David Bowie/OH,USA 1972

The “ZIGGY STARDUST TOUR” shines brilliantly in rock history. It is a legendary tour that anyone who loves rock wanted to witness on the spot. The best audience album that will make that dream come true is now available. This work contains the “November 25, 1972 Cleveland performance”. It is a concert that has been known for its recordings for a long time and has produced classics such as “VA VA VA VOOM” and “ZIGGY’S IVASION OF AMERICA”. This work is not a copy or remaster of such already released groups, but an upgrade master that has recently appeared. Before we get to the sound we are interested in, let’s start with an overview of “ZIGGY STARDUST TOUR”.・January 29, 1972 – September 7, 1972: UK #1 (56 performances) ・September 22, 1972 – December 2, 1972: North America #1 (26 performances) ←★Here★ ・December 23, 1972 – January 9, 1973: UK #2 (8 performances) ・February 14, 1973 – March 12, 1973: North America #2 (16 performances) ・April 8-20, 1973: Japan (9 performances) ・May 12, 1973 – July 3, 1973: UK #3 (59 performances) 182 performances in total. Although he had performed in France, Italy, and the United States until then, it was the first large-scale world tour that Bowie, who had been mostly active in the UK, performed. This work is one of the first half of “North America #1”. Speaking of the apex recording of this “ZIGGY STARDUST TOUR”, the performance in Japan “TOKYO 1973 2ND NIGHT (Wardour-170)” has been honored as the “World Best”, but this work is comparable to that masterpiece… no, it is a super masterpiece that may surpass it. As mentioned above, the recordings that have already been released are also standard, but the freshness of this upgrade master is amazing. There is a few seconds of tape deterioration and cut at the beginning, but the musical sound is thick and direct like a sound board. In fact, even the already released recordings are famous recordings that were circulated as sound boards in some places, but the freshness has been improved to an incomparable extent. The cheers that rise up between songs stop abruptly during the performance, just like a mixed radio broadcast. It is impossible to imagine that “Bowie, who is creating history” is recorded so intensely and beautifully… The truth of the historic “ZIGGY STARDUST TOUR” depicted with such a sound. This is already overwhelming. The ensemble of THE SPIDERS FROM MARS led by the great Mick Ronson is the magic of 70’s rock, and Bowie’s singing voice is the charismatic “Ziggy” itself. It’s not just a character acting, but a realistic singing voice that makes you think someone is possessed… You can enjoy it with 100% real sound that feels like it’s right in front of your eyes. Of course, this tour has the official masterpiece “LIVE SANTA MONICA ’72” (and its upgraded version “UK ADVANCE/PROMOTIONAL CD”), but this feeling of being “right in front of your eyes” and the sense of reality are incomparable. This is a record that makes you feel even the obvious thing that a dream-like live performance actually existed. In addition, “Drive-In Saturday” from “ALADDIN SANE”, which was not heard even on the official masterpiece, is played in an acoustic version. At the time, the masterpiece was in production, and it was not released until 1973. Although this day was not the premiere, it was a very early performance that had only been tried out at a few shows. The performance itself was exciting, but in the MC before the song, he said with a smile, “It’s a new song that has just been written. Nice to meet you, bootleggers.” A heartwarming and amazing “smell of the scene” blew out of the speakers. The rare rock charisma “Ziggy Stardust”. In 1972, he swept the world and performed a new song that he had just written. This is a live album that allows you to stand at the scene and stare at it. This is a miracle that contains the full show with the best sound, including “Drive-In Saturday” which was not included in “LIVE SANTA MONICA ’72” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide” which was supplemented at other shows in “TOKYO 1973 2ND NIGHT”. This is already a cultural heritage. For everyone who loves Bowie and rock. We will deliver this historic excavation. Live at Public Hall, Cleveland, OH.
