from Univ. of Maryland 1982 Yearbook [1]
Between September and October 1981 Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark embarked on a short tour of North America which took them from the West to the East coast, including one date in Canada.
The O.M.D. compilation album had been released in the US in August.
This was the second time the group had visited the US in 1981 after the Organisation tour earlier in the year.

Setlists[]
The tour took place shortly before the release of the Architecture & Morality album although, according to the one available setlist (Maryland Univ., 06.10), no new songs from the album were performed, except for She's Leaving which had already been performed on the earlier tour.
