Ok this - like the other 74 recording I recently shared - is on the 'murky' side again.
But it's a good listen once you tune your ears to it, damn good performance! :)
Good version of All The Young Dudes, and the person who sent me the tape swears
by Big Brother being the best version from 1974 as the 'Bro-Bro-Bro' chant starts
at the exact right moment and that it was bodged on all other recorded concerts.
Rock and Roll With Me is sung very delicately, possibly Bowie was pulling out the
stops after the huge applause for All The Young Dudes.
There's a lovely piano intro to Space Oddity - a feature of the concerts at this time,
just a shame it's not a little clearer. Indeed Chant of The Ever Circling Family
does lead on very smoothly - and powerfully from Big Brother. Nice guitar on Time too
(with a pretty unique organ ending, too).
Lovely piano on Rock and Roll Suicide too.
