Great concert
The audience clap along with the last notes of Space Oddity ,and Bowie appears to like it ,for he says: “Do you wanna clap that bit again” and plays those notes again with the audience joining in once more ,When singing Young Americans ,Bowie refers not to Nixon,nor to Reagan,buL to President Lincoln!

======================
Processing:
1st gen aud cassette / cass transfer via Akai tapedeck GX-75 -> Magix Audio & Music Lab (edit/remaster) -> FLAC -> BowieStation
The recording has quite a good sound but some EQ was required to improve it. The first half of the recording has a better sound and thus the 2nd part required more EQ. Also the sound of 2nd part (especially at 3 last tracks) is partly distorted due to too high input level but still very listenable
Audience noise between songs was lowered. Also some sequences at the beginning of some songs were extremely loud and I lowered them as well to get a more even sound level.
