JOE'S MEMORIES: 
In October 1972, I had been fortunate to have seen the Ziggy Stardust performance here, at the Boston Music Hall. Now, David Bowie was back and touring for the Diamond Dogs album. This show was quite a change from the Ziggy "bare stage" show. With an expanded band, set changes and David's costume changes, it was more like a Broadway show than a concert. This was the "Diamond Dogs Tour", but the stage production was referred to as "The 1980 Floor Show". David had "retired" the Ziggy character and was now back, in his latest incarnation, Halloween Jack. Everyone was looking forward to this show and  I was very lucky when I ordered my tickets and got 5th row Center Orchestra seats. Since we were able to bring cameras to concerts back then, I was able to get some really nice photos of the performance, but being so close to the speaker stack, my recording ended up being a little "bass heavy" in spots. The Diamond Dogs album had been released in May and the single, "Rebel Rebel" was in heavy rotation on the radio, 
as was the album track, "1984".  The album cover was controversial, at the time, for it's cover portrait of Bowie, with the body of a dog, having to be censored for the American market, because of it's inclusion of the male "doggie parts" in the picture. The concert showcased the Diamond Dogs album, but also contained selections from all of his earlier releases. There are too many details to list about this show, but there were a few highlights that should be mentioned. This show took place the night after Bowie and the band had completed their four day run at the Tower Theater, in Philadelphia, which ended up as the "David Live" album that was released in October 1974, so they were still performing at their best. One humorous moment in the show, was when David was doing the song "Cracked Actor". He was wearing a red velvet cape and aviator glasses and holding a human skull, as if he was in Shakespeare's play, "Hamlet". When he got to the line in the song that says "suck, baby, suck...give me your head!", he got on his knees and inserted his microphone into the skull's mouth. Another memorable moment, was his cover of Eddie Floyd's "Knock On Wood", that was followed by a haunting version of "Space Oddity", that had David elevated in a chair, on a small crane, to emphasize the isolation of Major Tom in his lost space capsule. And "Panic In Detroit" had Bowie, dressed up as a prize fighter, with big red boxing gloves. Besides the songs from Diamond Dogs and Aladdin Sane, there were Ziggy classics, like "Moonage Daydream", "Suffragette City", as well as other Bowie favorites, "Changes", "Width Of A Circle", "Queen Bitch" "The Jean Genie" and the song that saved the career of Mott The Hoople, "All The Young Dudes". The show ended with "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide". The audience was expecting more, but there was no encore. While the audience had hoped for one more song, we only got the Elvis-like closing announcement that "David Bowie has left the building!" What more could you ask for? Many Many Thanks To Joe.
