RECONNECTED LIVE documents one of pop’s most anticipated tours: Vince Clarke & Alison Moyet reunited for the first time in over 25 years during summer 2008 and features classic tracks “Only You”, “Don’t Go”, and “Situation” from the album Upstairs At Eric’s. Fans can also hear “Nobody’s Diary”, from You And Me Both, performed live for the first time ever. The brief joining of Vince Clarke, who had just left Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet lasted only 2 albums, and saw them performing only 24 concerts worldwide, but boy have they left an indelible mark on pop music. Yaz released Upstairs At Erics in July 1982 then parted company just 12 months later on the release of the second album You And Me Both. The double cd and download are out 9/28.
