An audio recording exists of this show which is commonly thought
to be from 28 October 1974. However, David did not play New York
on that date and in his book "People Stared At The Make-up On His
Face", Per Nilsen suggests that the correct date is 30 October. This
is the only known recording which contains the full set played by
the Garson Band prior to David taking the stage.

The Vancouver Sun 17/09/74 reported… “Glitter rock star
David Bowie won’t keep a proposed Oct. 11 date in Vancouver
because he can’t make the engagement without flying, and
David just hates to fly.”
