David Bowie 1972-07-08 Royal Albert Hall, London, UK(DAVROS315)





Welcome to my series of mostly uncirculated masters & very low generation shows that i recorded or
received in trades in my younger days most of my masters have not been circulated or only traded
once or twice i used to trade a lot in the 70s - 80s & i have many many shows well in excess of 7,500
tapes.
Of these shows about 120 - 150 are  my masters they where always on my trading list but not many
got traded so i boxed them all up in the late 80s now i have decided to go through them  & upload
some of them.
I recorded many bands from Genesis – Bowie – Springsteen  - Hawkwind  - Hackett – Gabriel –
Marillion plus many many others i will try & upload a least one  show a week if not two.
To record theses shows i used a Sony portable hand held tape recorder with built in stereo mics.  
I always used good quality tapes to record on mainly T.D.K.  
I used to insert the tape deck in a empty coffee flask with the inside taken out of the flask to get past
the security ah those where the days.
The only thing i ask is please don’t sell these recording & don’t convert to mp3 etc & if you do
( only for your own use ).  Please don’t change any of the files or info files etc this is so that people
can tell the difference between this source & other sources as many people like to compare different
versions of shows.
Also please do not remaster these shows the reason for this is these days there are far to many
remasters of shows. Its ok have one remaster etc, but some are remastered that many times by
different people there can be at least 10 different remasters of a show from the same source & it can
get a bit tedious.
PLEASE ALSO DO NOT UPLOAD TO OTHER TORRENT SITES I WILL BE UPLOADING
THEM TO MOST MUSIC SITES WHEN I CAN GET ROUND TO IT THE REASON FOR THIS
IS I HAVE NOTICED IN THE PAST SOME HAVE BEEN UPLOADED WITH FILES CHANGED ETC
DOING THIS CAUSES CONFUSION WITH THE TORRENT.
All show are RAW versions with little or no tampering with the sound

I have now up-dated my tape decks for transfering recordings from audio tapes to my PC. I am now
using the following decks
Either
Nakamichi 1000ZXL Gold Edition Or
Nakamichi Dragon

Both theses decks are considered to be the best Tape decks ever made both have auto tape Azimuth
Alinement which will be used on all transfers. Both Decks have been Up-dated and serviced by
trained Nakamichi specialists.
I have for the past 6 month been trying out and expermenting with theses decks and
they are well worth the money amazing sound ( And should be for the money they cost ).
All the tape transfers that are done through my Yamaha Reciever are done via the pure direct
button ( all the displays on the reciever and tape deck are switched off ). so there is then no
interferance via the electrical circuritry.    


I HAVE NOTED THAT SOME OF MY UPLOADS HAVE OR ARE BEING MADE INTO LPs SLIVER CDs ETC IF SO PLEASE STATE WHERE THE SOURCE HAS COME FROM
AND PLEASE GIVE CREDIT AND THANKS TO THE TAPER AS WITHOUT HIM THERE WOULD BE NO RECORDING TO BOOTLEG.

Known Issues

2. Track 2 is a bit muffered at the start this is on all known versions of this source but inproves after.
3. Track 12 has about 2 seconds missing about 30s from the end due to a tape flip on my tape.

Got this in the late 80s From a big UK Bowie Collector. This is a low Generation tape with very lettle hiss.
This was Lou Reeds 1st apperance on stage in the UK.
The quaility is about good to very good at times.
This is a excellent early Ziggy show with a excellent version of Amsterdam. Bowie is quite talkative during the show.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a write up about the show taken from the excellent "davidbowieworld.nl" web site

Kenny Everett is the host and introduces Bowie: “…you are about to witness the next biggest thing to God…”

This concert was organised by The Friends of Earth in order to raise funds to save the whale from extinction. Bowie was the main act of the show; he was preceded by Marmelade
and the jSD Band. The latter had had some sound trouble and when Bowie started this had not yet been resolved completely. On coming on Bowie says:
“I’m David Bowie and these are the Spiders from Mars,we can have a wonderful system in a minute but this is something about you” and Ronson bursts into Hang on to Yourself.

Bowie introduces the majority of the numbers in extenso ,but most of what he says is unintelligible. Andy Warhol he introduces with a long story about Andy Warhol being a New York
painter,and on Amsterdam. he explains that a Belgian wrote the song and an American translated it into English. The audience listen to Bowie’s words with great attention and in
complete silence. There is a surprise after Moonage daydream when Bowie announces Lou Reed: “He’s still playing and he’s now in England.and this is his very .very,very first apperance
anywhere in England.ladies and gentlemen:Lou Reed”
received with enthusiasm.and White light,White Heat,Waiting for the Man and Sweet Jane,All the three sung by Lou Reed,are given a big hand; yet the audience do not fotget it was
Bowie the have come for.As a matter of act ,Reeds singing is difficult to hear.
Suffragette City is played as extra and at the end of the concert the audience were presented with promotion posters and photographs.

This was a great concert and it got lots of reviews. All quite positive! The magazine Disc wrote: “David Bowie oust be coming up for the ‘Most Reviewed Act In The Shortest Time’
award.Each reviewer feels he or she has discovered something newtand probably has.Bowie and the Spiders cause compulsive penscraping”. Melody Maker:.

Many many thanks to the trader for sending me a copy & the person who recorded the show   

 
As Usual Please dont convert to mp3 ( only for your own use if you do ) Please Keep all the info files
md5 etc in the folder so that other collectors know which version this is etc and  most of all
DO NOT SELL.

PLEASE NOTE.

This series is from my own personal collection they are NOT SOURCED FROM ANY CDRs /
OTHER TORRENT SITES ETC.
They are from recordings that i traded for between 20 - 35 years ago on audio tape as stated above
they have all been boxed up for the past 20 or so years.
This is the first time any of them have been Digitally transfered and torrented. All i am doing to the
recordings in nero wave editor is inproving the volume ( if low),
also equallizing the left and right channel where needed. Removing hiss etc ( If i can ).
Recordings in this series that have a generation linage are the correct linage as to what i was told when
i was sent the recordings. Most of the traders i traded with where well known traders so i have no
reason to believe they are not the true Linage if i had any doubt to the linage at the time i did not
write it down on the tape so all the low generation recordings in this series have a well known and
correct linage.

Please do not remaster any of theses If you wish to do remastering of this source find yourself a
better quality version and remaster that.
This version is how i remembered hearing it all them years ago and how it sounded when it was
recorded the way it should be heard.

THIS IS FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS HAVE TO PUT THERE TWO PENITHWORTH IN
AND ARE NOT SATISFIED.
I PUT SAMPLES UP TO EVERY RECORDING I UPLOAD MOST PEOPLE 99% ARE SATISFIED
I PUT THE SAMPLES UP SO YOU CAN HEAR THEM BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD THEM IF
YOU DONT LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR ITS SIMPLE YOU DONT HAVE TO DOWNLOAD IT.
I OR OTHER UPLOADERS ON THESE SITES DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND TIME AND EFFORT
RECORDING THESE SHOW ON A PC ETC TO UPLOAD THEM  BUT WE DO AND DO IT
GLADLY SO THAT OTHER TRADERS CAN HAVE THE SHOWS ETC AND ENJOY THEM.
I HAVE NEVER SAID THE SHOWS I PUT UP ARE PREFECT IN ANY WAY BUT I DO THEM
TO THE BEST OF MY ABILLITY IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT DOWNLOAD THEM.

THATS MY MOAN FOR THE DAY SORRY LOL  
 
Please also buy the bands offical stuff and support them etc.
Thanks to all the Artists for there great music and to all the traders for keeping live music alive.
