Again a lot of work to do with this tape. As the sound was a bit muffled I did some EQ mainly by lifting the treble.
Many cuts between songs with gaps to be removed. During Sorrow the sound was getting worse so I remasted the middle section separately.
After this the sound is nearly very good.



This seems to be the only available tape of this tour with the set of the Mike Garson Band as opener. After track 7 Bowie joins in with Rebel Rebel seamlessly.
It's one of the shows with Bowie having a flu ("When I come to New York I get a flu, well I got it again..."). This certainly has normalized in the meantime.
At this concert he played Foot Stompin' the first time. Otherwise nice show.
The recording was on dime before mainly with the same issues but my tape seems to have one more song from the Mike Garson Band and also Rock'n'Roll Suicide is complete
with the exception of a small cut in the middle.
