The Tower I believe.

Could be L.A and on bootleg "Strange Fascination"

@seanissane While this very well could have been recorded at the Tower at some point, this is NOT the same track you hear on the first disc of "David Live". You can hear the difference in his first lyrical stanza: In this video, Bowie raises the word "city" UP a major 4th, as opposed to the CD, where he goes DOWN a major 3rd. You can also hear instrumentation in this video that you don't hear on the CD, namely synths.

David is a sweet thing!

He was extraordinary... I was raised on Hunky Dory, Ziggy, etc., a very different mood to this, but this gets me every time... there's a sincerity and a pain here that feels real and raw.

i cant believe how amazin and full the bnad sound,bowies voice when its on the edge of failing is the best he sounds man,,i listened to this album all the way through my teenage years and never noted the lyrical content-i was always happy just listening to bowies voice,and melody-theres no-one else like him.a total alien genius...i agree with wessys down there!! the messiah of rock n roll

I think these songs are basically a vignette concerning street hustlers (male prostitutes) told from the perspective of a very lonely fellow who's involved in this trade. The song pulses with the erotic temptation and lovelessness that go hand-in-hand with the dark world of money for sex.
