Audience tape of unknown generation received in a trade back in the 80's




Rec. Info:
Cassette of unknown generation -> transfer via Onkyo tapedeck TA-2330 -> Magix Music Cleaning Lab (remaster/edit) -> FLAC (44,1 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo) -> DIME
As with most of the Bowie tapes I received in the 80's there were a lot of sound level fluctuations, cuts and differences in sound quality which had to be mastered.
Nevertheless most of the recording has quite a good sound after some EQ (lifting bass and treble). The 2nd part of the tape was quite muffled and had to be remastered
separately (unfortunately the "snow" is quite present in this passage). This had to be done also to a small part of Moonage Daydream. Some songs are incomplete as they cut in or out.




Quite a rare recording with mostly very good sound. This is one of the last "Diamond Dog"-tour concerts before the more soul oriented "Philly Dog"-tour concerts.
Band line-up see below. The only other upload of this show I've seen is by steve23yh on mindwarp. This features John I'm Only Dancing after Rock'n'Roll Suicide which is
missing here. In return on this tape there is a short band introduction after Rock'n'Roll Suicide on this tape which is missing on the steve23yh upload.
