David Bowie 1978-05-18 Green's Playhouse Glasgow, Scotland

DAVID BOWIE
Green's Playhouse, Glasgow, Scotland
May - 18 - 1973, Evening

unknown gen tape Maxell UDI 90 received from Steveboy

cass transfer via Akai GX-75 tapedeck -> Magix Audio & Music Lab -> edit/remaster -> flac 16/44,1

g+ sound (partly g-) after some EQ was done (some sound differences between songs were levelled). In the last third of Width Of A Circle the sound gets worse which I tried to balance as good as possible. Also later in the show (especially at the start of Suffragette City) the quality drops.


In contrast to the matinee show the evening show is quite inferior in sound. Not only the overall sound is inferior but also the quality during the show varies. But maybe the biggest flaw is that the audience is permanently clapping and screaming and the taper did not have such a good position as the one in the matinee show (was it the same taper?).  

Some photos of that day from Glasgow are attached while it is not clear if they are from the matinee or evening show.
