I’d seen them earlier at the Colston Hall, Bristol.. but this was unseated.. and the band only a few feet away.. f**k ..loud and powerful Mick Ronson driving ..Bowie captivatingly gorgeous ..a much heavier sound than any TOTP appearance ..only Width Of The Circle on Man Who Sold The World sounded the nearest ..bizzare Edwardian seaside Glass Pavillion
