David Bowie
4 November 1987
Entertainment Centre
Sydney Australia (partial)
I found a 2CD compilation on a blog/list site consisting of tracks from soundboards of Ottawa 28 August 1987 (tracks 01-10), Sydney 3 November 1987 (tracks 11-18) and 4 November 1987 (tracks 19-26). A search of the dime bot list revealed no previous uploads of this show from Sydney on 4 November 1987. These eight tracks were presumably not the only ones recorded, and may not be in correct order, but the tracks have been edited to flow seamlessly with little time between songs. Here's hoping somebody can share the entire concert and relegate this to the banned bin.
Meanwhile, enjoy this superb taste of tracks 19 to 26 of a 2CD bootleg called Smiling Through the Darkness …
19 Young Americans - Sydney 4Nov87
20 The Jean Genie - Sydney 4Nov87
21 Let's Dance - Sydney 4Nov87
22 Fame - Sydney 4Nov87
23 Time - Sydney 4Nov87
24 I Wanna Be Your Dog - Sydney 4Nov87
25 White Light / White Heat - Sydney 4Nov87
26 Modern Love - Sydney 4Nov87
As far as my research could tell, none of this has been officially released.

… the original uploader said
"it's a good compilation, and the 4th November 87 tracks seem harder to find - from what I've seen - than the rest here."
If anyone has the complete recording, please dig it up and share it here!
