It took a little while to hear anything on the tape, with all the screams and shrieks from girls in the audience.
That said, Harry Lounge (who I’d never heard of) has a good crooner’s voice. I found it difficult to listen to their first duet “Rebel- Rebel” w/o comparing it to the high octane version on Diamond Dogs, which I still own.

Harry provides the champagne, piano lounge Don Ho version of that song. Interesting indeed, even brave. But I still prefer David’s rock and roll take on it. It’s like using a gased up Maserati to slowly coast two blocks to the 711 and straight back home. You keep waiting for the driver to floor it.

I would love to hear someone confident on jazz piano do a take on “Aladdin Sane”. Mike Garson, the American, is who played it so well on that same album.
A SPECTACULAR improvised performance of avant-garde jazz as often heard in the 1960’s.
