    Incredibly dynamic pressing. Belew, the DAM trio, and everyone else in the band sounds great. I will say, I prefer listening to the Welcome To The Blackout live album when wanting to experience the Isolar II tour, but this is still fantastic.

      This is a beautiful live album and nice US pressing. The sound is analog warm and natural.

        This came out when I was 17 and it's really the record that made me a Bowie fan. Got the 3 disc reissue the realized I needed the original. Beautiful Sterling pressing which I think needs just a little top end boost in the EQ to sound truly "live." An essential record in my collection.

          Sounds amazing. I’ll probably be seeking the reissue because I found out it has extra songs (just like the other 70s compilation David Live). But this sounded great. I wasn’t expecting this since the reviews weren’t kind but forget them.

          Also, sides 3 and 4 I think are supposed to be sides 1 and 2 (and viceversa) in the original concert. I’m not sure why the original release was sequenced like this. Either way sounds great.

            Sounds really really really good. I purchased a clean used copy and was blown away compared to hearing this for years from digital media. Also got a nice little surprise bonus of an actual photo of DB taken at a concert that was taped to the inside gatefold by a probably adoring prior owner. Props to ya!

              This is my favourites pressing of Stage. There is more clarity than the first UK pressing but with equal amounts of weight. Sounds fantastic.
