Bowie had laryngitis that evening, but there are few indications of this in his performance. (Note that during “Aladdin Sane” he tries to avoid the high notes that gave him some problems during the early show.)

review BRAD WHEELER – The Globe and Mail
June 16, 1974, at O’Keefe Centre (first of two shows):
“The most spectacular rock show I have ever seen,” crowed The Globe’s Robert Martin, who has seen a few. Mr. Bowie sang Big Brother from what looked to be a space capsule. For Space Oddity , he played the doomed Major Tom swung out from a tower on a cantilevered chair on a hydraulic boom. Virtually all of the songs in the 20-song set were, according to the reviewer, “mini-drama, three-to-five-minute stories told in song, dance, mime and special effect.”
