17. Round And Round
The recording consists of one file which has a major cut at approx. 40 minutes between The Jean Genie and Time. Time cuts in. There is a difference in sound between these 2 parts.
Part1 has a slightly better sound and the 2 channels are more balanced. Part2 has a higher volume where the right channel is much louder than the left one. Also there is some distortion and higher hiss than at part1.
I balanced the channels of the 2 parts and made some EQ as the original sound was a bit dull. Also I removed some gaps. The result is quite good and listenable. There are some smaller cuts at the intro and the start of The Jean Genie. After Round And Round there are some seconds of the outro before it fades out.
NOTES FROM THE TAPER - S Latham
It was recorded on a little portable Philips cassette recorder, hanging from my neck with the leather strap and I had the microphone running own the inside of my right arm.
I started recording as soon as the glitter ball descended and the opening music (from Clockwork Orange) played. It seemed to go on for ages so I switched it off and then put it back on as it seemed the concert was about to start.
It was tricky to do as it was a C90 tape so I had to eject it after 45 minutes but then turn it over, hopefully not putting the same side back in, then press the record and play button together.
All this was done underneath my coat without being being able to see what I was doing! I'd practised at home to make sure.
Yes, he performed two shows but I chose the later concert. While waiting in the queue, a friend came past who had just been into the earlier concert and she said that Bowie had walked off stage as there had been some problems. I think a piano had collapsed but whatever, he hadn't been very happy.
