“A Star is Born! – When a shooting star is heading for the peak, there is usually one concert at which its possible to declare – That’s it – he’s made it. For David Bowie opportunity knocked loud and clear last Saturday and he left the stage a true 1972-style Pop giant, clutching flowers from a girl who ran up and kissed him while a throng of fans milled round the stage” – Melody Maker
“David Bowie will soon become the greatest entertainer Britain has ever known” –
