Okay, gang, this one has NO cue sheet with it, so we're guessing as to the broadcast date. I found a reference on the Internet in Billboard magazine for July 27, 1985 that lists an In Concert show for Katrina and the Waves for the broadcast week of July 29 to August 4, 1985, so that's a VERY LIKELY broadcast window. The recording date would have been earlier in 1985. Note that Depeche Mode is NOT listed in Billboard as being part of show.
Here's what Wikipedia says about the venue during the time this show was recorded:
"Avalon (or Avalon Hollywood) is a historic nightclub in Hollywood, California, located near the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, at 1735 N. Vine Street. It has previously been known as The Hollywood Playhouse, The WPA Federal Theatre, El Capitan Theatre, The Jerry Lewis Theatre, The Hollywood Palace and The Palace. It has a capacity of 1,500, and is located across the street from Capitol Records Building.
In 1978, ABC sold the theatre to private businessman Dennis Lidtke, who restored it and reopened it four years later with an abridged name, The Palace. The theater's audience seating area was removed. The audience raked floor was leveled to flush (same level) out from the lobby entrance area to the stage apron. Bands were located on the stage area. A double staircase was installed against the auditoriums back wall with an open arch which connected to the lobby staircase first landing, for balcony access, where tables and seating were arranged for balcony viewing of the band and dance floor below. One early production using the revamped facility was the 1983 Sheena Easton HBO concert special, Sheena Easton Live at the Palace, Hollywood. It was the venue for the performance portion of Bruce Willis' ACE nominated HBO special "The Return of Bruno," which was written and produced by Paul Flattery and directed by Jim Yukich.
Avalon (as The Palace) is featured prominently in the film Against All Odds.
The punk band Ramones played their 2263rd and final show here on August 6, 1996. It was recorded for billboard live for the album We're Outta Here!. The building has hosted the American Music Awards."
Here's a bit of rock and roll geography: The Palace was right across the street from the Capitol Records Building, which was designed to look like a stack of records on a turntable.

I originally identified Track 19 as being by Dexy's Midnight Runners. That was wrong. It's Oingo Boingo, and we viewed a vintage television commercial that proved it.
