5. Stay
6. Waiting For The Man

Notes

iZotope RX2 denoiser tool to dehiss.

Running too fast - speed correction with factor of 92%

Fair bit of rebalancing of volume levels, which were all over the shop.
Cuts out at end of Stay.  Gap before Waiting For The Man removed with fades.
Cuts out end of Waiting For The Man.  Gap removed.
Cut between Panic In Detroit and Diamond Dogs.  Cuts into the latter, slightly.
Tape flip @ 43 seconds into Rebel Rebel.  Join is clean, but sound quality on second part is initially poorer than the start.

Also on the same tape was the Linus Band set, allegedly from a couple of days later.
I toyed with including this, but decided not to for two very good reasons:
1. Generally agreed that it's a fake, and Bowie's not present on the recording, and
2. It's absolute shite.

Tape flip between Fashion and Scary Monsters.  Very tight and clips start of latter.
Tape flip between Time Will Crawl and the band intro.  First few seconds after flip way too loud - reduced to around 60% and clipped worst out.
Tape flip between Fame and Time - encore break crowd noise only.
Further four gaps in crowd noise of encore break, all removed.  Final one clips start of Time.

Notes

OK, this one's a little different.  Ruud upped the version of this from the double silver on 13th Feb 2009; which in turn was taken and torrented on dime by tvc15_it two years later (which is where I got it from).

Immediately I listened to it, I was taken by what good quality it seemed to be, but hidden under an unbelievable layer of thick hiss.  Out came iZotope RX denoiser tool.
Sure enough, it's very clear underneath the murk.  Hint of tidal sound on first side (eccentric tape at some stage in the past), but it's beautiful on side 2 (Width Of A Circle onwards).
Sector boundary errors checked using TLH, but no amendments required.

Gap in the crowd noise in the false ending of Breaking Glass!  Removed, OK.

Tape flip at the start of Beauty and the Beast - seamless
Abrupt start to Fame (indicating old edit or stopped tape) is on source tape
Extra erroneous beat in Star intro (sound blip) successfully removed

Station To Station does cut out before the end.
