The Sydney Show that is on vinyl was recorded on the 24th November, 1978. That gig appears on the Forever Yours bootleg. During the show on the 25th November they performed Rebel Rebel twice as Bowie felt the conclusion could have had more punch. As a bonus, Bowie sang a few bars of "With A Little Help From My Friends" as well as the jingle from the Beer drinking commercial "I Feel Like A Tooheys". It was the last show of his first Australian tour. He was really enjoying himself, as was the band it seemed. I was lucky enough to go both nights. Cheers, John. Hi Ken,

Could organise a tape for you but can't be sure of recording quality and the vinyl may have adopted a few pops and scratches over the years - haven't played it in a decade or so! Let me know.
