David Bowie
Museumsplatz, Bonn, Germany
September - 27 - 2002


Matrix of 2 different audience recordings from the same show:

1. The English Presume received from jallaweb by wetransfer
2. A recording uploaded to MWP by bofinken57


Processing:
Flac files of 2 recordings -> transfer to Magix Music Cleaning Lab -> arrangement of matrix (remaster/edit) -> FLAC (44,1 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo) -> DIME

Both recordings are already vg+ (English Presume) and the other one ex-. English Presume has more bass and the other one more treble.

Both recordings were more or less incomplete as both had several cuts (sometimes very small ones).
The resulting matrix is now complete and the sound has more depth and dynamics as the single recordings.
I would even go so far to say that this matrix is soundwise now one of the best recordings of the whole tour.

But also the concert itself has quite some magic as Bowie is talking a lot and the atmosphere at the show was simply great.

I know it because this was the last time I saw the man. It was a very mild September night in the open air right in front of the museums.
The English Presume came with additional 4 songs of the soundcheck from earlier that day. This is attached here as well (quality vg).

A copy of the ticket stub is attached.
