David Bowie 1974-10-30 Radio City Music Hall, NYC (Not Sourced From Any CD Or LP) (DAVROS277)

 


Hi to all


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.

Tracks 1-6 Performed my The Mike Garson Band.

Got this in the early 90s. The quality is Good To v-Good at times.
Below is some info abou the show.


Information:
Bowie performs Footstompin’ for the first time on this night.
The opening act was the Mike Garson band, who played

An audio recording exists of this show which is commonly thought to be from 28 October 1974. However, David did not play New York on that date and in his book “People Stared At The Make-up On His Face”, Per Nilsen suggests that the correct date is 30 October.
This recording is the only one in general circlution known to contain the full set played by the Mike Garson Band prior to David taking the stage:

This is the only tape which also contains the pre-programme played by the Garson band:
– Announcement
– Funky Music
– You Keep Me Hanging On
– I’m in the Mood For Love
– Stormy Monday
– Love Train
– Memory of the Free Festival

“Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen” one of the lady singers says after Stormy Monday. “You’ve been lovely. I’d like you to know that we really have enjoyed perfor­ming for you tonight.We love you and we’d love to come back, and we will”.
At the end of Memory of the Free Festival Bowie is announced and the band starts playing Rebel Rebel. At the beginning of Sorrow Bowie says: “Good evening, thank you.
It is a pleasure to be here. I want to ask you something. When I come to New York,I usually get a flu. Well,I got it again as usually,so if I sing a little … like that,
I … but uhm … here it comes … Your long blond hair …” “This is the title song from the next album,it’s called Young Americans“ Bowie announces, and like the other new numbers
this number is received well. Rock & Roll Suicide is sung beautifully and at the endd of the song Bowie calls in a husky voice: “Hey, and you’re wonderful! Hey,and I’m wonderful! Yeah ,we’re all won­derful! All you got to do is win,when you’re trying not to loose …”
This was the first of a sequence of seven nights in New York and it is a great concert. However,not all the seven were as good: some of them started two hours late,
Bowie was overtired. Actually only the first and the last were good concerts. Debo­rah Swamback from Rome ,New York saw the concert on Novemver I: “It only lasted fifty minutes,
and tickets were $10.50 which was quite high a price back then,and my friends and I had tra­velled 250 miles to see Bowie,to return home imnediately after the concert.
500 Miles to see a fifty-minute show is a bit insane”.
The Concert in Cleveland, November 6,lasted sixty minutes. It was proba­bly Bowie’s exhaustion that started to get the better of him.

While still ostensibly part of the Diamond Dogs tour, this seven-night stand at Radio City Music Hall would present a completely different show, now referred to as “Philly Dogs”
to denote the tour’s drastic swing from proto-punk apocalyptic nightmare to r&b revue. To the confusion of fans dressed as Ziggy and Aladdin, Bowie had already ditched the
tour’s original concept — the elaborate set, which hadn’t fared well on the first leg, wouldn’t get farther than the West Coast — in favor of a band that included Robin Clark,
Ava Cherry, and a pre-superstardom Luther Vandross on backing vocals (the backing band also performed a seven-song set of r&b material to open the show). All of Bowie’s hits were reinterpreted through this soul-based filter, to varying results; reviews were overwhelmingly not positive. The band was great (with the addition of Carlos Alomar,
and David Sanborn’s role expanding due to the new arrangements), and the enthusiasm and desire was authentic, but there was just too much bombast. “Young Americans”
is introduced as being from the forthcoming album, recorded back in August at Philly’s Sigma Sound.

The Tour Band – The Soul / Philly Dogs Tour (October–December)
• David Bowie – vocals
• Mike Garson – piano, mellotron, music director
• Earl Slick – lead guitar

Hope you enjoy it.

If any one has a better quality version of this source or any other sourceof this show please upload or
let me know so that other can enjoy it to.


 I do not claim this version is better or worse than any other version in circulation  




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.
