This is a show everyone should have as a historical document. Unfortunately the quality is such that it is just that, a historical document. The show itself is a good performance all around, Bowie remembers just about all the lyrics (good for Rock N Roll Suicide). The taping crew is funny, belching into the mike during Be My Wife, and again weighing in during the band intros "appearing soon, the Gordon Stewart space band....." maybe Gordon was one of the tapers, who knows. Five Years suffers from some pretty decent warble, and Beauty and the Beast is shortened, as is Station to Station. So try to bear with the quality and enjoy this show for what it is, until something better hopefully comes along.
