David Bowie 1973-05-16 Green's Playhouse, Glasgow, Scotland

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


unknown gen tape TDK AD90 (Noggin) received from Steveboy

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

vg- sound after some EQ was done (some sound differences between songs were levelled). Running fast - speed adjustment with factor of 93% (thanks to steve23yh).

This recording is not bad even it is a quite high gen. And the good thing is that it is not only complete but also sound consistent all through (with the exception of the first track which cuts in and has a different sound during the first seconds).
The taper obviously had a good recording position and kept it for the whole concert. Still there is quite some hiss as I had to lift the higher frequencies but as I find very well listenable.
The show itself is really nice and has some great versions of Memory Of A Free Festival and Width Of A Circle. The total running time of 85 min. also proves that the band was in good mood.

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