November 16, 1969 –
David Bowie appeared in his first TV special, 1980 Floor Show, broadcast on NBC’s Midnight Special, on this date.
The show was a spectacular stage production that was filmed over three days, mostly at The Marquee Club, in Soho, London. It would be Bowie’s last performance as the Ziggy Stardust persona with The Spiders From Mars. (For those with prurient minds, look for a brief flash of Marianne Faithfull’s bare behind at the end.)
