| Notes: | Beggars can't be choosers. Despite being a serious fan, the one David Bowie tour Mike Millard didn't record was the 1976 Isolar tour in support of Station to Station. To the best of our knowledge, the only extant document of the three-show Forum stand is a partial recording of the February 9 show, pressed on the bootleg Wish Upon A Star. To that we add this previously uncirculated, complete recording of the same show, taped by Millard's friend Ed F. As we have written before, at the time Ed F recorded on lesser quality gear than Millard but still made what I consider very good recordings for the era and the equipment with some exceptions. Regrettably this is one of them. Ed's capture suffers from overloaded levels and severe distortion for much of the show, and the quality is further harmed by an overly enthusiastic audience that is often screaming near the microphone. The result is a muddled, challenging listen, that gets slightly better on quieter songs but is still tough sledding. Samples provided. That being said, it is a new recording of a previously unavailable full show, and as such has merit despite sonic challenges. We assume serious Bowie collectors will welcome its release, flaws and all. The set list for the show is also different from what's been listed on the Internet, with the inclusion of "Diamond Dogs" and the exclusion of "Queen Bitch." Thanks to Professor Goody for navigating the audio mire to come up with pitch adjustments and to mjk5510 for handling post production. We are most grateful to Ed F for loaning us his master tapes as well. BK for JEMS | |||||
