David Bowie
Oval Cricket Ground
Adelaide, Australia
November 11, 1978

Some think this may be a Vocal Monitor Board recording, however there's an audience presence here,
leading others to believe this to simply be a very good close up audience recording.

"Speed Of Life" LP rip ( DAVROS027 )

A Goody Speed/Pitch-adjusted Remaster


Original comments by Portlandbill:
When I aquired this recording from a different source and listened to it I was taken aback by the quality of what I was listening too. As there are not too many 1978 recording's around of decent quality I made some enquiries to Steveboy as to whether this was genuine or not.
He sent me back this recording which turned out to be an even better copy to the one I had. At the same time I had forwarded my older copy to
Neil Wilkes who confirmed that it was most probably a Vocal Monitor Board recording.

So I present to you a DAVROS Vinyl rip, unabridged or unchanged in anyway "The Speed Of Life"

DAVROS'S comments:
Welcome to my torrents of shows taken direct from some of the 1000+ bootleg LPs that I have collected over the past 35 years.
I have kept the running order of the shows true to how they appear on the LP.
I have not altered the recordings in any way except De-clicking where it was needed.
I have kept them has Side 1 - Side 2 etc. but made the transition seamless where possible between the different sides if you play the whole file in a player like
foobar2000 etc.
