Ziggy Stardust was always my favorite David Bowie period, he and Mick Ronson had a great chemistry, the whole band had a great look. I was around 14 in 73 and remember thinking "wow, what's this" when I saw a news segment on him ( people were freaked out about him a little) for an upcoming show at the LA Forum in S Cal. Wished it would have lasted a little longer.

Angela as Wonder Woman fell through, but Bowie and the remaining two Spiders from Mars (Ziggy had famously disbanded the group in July 1973) went through with it and filmed the oddly-titled "1980 Floor Show".

It’s really Bowie mentor and instructor Klaus Nomi that deserves the credit. He’s responsible for all great bands of the 60’s 70’s and 80s. His pen was in every song all of the big bands wrote . Especially Bowie. David Bowie said in almost every interview “ Klaus Nomi is the only reason I’ve achieved success in any way.”He deserves all the credit for Bowie and so many more success. And he reviewed.and ok”d every thing.any of the guys wrote. He trained Bowie on how to play . Randy Rhodes, Jimi James Hendrix,,, all Klaus Nomis pupils. Klaus Nomi was a master. Bowie, the Stone’s,Aerosmith,Kiss , Iron Maiden , even Queen nd the Stones are all his work. His video of his hit Total Eclipse shows his mastery and shows clearly where They all got their style , mannerisms and talent, Especially Bowie

The 1980 Floor Show was filmed at London’s famed Marquee Club over the course of three days in October 1973. The mindset with the production was that it was to look futuristic, and as it was Bowie’s first performance since making his ostensible retirement announcement on the stage of the Hammersmith Odeon earlier in the year, there was an obvious intent to make it as memorable as possible. Marianne Faithfull turned up dressed as a nun to perform a duet with Bowie on Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe,” with other guests including Amanda Lear, The Troggs, and Carmen, a Spanish flamenco glam group. Here’s the full set list from the episode: 1984 Dodo Sorrow (The McCoys cover) Everything’s Alright (Asaf Avidan & The Mojos cover) Space Oddity I Can’t Explain (The Who cover) Time The Jean Genie I Got You Babe (Sonny & Cher cover) Dodo Is there anything else I can help you with?
