David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known professionally as David Bowie... Plenty has been written and said about David Bowie today, I cannot add much more. Musically his work has been exceptional. As Beehive Candy is just about music, a few personal words on David Bowie the singer, composer and musician. Many years ago a friend managed to get me a ticket to see David Bowie at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon (UK). The following concert at Hammersmith, London, was sold out, the concert where David Bowie 'retired' his Ziggy Stardust persona. I can still remember that Croydon concert, the excitement, atmosphere and being right up the front for the encore and being totally absorbed in the moment.

David Bowie played the Montreal Forum, Montreal, Quebec, on the 07/12/1983, part of the Serious Moonlight world tour. Described as the early and late shows, this was in fact one performance with a twenty minute intermission in the middle. Band line up: David Bowie - vocals, guitar David LeBott - keyboards Lenny Pickett - saxophone Stan Harrison - baritone sax Steve Elson - tenor sax Carlos Alomar - guitar Earl Slick - lead guitar Carmen Rojas - bass Tony Thompson - drums Joyce and Kevin Simms - backing vocals This was a much recovered David Bowie, with Berlin and his well known cocaine problems behind him, and a superb band supporting him. The tour was a mix of the more commercial 'Berlin era' music, some of his greatest hits, and the then current, Nile Rodgers produced Lets Dance album. The early show on this occasion consisted of: Look Back In Anger 3:17 Breaking Glass 2:56 Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) 3:32 Rebel Rebel 2:27 Heroes 5:05 What I

This particular bootleg is known as - David Bowie - Strange Fascination 74. This is one of the few high quality recordings of the Diamond Dogs Tour of 1974. This one was recorded at The Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on the 5th of September 1974. Not much in the way of information for this gig, I am guessing it was an FM broadcast, very listenable throughout.
