A Fine Concert :
As with most tapes of the Ameri­can tour one can hear a great deal of the audience,probably because those halls are so big. After the intro of the band Bowie says: “And I am Your …..(something unin­telligible – “crawl fromroage”?) … .. ,and this is your world,as it turns”. The balloun bounces over the heads and hands of the enthu­siastic crowd who cheer when on and off Bowie laughs durihg Young Americans. He sounds quite cheer­ ful and lets the audience sing “Break down and cry” ,maybe to save his voice a little?
The audience loudly cheer the bright light spotlights shining into the hall during Fame and at the end of the song Bowie waits a long time before saying “What’s your name” so that the band has to
repeat the last notes as often as six times. In Jean Genie Bowie sings “Detroit’s a go-go” instead of “New York”. A fine concert.
