Although this was a good concert, the atmosphere was not optimum during the first half of it: it was too quiet,not the enthusiasm one would have expected. But after the interval there was plenty of atmosphere. Station to Station this time did not begin with the accelerating,jerking sounds of a train, but it started straight away with Earl Slick’s solo,and during the rest of the tour this was to be the routine . “Thank you so much,A very good evening to you! It’s good to be back here”.Bowie say’s after Space Oddity .and he gets an offering of roses from the audience.
The first of a body of ten concerts given in the UK. There was a tremendous black ticket market; tickets sold at £40 to £80! Of this concert I have already found five different versions,but there must be many more. These tapes were simply sold to the audience on the 2nd and 3rd night in Wembley. When Bowie heard of this he got mad; therefore at the other British concerts the guarding was much more intensive and strict.

Notes
Light hiss removal using iZotope RX2 denoiser tool.
Running too fast, speed correction with factor of 98%.
Tape flip between Life On Mars? and Sorrow – seamless.
First four bars of China Girl appear to be missing (though very well disguised) on source tape, left alone.
Break between Scary Monsters and Rebel Rebel. Fade-out/in, but both very slightly clipped.
Tape flip between Young Americans and Hang On To Yourself – seamless.
Damage to left channel on TVC 15 @ 3:20 – repaired from right channel.
Two gaps in the encore break between TVC 15 and The Jean Genie removed – crowd noise only.
Small gap at the start of Modern Love – which takes out first two bars of the intro.
The tail end of Modern Love is quite scruffy, with dull sound and then some tape crumple – all on source tape.
Sector boundary errors resolved using TLH.
