David Bowie/Aichi, Japan 1973

The legendary first visit to Japan during the “ZIGGY STARDUST” era. Therefore, we present to you the audience album of the treasure “April 12, 1973, Nagoya Performance”. First of all, let’s take a look at what position this work is in among all 9 performances. ・April 8th, 10th, 11th: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall ・April 12th: Nagoya City Public Hall [This work] ・April 14th: Hiroshima Postal Savings Hall ・April 16th: Kobe International Hall ・4 April 17th: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall / April 18th and 20th: Shibuya Public Hall In this way, this Nagoya performance was the next concert after the 3-day Tokyo performance and before the Hiroshima performance of the main press CD. Bowie, who has long been known for his preference for Japan, actually met a Japanese audience in Tokyo. Both he and the audience had just begun to get used to each other, and we met again in a new location. This Nagoya performance was a concert for a long time with no records found, and even the set list was unknown. However, in recent years, on-site recordings were suddenly discovered. This work is a master traded among core enthusiasts. The sound is also rich in vintage feel. It feels like it’s a bit loud at the beginning, but as the show progresses it gets better and better, and it’s very easy to listen to from around “Changes”. Furthermore, the second half after “Space Oddity” changes into a wonderful sound that is clear and almost like “HIROSHIMA 1973”. The live performance with that sound is also comparable to the Hiroshima performance. Unlike Tokyo, which had a large cultured population, the innocent and enthusiastic cheering was so refreshing. Although he is the same kind of listener that is typical of Japanese people, there is a sense of “on-site feeling” that makes Bowie’s every move come to mind in the roaring voice that suddenly rises during the song. And you can also see Bowie’s way of singing, who learned the “Japanese way of listening” after living in Tokyo. The reason why they are able to get used to Japan one performance at a time, one song at a time, is probably because it is their first visit to Japan. Concerts in Hiroshima and Nagoya that are secretly loved only by core enthusiasts. This is a document set that conveys both days with a vintage feel and a sense of the scene. Two performances where you can experience for the first time the “World of Bowie” and “The World of ZIGGY STARDUST” spreading throughout Japan. Please feel the beginning of a happy era for “Japan and Bowie” even more deeply. Kokusai Tenji Kaikan, Nagoya, Japan 12th April 1973 (76:07) 1. Ode To Joy Intro 2. Hang On To Yourself 3.
