The concert is a fine one,even though Bowie was extremely tired that night and didn’t show his full dancing programme. A minor error at the outset of White Light,White Heat: drums and brass do not come synchronic,but Tony Thompson offers a swift and effective remedy by holding up his drumming for a split second. The audience are thrilled and give off a perfect mass sound,especially when Bowie introduces the band.
” … Drums and backing vocals Tony Thompson. backing vocals and drums George and Frank Simms”. In Young Americans Bowie sings “All the way from Washington …. “ and naturally this tickles the audience to renewed cheers! When Bowie comes back for Modern Love he says “OK,we’ve got some … we’ve got a couple of you dancing on this one …” .
This was the last concert to begin with Jean Genie-intro-Star.
A perfect tape,almost as good as that of the previous night!

Notes
Left channel is shot for first 45 seconds of Let’s Dance. Right channel copied.
Inexplicable gap in Golden Years at 1:17-1:19. Let’s Dance repair from same lyric at end of song.
Another broken element straddling applause after Life On Mars? and start of Sorrow on left channel – right channel copied.
Left channel damaged again in the crowd noise after Cat People, and a 1 second piece at the start of China Girl – right channel copied.
Tape flip between China Girl and Scary Monsters – seamless.
Tape flip between Young Americans and Fame – seamless.
Encore break gap between TVC 15 (@ 4:01) and Stay – removed cleanly.
Substantial volume reprofiling required for Modern Love (way too quiet on source tape).
Sector Boundary Errors fixed with TLH.
