Bowie at Maine Road

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Ticket sales were poorish - so James were added to the bill late on and it sold out!

How can you have a top 50 Bowie songs without Five Years and Ziggy Stardust?

27 years ago yesterday Bowie played at Maine Road as part of the Sound and Vision tour, with support from James. I was a bit too young to go at the time (and think we were on holiday), but it looks like a great setlist. Any on here go?

Think I saw that tour at the NEC.

I do know Danny Betesh though.

You can't; unless you are an idiot.

Time was epic.

I did the Glass Spider one - my first ever concert.

Bowie came out of the stage roof and descended on a glass chair.

I also remember Alison Moyet and Terence Trent Derby as support acts.

Saw him in Tin Machine at the International. Unbelievable to be so close. I saw the lets dance tour 83 at the NEC then at MEN about 2000.

I was around and dont even remeber it being a thing. Bowie was not a big draw in the early 90's.

I didn't do that one but did the Glass Spider gig three years earlier.
Dropped Mrs sf off at Withington hospital so she could give birth to little sf and I went to the gig.
Seemed a waste to let two tickets go so rang up a mate and took him.

Got a few sour looks from the midwives when I returned after the gig!

This was mentioned at his daughters wedding speech!

I went, was 10 considering the date on the ticket, also a perk of my mum working for city and getting in free (:

I was sure it was the spider tour? He came down on a revolving chair if memory serves!

Edit: just saw the rest of the thread, didn’t realise he’d played twice!
