A very rare tape.
This was the first out of seven shows to be given in Scotland,and Bowie’s first concert following the débacle of Earl’s Court four days earlier. Now it was up to him to disprove all the negative reviews on Earl’s Court with sueh headings as “What went wrong?”,”Drive-out Saturday”, “Bowie fiasco” and “To see or not to see”,and convince the audience and the media that his show was OK. Many reporters were present,and just as the rest of the audienee,when they left the hall they were overwhelmed and fully satisfied,for Bowie had given them I,5 hour of nothing but fireworks. The fans werc hysterieal,the sound was perfect,and there was none of thc problems that had harassed Earl’s Court. Nor did any arise throughout the rest of the tour. In Earl’s Court Bowie had played 24 numbers ,about all he had in store for this
tour – 16,17 or 18,a selection from those 24,was what he usu­ ally played.

    1. Hi I have this gig, and I think this is the only one made by a taper,
      only is this a terrible recorded sound (SQ 4) This recording is intended for collectors and not to listen
      but ……. you must know yourself what you want.
      greeting

    2. Hi I am really desperate to get a hold of his recording of the Aberdeen music hall concert, I am a big fan and am currently working on the refurbishment of the Aberdeen music hall, can you possibly send me a copy?

    3. Hi, this is a terrible recorded concert, and I do not really give it to you because it just disappoints

      greeting

      How can I get this bootleg on CD? My dad was there and it’d be a great xmas present.

      Thanks in advance.
