David Bowie Instagram – THE 1980 FLOOR SHOW BROADCAST 50 YEARS AGO TODAY “Beware the savage jaw…” Today marks the 50th anniversary of the broadcast of David Bowie’s The 1980 Floor Show, which was used as both a promotional tool for Pin Ups and to further break into the American market. It would be Bowie’s last public performance with the two remaining Spiders From Mars, as drummer Woody Woodmansey was no longer a part of the band line up, having been replaced by Aynsley Dunbar. The 1980 Floor Show was a lavish stage production that took place over three days at Bowie’s old haunt, The Marquee Club in London’s Soho. Filmed in front of fan club members for the American NBC TV late night show, The Midnight Special, you can read another fine in-depth piece by Jason Draper over on Dig! via the link below. ‘THE 1980 FLOOR SHOW’: THE FULL STORY BEHIND DAVID BOWIE’S 1973 TV SPECIAL – https://www.thisisdig.com/feature/david-bowie-the-1980-floor-show-full-story/ (Linktree in bio) Check out most of the performances while you’re there.
