Funnily enough I hitch-hiked from Leeds too for the June 24th gig, the Saturday night show. There were no trains after the gig had finished so if you didn't have a lift you were f***ed. Me and my mate huddled next to the hot pipes under the sinks in the Gents toilets at the station, it was a freezing cold night even though it was June. Some jobsworth twat kicked us out at about 4 in the morning. Some of that adventure I remember like it was yesterday. Thanks for posting.
i hitched there from newcastle! after seeing him 3 nights in newcastleand 4 in glasgow. we were so lucky - we managed to get into the after show party which was wild. was anuone else there?
holy crow, raven and Poe... this was the year I was born. How insane that this man has been making amazing music for longer than I've been on this planet. I've loved him since my teens and cant thank you enough for sharing this awesome stuff with us. I appreciate it ever so much. If I had a time machine, I'd be there with you, thumb in the air, still blissed out of my skull from having attended this concert. thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was there too. Still got my ticket. I remember it being bloody hot in there and we couldn't afford a drink. Horribly muddy queuing outside too. I'd never seen anyone play guitar like Belew though.....a revelation to me !
I was at both shows. I hitchhiked up from London and got there the day before and slept in the field next to the hall (an agricultural exhibition hall, as I recall). First in line, so I was in the front row. I decided to stick around and see if I could get a ticket to the second show. A tiny girl grabbed my hand and pulled me through to the front row AGAIN. Bowie recognized me and smiled. Amazing concert. Adrian Belew was phenomenal.
Where did you get this? I was there on the Sunday night my first ever Bowie gig It blew me away and I still have great memories of it even if I was only 19 at the time!
