1. A whole bus load of us made the trek to Maple Leaf Gardens. Station to Station opened a great show.

2. Great show myself future wife traveled from Tampa 19 year olds to see one of our all time favorite artists stripped down show post Ziggy Stardust did not disappoint.

3. I was at one of the Philly shows. Had just turned 16. Saw him many times since but this was my favorite. He tripped slightly entering stage left to Station to Station. He actually was human but barely seemed so. Fabulous. Miss him.

4. The March 1, 1976 show was at Olympia Stadium, not Cobo Hall. He opened with Station to Station. Great show!

5. I saw the show in Philadelphia. I was 15 and was enraptured the entire time. Every song was an experience. I’ve been a Bowie since first hearing Changes in 1972, and here I am over 50 years later, still in awe of the man and his music. Forever my favorite.

6. A ’76 Bowie concert would probably be in my top 3 places to time travel to! In contrary to the other commenters here, who’ve seen the tour and “miss the old days”, I only got into Bowie since last year and will never see my new idol. I like to think Bowie’s music asks for some maturity/sophistication on the listener’s side which I unfortunately did not reach in time, being born in 2000. The people who were there should cherish those moments and celebrate the fact that they lived through a period in music that was real and analogue! It’s gonna be Nassau on repeat for me.

7. I saw the show in Kalamazoo, MI., a month before the excellent Nassau recording. I remember Bowie showed up late. That’s about all I remember.

8. Saw the opening nite of tour in Vancouver….it was the best Bowie show I’ve seen
   The ultimate in class such a wonderful performer… will never forget that nite …..
   He was the best never to be repeated … music today doesn’t come close … miss those days

9. I believe I saw this show at a venue outside of Birmingham, England, although this isn’t listed on the tour schedule. Am I right?

10. I saw the Daly City (SF) show Feb 6th at The Cow Palace. I loved the lighting. Ranging from Chiffon Curtains to geometric cones and squares throught the night.

11. I was fortunate to have attended the Milwaukee and Chicago dates on this tour. Fantastic!

12. Saw the show 13 March at the Capital Centre in Landover, MD. Had 2nd row seats! The intro eyeball film was unforgettable. Best concert ever for me!

13. Saw Bowie in Evansville, Indiana on this tour. He was awesome as always. I liked the Kraftwerk album they were playing in the auditorium before he came on that night. The video of the eye being cut open was something different to view before a concert. It was a cold night down in Evansville. My two brothers and I made the trip from Indianapolis to see this show. Well worth it!

14. I was at the Detroit 1976 show and it was at the old Olympia Stadium, not Cobo Arena as indicated above. RB

15. Thanks for your response, I corrected it right away
