur

Date please¿?

I have 13 shows from this tour, and my 2 favorites are:

1981.07.28 I Beam Festival in San Francisco, fairly good FM/Soundboard, but the best part is the interview at the beginning.

1981..05.16 Odeon Edinburgh simply because they played I'm cold that night...

You are correct.  8-17 is Sydney.  Another excellent show from 1981.
