“Good evening Salisbury!” the announcer calls out,“during the course of this eve­ ning’s performance there will be a ten-minute interval,and at that time you can buy the offi­cial programme,T-shirt and posters of course, they’ll all be onsale outside in the foyer. Are you ready for Bowie?!” and the audience respond with hysteria “Yeah!”. “He’ll be with you in five minutes”. The Beethoven intro starts while the announcer is saying: “Welcome to the fan­ tastic and successful world tour,including the United States of America,Japan,now his home country the United Kingdom – DAVID BOWIE!”,then the concert begins.Then the tape proceeds with the yelling for an extra:“We want Bowie,we want Bowie”
Bowie returns on stage, talks a lot,not all of it can be under­ stood though: “About a year ago,January last year,we had audiences that were very much like you,and that we … rock bot­tom,and it’s very nice to play for you tonight ’cause we think you’re great. Mick thinks it’s great. Personally I think I’ve broken my ankle (Bowie was on top of the PA and jumped down. When he landed he twisted his ankle hence the comment that he had hurt his ankle). No not really,but it hurts a bit,and we’d love to do a couple of numbers from that period when we were working,and this is a song by a very talented songwriter,I think probably one of the biggest songwriters of the Seventics called Lou Reed. This is one of his tracks,one of his very firs songs, and it’s called White Light White Heat. “If you wanna make this next one work,you’ve gotta work together, ’cause I’m gonna do this one sitting down. This is an old one by Chuck Berry,and it’s called Round & Round. After the song he receives thunderous applause and he says “We have to go now”,making it clear to the audience that there is no point in going on calling for yet another extra! “It’s been a pleasure playing here tonight”.
There is some confusion over this and the Newcastle tape: many of the copies are identical,but the fact that the announ­cer says “Good evening Salisbury” would imply that this is in­ deed Salisbury; there is also a genuine Newcastle tape though!

    Definately Salisbury. Bowie was on top of the PA and jumped down. When he landed
    he twisted his ankle hence the comment that he had hurt his ankle. This was my first ever concert.

    ======================
    Notes

    iZotope RX2 denoiser to remove hiss.

    Cock-up during Hang On To Yourself, and accidentally deleted 5 second segment from 22-27 seconds. Replaced with patch from second chorus. Seamless.

    Tidied-up three gaps in announcement at the beginning.
    Two snags in tape in Watch That Man at 2:49 and 3:16. Former replaced with patch from first chorus, latter left as is.
    Gap in Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud at 2:13. Already faded, so just joined.
    Tape tangle at 23-24.5 seconds in All The Young Dudes. Removed, fade-out/in.

    A number of tiny gaps and tangles in Moonage Daydream:
    1. 1:54 – tangle, brief, left alone.
    2.3:17 – gap, removed, fade-out/in.
    3. 3:35-3:37 – tangle, messy but left alone.
    4. 3:40 – gap removed, fade-out/in.
    5. 4:03 – gap, removed, fade-out/in.
    6. 4:09 – tangle, removed, fade-out/in.
    7. 4:38 – gap, removed.
    8. 5:20 – gap, removed, fade-out/in.

    Changes also has a number of tiny gaps and tangles, and also covers the tape flip:
    1. 0:06 – gap, removed.
    2. 0:24 – gap, removed.
    3. 0:59-1:00 – tangle, removed.
    4. Tape flip – joined @ 1:08 – no break in music, but substantially poorer sound after join.
    5. 1:12 – 1 second tangle – removed.
    6. 2:00 – tangle – faded sound (brief), left alone.
    7: 2:32 as above.
    8. 3:04 – cut, with some music lost – on source tape, left alone.
    Note that at 3:28 the original sound quality is restored (no action on my part!).
    9. 4:42 – gap in chat between songs – removed.
    10. 4:49 – tangle (crowd noise only) – removed.

    Post-encore, after Changes, long duplicated section, removed.
    Gap in Round And Round at 1:46 – removed with minimal impact.

    1. Yep definitely Salisbury City Hall.
      I was there with mates. I was 15 and this was also my 1st ever gig.
      I returned to the City Hall with my wife on 14th June 2013 – 40 years to the day that I first saw Bowie; luckily the staff were setting up they stage and kindly invited us in to see. Quite emotional to see the place again and reminisce.

    2. Definately Salisbury. Bowie was on top of the PA and jumped down. When he landed
      he twisted his ankle hence the comment that he had hurt his ankle. This was my first ever concert.
