This was one of Bowie's last tour appearances in the US. It is famous for being the show in which Bowie stopped in the middle of a tune (The Man Who Sold The World) and told a security guard to knock it off and then instructed the managers to replace him. The incident starts around 2:15 on the track. What a cringe worthy moment (at least for the guard for the rest of his life).

There is apparently another bootleg labeled "Holmdel Township" [Helden/Den-31/32] that covers this show but I haven't heard it. I added its artwork, however.

This was posted here in '05 in SHN but unfortunately it was wracked with errors: the WAV file headers were not canonical and there were extra RIFF chunks. These were all fixed. I re-encoded back to SHN (since that was the original uploader's intent) and generated a new md5 file. Otherwise, no audio or tracking were altered.
