This CD was unavailable for many years. It is superbly remastered with fantastic classics, the best being "Station To Station", "Heroes" (a rousing guitar piece) and all the "Ziggy Stardust" classics. If you've ever wondered how a slow song like "Warsawza" could have ever been good in concert - just take a listen. It's hypnotizing! This double CD used to be tough to find, but this new remastered editon is fantastic - it is a welcome addition to Bowie's 'live' material. The addition of "Stay" and "Be My Wife" are more than welcome!
Aside from the fact that this tour recording captured Bowie at his finest "stage" of his career (with his best touring band by far), it also should serve as a blueprint for further re-releases from singers or bands of the era.
The re-mastering is extraoridnary and blows the old RCA vinly and even the Ryco reissue out of the water. Restoring the original running order of the songs is also a bonus as is the two tracks never before released......Dennis Davis was a monster drummer and Adrian Belew was so far advanced for his time it's scary-wonderful to listen to his playing now.
In short this is like a time capsule which allows you to go back in time to 1978 and listen to one of the worlds most influential artists at arguably his creative peak backed by one awesome and compelling band......all in state of the art digital sound circa 2005.
I can't say enough about this album. Simply the best.
