(Audience FLAC) 

Ziggy live at the Rainbow 1972) both Edited/Uneditted Flacs

Recorded live at the Finsbury Park Rainbow Theatre 20th August 1972 (2nd Night)

Artwork: Included

Source: 
Audience recording: with the original Flac files grabbed from Mindwarp Pavillion as a guest user.

Sound Quality: 
8 to 8.5/10 or between Ex and Ex+

With regards to the sound if we all accept that Joe Maloneys recording from Boston on 01-10-72 is the best Bowie audience recording that there is out there, then in my opinion this is not quite as good as that, but only just. (So apart from Joe's recording from Boston it doesn't get better than this sound wise)

Notes:
A phenominal audience recording for the period; from the second night of the famous "Rainbow" shows, rumoured to have been recorded by a mate of Woody Woodmansey. There is a cut in "Width of a Circle", the discs had the missing section badly replaced by a section from the officially released "Ziggy Stardust - The Motion Picture", this I obviously removed. In my opinion this is as good if not better than the famous Maloney Boston recording and must rank as one of the best Ziggy audience recordings. Part of this show has been booted as "Rainbow Theatre" and complete as "Rainbow - The Magic Theatre", It is certainly an upgrade on both of these. The recording was also remasterd and torrented a few years back as "Up yours Reg" by Downunder2 (Steve), I haven't heard this but I'd be suprised if this is any worse. The running time is annoyingly just over that of a standard disc, how you wish to split it is up to you, the artwork suggest after "My death", I actually burnt it complete on a 90 min CDR (Be warned: 90 min discs will play on most PC's but not on most home stereos)
A big thankyou to Bofinken for the discs and Steve for the additional background info. If you have this show already, I'd love to know how it compares. If not, I know your going to enjoy this.
