'On the 20th November 1983,  David Bowie performed his final Australian concert of the Serious Moonlight tour.  This Betamax recording was taken from a sight screen feed made at that time.  The first and last numbers have some deterioration with drop outs, and there was a small drop in Life on Mars? (which has been corrected in the separate upload of this song https://youtu.be/-AZ9Rv2ed10 ) and Station to Station. But, as it hasn\'t been viewed in 39 years, the quality overall has held up well. The audio feed was in mono and has been remastered as much as possible.  The Setlist is: 1 Look Back In Anger 2 \"Heroes\" 3 What In The World 4 Golden Years 5 Fashion 6 Let\'s Dance 7 Breaking Glass 8 Life On Mars? 9 Sorrow 10 Cat People 11 China Girl 12 Scary Monsters 13 Rebel Rebel 14 White Light White Heat 15 Station To Station 16 Cracked Actor 17 Ashes To Ashes 18 Space Oddity 19 Young Americans 20 Fame  Encore 21 Star 22 Stay 23 The Jean Genie 24 Modern Love  Story behind this video.  Back in 1983, I was working in a One-hour photo lab in Sydney and we would often have crew from the Sydney Entertainment Centre come by to drop off films to be processed. Over time I got to know some of the camera crew that were used to shoot the video that would be projected onto the sight screens at the side of the stage.  When Bowie came to Sydney, these guys were hired to do the same thing at the Sydney Showgrounds for his final two concerts. This was video only, as it was to be shown live on the side screens. However, I was told that for the final concert a Sony U-Matic video recorder was used to record the show and a basic mono mic was connected to capture the audio. This was for personal use only. When I was told about this on the following Monday by one of their crew, I asked if it was possible to get a copy. The guy said that I could drop by with a VCR and make one, which I did (but  with a Sony Betamax) the following day. Weeks later when I saw one of the crew and thanked them again, he told me that they couldn’t find the original tape and he thought it possible it had been recorded over (!!??) also, he didn’t think there were any other copies made. As such, I probably had the only copy in existence.  The tape has been with me for 39 years and I finally got around to getting it transferred to digital file recently. I have remastered the basic mono audio to bring it out as much as possible, but apart from that, the footage is as it was. I hope one day the tape can be restored to remove the drop outs and artefacts.  [email protected]'
