OMG, he is the coolest person IN THE WORLD. I mean, who else can make me squeal after hearing the weekdays being recited? Come on.
Oh, I love him.

If you remember, if you were there ... Bowie had been away, 'retired' for a while ... this was the return ... for the start of the gig, the stage is totally black. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, a single spotlight and in it, Bowie himself, with the line ... 'The return of the Thing White Duke, throwing darts in lovers' eyes ...' Anyone who was there, the world changed at that moment. I was fourteen, it still sends a shiver down my spine to recall it.

@ivan007 I was there and won't forget it - sitting in the dark waiting - then like magic in that light beam was this elegant taaaalll Bowie and the only white things were his shirt and him. Wow, some striking entrance and I was just thinking I wouldn't have missed him or the '70's for anything. Just an incredibly exciting decade that will never be replicated.

THIS SONG WAS NOT WRITTEN BY DAVID BOWIE BUT BY FRENCH SINGERS JACQUES DUTROC AND JACQUES LANZMANM IN 1966

Love the video...I was at the Vancouver concert; it seems really weird to see this rehearsal video so many years later. That was such a good time.

@ivan007 I remember Ivan! I was 15.. He toured in 74 didn't tour in 75,. Came back in 76 March 17th I recall with this staging and persona. Different but exciting as always!
Can't bring these days back.

@GaryWhite I watched the show in Vancouver and remember that it was great. I couldn't recall if the lead guitarist was Earl Slick or not but now I know! Thanks.

The black and white film shown before each Thin White Duke Tour performance in 1976 was produced by Salvador Dali - its most memorable scene was that closeup of a straight razor cutting a live human eyeball - it looked pretty real! I'll never forget that scene.
