Wembley Empire Pool

Vinyl LP>TDK cassette

This is the notorious bootleg released by the BPI in a failed attempt to entrap a ring of dealers. Pressed by one of the BPI investigators and used in their sting operation known as Moonbeam, it was in fact a copy of an existing bootleg called Don't Touch That Dial released in Japan shortly after the concert. The vocals and bass tend towards distortion while the drums are quite quite and the keys and guitars are pretty clear. Having said that it is a good sounding audience recording for the era.

The performance is excellent and is great fun to hear, with Bowie in great voice and jovial mood (drunk again!) Tony Kaye really shows his class on this too. DB created the howling effect at the end of Diamond Dogs by standing on the edge of the stage and swinging his microphone Roger Daltry style in front of the PA stack to get the feedback on every pass.
