g sound after some EQ was done (some sound differences between songs were levelled). The first part of the show is better in sound than the rest which means that for the latter one more EQ had to be done to create a more equal sound.
Original tape transfer and upload by steve23yh here: https://www.bowiestation.com/torrents-details.php?id=1564.
Steve23yh put the focus on hiss reduction I decided to apply a high degree of EQ to get an as good as possible sound while at the same time allowing the herewith created hiss.
As it is a higher gen tape copy most of the higher frequencies were lost. When you recreate them this is always accompanied with hiss creation. So please consider this remaster as an experiment which will demand a lot of tolerance from you while listening to it.
But for me this is still the better way than to have a dull sounding recording where you can't make out details. For your judgement I have attached 2 samples. So it is up to you if you download the show. 
I made the experience that after some minutes of listening the hiss will get more and more in the background and the remaster is quite enjoyable.


The show itself is very nice and it includes the only known performance of This Boy by Bowie and the song sequence is quite different from other shows. Also it is the last known recording of the British leg of the 72 tour before he went to the US.
Unfortunately I found no photos of the show but only a flyer announcing the August & September shows from 72.
