And…. in the death ,As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy Thoroughfare, The shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building, High on Poacher’s Hill. And red, mutant, eyes gaze down on Hunger City. No more big wheels. Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats, And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes, Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers, Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-Me Avenue Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald Any day now, the year of the Diamond Dogs…. “This ain’t rock and roll! This is genocide!”

THE DIAMOND DOGS TOUR Less than a year after the ‘farewell concert’ at Hammersmith Odeon,Bowie was back on stage in June as Halloween Jack,his latest personification. Together with jules Fisher and Mark Ravitz he had created a decor to enable him to transiorm the Diamond Dogs LP into images. There was the scenery of Hunger City,a futuristic town in decay,with lots of special effects to turn it all into a gigantic show. Diamond Dogs was not a rock tour,more of a Broadway tour: it combined music with theatre. The band had to remain at the back of the stage and behind sheets,while Bowie was holding the stage alone,to give it a more theatrical feel,but on more than one occasion during the tour members of the band got fed up with this arrangement and came forward. This repeatedly led to arguments between Bowie and the band; this and a host of other problems made this a very hard tour. The immense scenery,built in four weeks and costing some $220,000 was hard to transport and set up. The roadies worked like mad for 21 hours a day to get the scenery moved to a different town every night. THE PRE-SOUL TOUR After the exhausting tour of June and July Bowie started off on another tour in September, through California and Arizona,as a follow-up to the Diamond Dogs tour. However,this tour was so muc.h affected by Bowie’s growing soul-tendencies ,that this short tour can hardly be counted as part of the Diamond Dogs tour. THE SOUL TOUR On 5th October, 1974,in St. Paul, Minnesota,Bowie started off on a tour of two months through the east of the States. Bowie had had enough of the Diamond Dogs show and wanted change. The immense scenery was now replaced by a big white screen at the back of the stage where the footlights projectec his silhouette at intervals. When a hall was very large, the concerts. as sometimes filmed and projected direct on a large screen suspended over the stage,so that everyone could get a view of it all. Bowie band’s ,now led hy pianist Mike Garson and called “The Mick Garson Band” ,opened the concerts by playing five or six soul numbers,the last one being Bowie’s Memory of a Free Festivaland at the end of this number Bowie was announced and came on. Bowie began with either Space Oddity or Rebel Rebel and the rest of the repertory contained a couple of songs from the new LP Young Americans. The American audience who had just started to get used to Halloween Jack and the Diamond Dogs show,were now confronted with this show full of soul influences and were once again much surprised. Like the Dogs tour this tour was a back-breaking affair; during the tour Bowie got so worn out that without a cane he could no longer keep himself up right on the stage. Yet he danced a great deal and together with his six backup singers he produced some fine singing,even though often his voice sounded hoarse. Gui Andrisano,Andy Newmark and Willy Weeks were now replaced by Robin Clark,Dennis Davis and Emir Ksasan respectively.
