Wildly enthusiastic audience ;
This concert was to be held in St.Paul,but was moved to the Horizon without reasons given. This is a splendid tape with a wildly enthusiastic audience who go on shouting even during the songs,e.g Let’s Dans ,when a rose is thrown onto the stage and Bowie turns it into a fiddle! “Thank you for your support,goud evening!” he calls out gratefully. During the encores one can hear the drumming of thousands of feet being stamped. Al the beginning of Jean Genie Bowie waits quite a while before he starts singing,in order to let the band give a sample of their skills,and the audience clap along with fervour.
On the whole the Chicago shows received good reviews.
The Twin Cities Reader – quite rightly – wrote: “Bowie’s distance from his audience and his oblique lyrics do not get in the way of communicating with 20,000 people”.
