Notes: Possibly the most important Bowie bootleg release since Strange Fascination, the show starts of with Hang On To Yourself on which Bowie fluffs the words a bit at the start of the second verse then its straight into Ziggy. Looking at the set list you be forgiven for thinking this was basically Santa Monica with a slight set change. Don't, the show is a lot more vibrant than Santa Monica, Bowie's voice sounding a lot stronger. On the third track Changes, where as at Santa Monica was the vocals sound strained, here its sung with much more vigour. The set follows the usual US tour set with rocking versions of the Supermen, Life On Mars, and Five Years. At the end of Five Years, he says ' OK I've been asked to ask the people who are' but then changes to 'I guess I should say good evening everyone', and then asks the people dancing in the isles to sit down. Then its into Space Oddity with repeating is performance at Santa Monica with the singing the instrumental break, and he adds a few extras to the end of the song as well. At the end of the song he asks the crowd 'What's been happening with you' says he's been touring round their country and that he's glad they asked him back, as it was also the fist show they did on the US tour. Andy Warhol comes next with which he adds the line Va Va Va Voom and a great bit of guitar work at the end of it. He then says this is the bit where the people with tape recorders must leave cause were going to do a new song. He then tells them where it was written and what its about, tells them its called 'Drive In Saturday' and works a lot better than the LP version with the guitar being strummed as opposed to playing the tune, after which he thanks the crowd. Next comes a huge 10 min version of Width of a Circle with Ronson doing a great Guitar Solo in he middle of it. John Im only Dancing next sounding like the single. Its then into Moonage Daydream which rock like anything, he then introduces the Spiders and also Mike Garson. Waiting for the Man next though it sounds as if its there's a slight cut between the Band Intro and this. He then introduces the Jean Genie as a number to release on RCA records and tapes, then its straight into Suffragette City. The show ends with him introducing Rock'n'Roll Suicide as one of Ziggys numbers. Where the Santa Monica set seemed to be aimed more for the radio audience and was split into part acoustic show, this is much more like the Rock'n'Roll' Roll show that it should have been. A word of caution, don't play it on your PCs CD ROM, with small it sounds shit but when played on a decent system it pisses on every other other Ziggy boots. Sound quality doesn't quite match that of Santa Monica but as that was from a radio broadcast its only to be expected. As Santa Monica is now out officially this must for now be the best Ziggy boot at the moment. Essential for all fans. However the Rainbow theatre show also released it may have to be content with the best boot of the US tour. Savage Hippo are really doing Bowie fans proud at the moment - keep up the good work guy.
