David played three dates in Perth (the 4th, 5th and 6th) in 1983, but the 4th is the only recording available.
I think it has long been quite rare because it's never mentioned or rated anywhere.
Despite this I love it because David is in excellent mood and delivers great versions of the songs, especially 'Star' I think the best I've heard from the entire tour !
This was probably recorded with a 90mn tape, so that explains the cuts. Its sound is of average quality, though very listenable, I'll let you rate it...

David Bowie World Convention 1983
David Bowie - 1983 Souvenir Serious Moonlight Tour
Amazing times in Perth back in the 1980’s.
We had the Catering contract for all the Big bands who played there.
David Bowie was there for the Let’s Dance tour Nov 4th -8th 1983.
He had just returned from the Pacific after starring in the movie, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
We catered for meals 3 times per day for all the back stage set up crew who worked 3 x 8hour shifts – also fed the band members over the 4 days.
My special memory is when David Bowie walked up the back steps and asked if he could join the crew for a “Roast Dinner”… and I was lucky enough to get his autograph on the only thing I had handy – a white paper table napkin.!!
He was just delightful when I asked him for his autograph.
