"Good evening Madison, it's a pleasure and privilege to play here. Thank you for having me."

Bowie clearly enjoys playing here, and the response he gets, hence the above accolade during When You Rock n Roll With Me.

Like with the recent New York 73 gig, this is a minor re-work...indeed less has been done here, simply a little widening of the
sound. It involves double the signal in Audacity and widening the picture. The original is out there for those who prefer
'untouched' recordings, but this sounds better to my ears, and very good in headphones.

"This song is for girls...[ ] ...I don't write many love songs", he annouces as Can You Hear Me starts.

The gig ends with Bowie announcing before playing Rock N Roll Suicide -

"It's the first time that I've been here, and I'm coming back!
You're so sweet

Time takes a cigarette..."

Towards the end of the song he adds -

"oh I love you...[ ] you're wonderful,

I bless you, I love you, thank you.

I'll see you again soon, I mean it!".


Beautiful....and the audience are ecstatic. Puts paid to some of the accusations of him being cold and detached!


It's a very good quality recording, so enjoy!
