David Bowie/GA, USA 1974

David Bowie’s 1974 live activities were full of changes. The final day of the tour, the Atlanta performance on December 1st, was a show that has become semi-legendary among enthusiasts. That’s because “Win”, which would later be included in “YOUNG AMERICANS”, was performed live only on this day. What’s amazing about Bowie’s vitality is that even though it’s the last day of the show, he still performs new songs on stage before they’re released. It’s certainly the result of letting the creativity flow fueled by cocaine, but it’s still surprising that they were able to release even more new songs in one day, the end of a year. Since it was such a historic day, only the highlight song “Win” from the audience recording of this day was included in past items as a bonus track, but if you are a fan, you can download the full-length version of the show. It’s only natural that you want to hear it. Therefore, this time we released it based on the best copy provided by the authority on Bowie research. However, there is a hiss noise throughout, and there are parts where there is slight skipping until “John, I’m Only Dancing (Again)”, and “Moonage Daydream” and “Knock On Wood”. Incomplete recording. However, it is worth mentioning that the clarity is sufficient, and combined with the appropriate sense of distance, the quality is very enjoyable for enthusiasts. Moreover, the entire show is a wonderful thing that can be called the completed version of the soul show from October onwards, and the rapid succession of performances is reminiscent of the soul revue stage. The composition of the soul repertoire scattered throughout the set, including “Footstompin’”, which became the prototype for the later “Fame”, is well-balanced, and what is interesting is that “Panic In Detroit” has been revived. There is no evidence that this song was played on stage in November, so it is valuable that it was featured again at the very end of the tour. When playing this song until July, Bowie is famous for wearing boxing gloves and singing while becoming a shadow boxer, but was that production really reproduced? You can’t miss the fact that he plays much slower and looser than at that time. And the performance of Atlanta’s highlight “Win” on the final day of the tour was breathtakingly wonderful. Bowie sings with plenty of emotion as David Sanborn’s glossy saxophone sounds from the intro. It’s hard to believe that the repertoire, which boasted such a high level of perfection for its live premiere, ended just on this day. It’s exactly the “one damn song” in the lyrics of “Young Americans.” This extremely rare performance, as well as the entire show, is a masterpiece that is suitable for the conclusion of Soul Mode 1974. The final day of the tour in Atlanta, which enthusiasts all over the world have been waiting for, is finally here!
