Prior to playing “Drive in Saturday,” David asks all of the tapers to leave as he is about to play an unreleased song
“I’d been asked to ask the people who have …. good evening everybody ….Then I should ask if people who were standing could sit down.I’d appreciate it and a lot of other people would. Thank you . I’m sure you will.”

uch is Bowie’s popularity now that the Cleveland Public Hall is used for these two concerts rather than the smaller capacity Music Hall, which was used for the first Cleveland concert. Both the Music Hall and Public Hall shared the same back-to-back stage. Both halls are still being used today.

=============================
In detail I did the following:

1. Frequencies around 1 kHz reduced, low frequencies around 60 Hz boosted
2. Sound level of quiet passages which I found too loud reduced and a number of other sound level fluctuations evened
3. A bit of hiss/rumble reduction (also at lower frequencies), always in mind that too much hiss reduction is resulting in a loss of some frequencies and thus sonority
4. Pseudo stereo effect generated
5. Smoothened the cuts as much as possible

I know that at the end what I did is all relating to my subjective sense of sound but nevertheless I hope that you will like the result.
At the end I tried to come a bit closer to the Santa Monica show sound while the show here is certainly the superior one apart from the sound.
There is still another remaster of the show on BowieStation made by Neil Wilkes which you may also like: https://www.bowiestation.com/torrents-details.php?id=2339
I made some cover layout which you can find attached. The photos are made by Joe Ray Skrha but they are from the Sept. 22 show.
