Before the release of "I, Assassin", Numan left Britain to live as a tax exile in the United States. He supported the new album with an 18-date concert tour in America in October–November 1982 (his first series of live shows since his "farewell" shows at Wembley Stadium in 1981). No official live albums or videos have been released from Numan's 1982 tour. Numan recorded a second video for "We Take Mystery (To Bed)" during his stay in Los Angeles, before heading to live in Jersey where he began writing the material for his next album, "Warriors" (1983).
