a local friend's tribute to Bowie.....
|
David Bowie July 2, 1974...my second concert ever.
Before the concert starts the announcer says: “Good evening. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. The concert you’re going to see tonight is not the show we had planned for you. Due to an unfortunate road accident, half of our stage scenery, costumes, lighting equipment is in a local swamp fifteen miles north of here. There was talk of cancelling tonight’s performance but David Bowie would not hear of it and insisted we go on in the remaining half condition. So, in a few minutes we’ll go on with the concert – thank you”
Before All the Young Dudes Bowie says: “Good evening Tampa. Well,we thought it wasn’t gonna happen,because as you probably heard we had a bad road accident and we’re still upset about it,but l’d like to thank you for being here”.
I personally didn't miss the costumes or stage scenery...
