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.

Known Issue - Please see below
I got this version in the mid 80s, There are quite a few faults with it but i think they may be on the orignal Master there are quite a few muffilled parts as though the taper was
covering the mic at time's (Possibily from Security). There are also a lot of clicks etc as though the taper was also having trouble with the mic's connector's. Also a lot
of audience noise.
Now the good news i have tried to lift the volume on the muffilled parts to equal the rest it as slightly improved it not much but a bit, when it is not muffilled 90% of the
show it is not to bad a listen about 6/10 (c+). So all in all if you like to collect differant source's and don't mind a few hick ups etc.
This is not the same source / recording as Uploaded to BowieStation as part of The Hunky Geordie Tapes, Vol 14 by steve23yh on 19th June 2015 which is a better source / recording.
I know another source that was also uploaded to Bowiestation it does sound very much the same as this but im not too sure if it is the same recording or not hence 2nd or 3rd source.
Now finally on to the show and what a dream show the first try out for the tour that offically started the night after at the same venue. Pity he didn't keep this set list thoughout
the tour as he dropped a few songs (Tracks 6, 7, 26 after the 5th show and only playing a few others now and again when playing 2 or more shows at the same venue).
below is some info on the show from the web site "davidbowieworld.nl"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The first try-out concert before the real start of the Serious Moonlight Tour.
In 1983 Bowie returned to the stage after an almost 5 years break, this time not as a cult artist,but as a mainstream artist. Having just released the million-seller “Let’s Dance”
combined with the fact that Bowie had not toured for so long guaranteed sell-out concerts almost everywhere around the globe.
Before the start of the Serious Moonlight Tour, Bowie and his band decided to do 2 try-out concerts,this is the first one. Basically, these try-outs were longer than the
normal tour concerts. This concert includes some rare performances of songs like “Wild is the Wind”, “Joe the Lion” and “I Can’tExplain”.
A few tracks were tried but then left out. David is not very talkative but the music talks for himself.
He hadn’t toured since 1978 so this was a big challenge. The tour was the biggest he had undertaken, bringing the band into four continents till December 1983.
News papers:
Three Dutch papers wrote about this concert,giving him much praise.
Three Belgian papers also glorified the concert,one calling it ‘one interminable orgasm’ (!), and: “This was unearthly. Bowie is god,in the unreligious sense of the word”.
A Swedish paper wrote “Bowie in tears after debut”,and,oddlly enough,there was one not-so-positive review.
A Belgian wrote: “Now everyone wants to hear from those present what it was like,well,good,excellent,amazing,but … no real exuberance,not the real joy of rock & roll really”.
I will not commenton this! !
Expectations of this concert ,the first after 4,5 years time, were sky high. Besides hundreds of – Belgian and foreign – journalists who had come to Vorst there were Bowie freaks
from all over the world.

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.
