shit sorry hairpoland, meant to give u thumbs up for the comment you made....sorry it made me smile, its amazing what goes on beyond the veneer of boring normality...
I was at this show and so was my (now) wife Christine Groves. Was absolutely brilliant - Dunstable Civic was great - saw The Who, Lou Reed, Canned Heat, Love, T Rex, Sex Pistols - all kinds of great bands. Up the road was the Cali where you could have seen Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac, James Brown, The Temptations, The Four Tops even The Clash Now there is nothing - shame for anyone growing up there if they like live music. Dave Underwood.
hard to imagine all these greats have graced the town of Dunstable when you drive through it now - real shame...nothing forthe kids now except Blockbuster and Gamezone...and this goes for most UK towns!
@knightofcydonia07 also i would add Joan Jett from female side : sexiest rock & roll woman from that time. the 70's had such great music and i don't know any band at the time that wasn't influenced and inspired by David Bowie

I have the black n white photo of this scene on th e'go down'...they cut it out in 1973/Oct. the 1980 floor show during 'Jean Genie' just watch it here in Youtube...ABC television would not allow the segment.
Dave did the guitar pick-mouth thing in the Midnight Special show, but it was not filmed.You will observe a break in the cam-shot while he goes down on Mick's guitar.
actually, this is a different show. he first went down on Mick's guitar at the oxford '72 show. then he did it in this white outfit again a month later then many times after that. just found out. haha
I've seen that picture and I absolutely love it! And Velvet Goldmine perform a re-enactment of it. I don't suppose you could tell me which video it is?
the only(california) CALI i knew (1967) was the one in dunstable,bedfordshire,england..l dont think my old ford zephyr mk2 would have made it to the other one in the states..lol
Tremendous old Ziggy footage.Listen to Waiting for the Man from the Santa Monica Civic release-its better than the Velvets original.! Should sync this one into the footage.
The songs are Sweet Head, a song from the Ziggy era which remained unreleased for many years, and a version of the Velvet Underground's Waiting For The Man.
yeah david has like always been bisexual, but kept it a secret alot. And he has always been a scrawndog [skinny] but hey! That's David. Just because you have no meat on your bones it doesn't mean your not hott! lol. And listen to his cute accent. :]
WOAHHHHHH That was pretty insane! I've seen pics of Bowie "going down on" Mick and his guitar, but never any video footage. This is almost as good. Hahaha.. dayummm.
Except for later on, when he declared that he'd been lying when he'd said he'd been lying about being gay to get attention. And then even later on, when he's been stubbornly vague on the topic since. I kinda like the evasiveness myself
no he was bisexual! He ahve said that he just wanted the press stop making fun of that and asking questions.. thats why he said he was not gay but he is.. well that is what he have said later.. but h's BIsexual
Again this was the meaning of life, as portrayed in real life, except the Idiot of it all who was carelessly awakened by Jeanettes´s ancient good-morning greeting to the only heart I knew.
..what song were they ACTUALLY playing? seems faster? or has the footage been fiddled with?
and im loving the bowie version of waiting for the man, it still has the consistency like a train going along, but in a completely different way from lou and the velvets version
The first song is Sweet Head. As far as Bowie's sexual escapades in the 70's, who cares? He was, and is hot as hell. I wouldn't mind being in Mick Ronson's place in this bit.
Yes, he is not gay, but in that period he was like on discovering-sexuality period of his life, he admitted. Like he went away by the clubs that were trendy on that time, that in fact, were clubs where the gay comunity join. So it was sort of trendy to be gay. (Velvet Goldmine movie kind of comment)
Whats up with Dunstable? This was at Queensway hall a great music venue.The walls were round and at the back you were hit by the sounds. Now sadly gone and replaced by a chavvy food store.
I saw The Spiders twice in 73. Jan 5th Greens Playhouse in glasgow, then in May at the same place which by then changed its name to The Appolo. This just brought back loads of memories.
(it's also kinda funny too, because Ronson was supposedly quite conservative and shy... i wonder what went on in his mind whenever he was wearing makeup, shiny tights, and had Bowie humping his leg. "dear god I hope my mum's not watching!" ? lol.)
That was probably the single most epic thing I've ever seen.
