David Bowie/NY,USA 1976 Upgrade

Last year, the legendary masterpiece soundboard “Nassau 1976” was officially released independently. The highest peak sound version, which can be said to exceed the official version, is now available on CD. The representative sound board of “ISOLAR 1976 TOUR” was recorded at “March 23, 1976 Nassau performance”. This show was broadcast on the radio, and its soundboard recording is one of the classics that has produced many masterpieces since ancient times. In 2010, it was made official as a bonus for the “STATION TO STATION” Super Deluxe Edition, and in 2017, a standalone version was released as “LIVE NASSAU COLISEUM ’76”. One might have thought that the role of the underground was over, but that was not the case. As the joy of the official release gradually dawned, enthusiasts began to say that the radio broadcast version had better sound. “Panic In Detroit” is more than that. The official version was edited to about 6 minutes, but originally Dennis Davis’ drum solo was included. This work is a live album that has achieved the highest peak of such a radio broadcast version sound board. There are countless previous releases only on super famous sound boards, but among them, the one that is considered the best by enthusiasts is the master known from other label records. This work is based on the best version, aligning the song order with the actual concert, and supplementing “Waiting for the Man”, “Queen Bitch”, and “Life on Mars?”, which were not broadcast, with other superb soundboards. . Therefore, “Five Years” is not included and “Life on Mars?” is only halfway through, but all songs are different from the official “LIVE NASSAU COLISEUM ’76”. It is a piece that can be said to be the “back version of the official edition”. In fact, the sound is exquisite. The official version had a high sound pressure, probably because it was mixed in 2009, and had a modern sound with plenty of sound in every corner, but this work has a great sense of realism from the 70s. In the official version, only the core of the guitar and rhythm section seemed to be strong and pushing hard, but this work has a wonderfully detailed edge. Each instrument has a space to breathe, and the vibrations of the strings and leather are so realistic that you can see them. The snare also doesn’t have the sound pressure that pierces your ears, allowing you to enjoy a very natural ensemble. The same goes for Bowie’s singing voice. The official version is a mix that goes “even higher” than the already high-sound performance. Generally, it seems natural since Bowie is the main character, but because the emphasis is on the master-servant relationship, the singing voice itself lacks a three-dimensional feel, and it sounds like karaoke. On the other hand, in this work, Bowie is also part of the band. The feeling of the band standing on the same stage and interacting with each other in the ensemble is very real. At first glance, the official version features Bowie, but the three-dimensional feel of the scene and the real live feeling are overwhelming in this work. What is drawn with that sound is a show worthy of the legendary name. Speaking of the best soundboard of “ISOLAR 1976 TOUR”, “THE 1976 TOUR REHEARSAL TAPE” and “ROTTERDAM 1976” are also very popular, but in order to understand their relationship, let’s check their position in the overall tour picture. [“STATION TO STATION” released on January 23rd]・February 2nd – March 26th: North America (40 performances)←★Here★・April 7th – 17th: Europe #1 (8 performances)・4 May 24th – May 18th: Europe #2 (16 performances) [Production of “LOW” started in September] This is an overview of the “STATION TO STATION” era. “THE 1976 TOUR REHEARSAL TAPE” was the rehearsal for the first day of the tour, and “ROTTERDAM 1976” was the soundboard album of the final album “Europe #2”. On the other hand, the Nassau performance of this work is the 39th performance of the “North American” leg. Having toured the United States for about two months, the ensemble was incomparable to rehearsals, and yet the enthusiasm of the middle of the tour was still intact. Moreover, this work has a real sound/natural mix that even exceeds the official one. You can even feel the breath of the band. It is a masterpiece that has been called “a monumental show for Bowie” for a long time, but it is a superb stereo sound board that is vivid even to its subtleties. Even more decisive is “Panic In Detroit”. A masterpiece of a masterpiece that has been praised by Bowie core enthusiasts as “incredibly brilliant” and “the best live version ever made.” Stacey Heindon’s intro is called “Bliss”, and Bowie’s singing voice is also excellent. Dennis Davis is the one who brings everything to the table, despite his passionate performance. He has a long and varied drum solo, and the rap-like scat that pops out in the second half is amazing. It was never an intermission time, and the audience erupted in applause and cheers. The solo, which was completely cut in the official version, was actually the highlight of the show… You can fully enjoy it with the official barefoot high quality sound board. Although “Five Years” is not recorded and “Life on Mars?” is short, it is not as good as the official “LIVE NASSAU COLISEUM ’76”, but this work has a real natural feeling of the 70’s, and the highlight “Panic You can enjoy the complete version of “In Detroit.” It’s a “secret version of the official edition” and “another famous edition.” Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Uniondale, New York, USA 23rd March 1976 STEREO SBD The best source tapes for the Bowie Nassau 1976 show.
