Very nice audience recording, well taken care of through the years and expertly converted for digital listening. It does have one major flaw, unfortunately -- there's a tape flip during Station To Station and the sound quality isn't as great for the three-song encore. Kind of disappointing but but you probably won't ever get a better copy and for the whole tour this might be one of the best audience recordings there is, at least overall. It is what it is and most of the show can be incredibly enjoyed. Seems like perhaps the vocals are a little distant sounding at first but they also seem to improve as the show goes on. Energetic and sounding great, this is a very good '78 listen for Bowie! Up through the tape flip flaw, I give this about a . . . maybe a 9.4 out 10 for a good solid A grade.
