David Bowie Life On Mars Ashes To Ashes The Tonight Show 3 September 1980 40th Anniversary
David Bowie Life On Mars Ashes To Ashes The Tonight Show 5 September 1980 40th Anniversary Heres my new cleanup of the classic David Bowie 1980 performance on The Tonight Show. The show was recorded at NBC Studios in Burbank, Los Angeles on September 3rd 1980. It was broadcast forty years ago on this day, the 5th of September 1980. Performing with Bowie on the Tonight Show, was a oneoff band. Bowies regular musical righthand man, Carlos Alomar was leading the band of young up and coming musicians, who were playing with Bowie for the first, and as it turned out, the only time. The Tonight Show performance is unique in other ways. It was Bowies only live appearance of 1980, and the only time any Scary Monsters material was performed live, in its day. And the Tonight Show was one of only two live appearances he made (the other SNL, 1979) in the 5 year period between the ISOLAR II 1978 tour, and the Serious Moonlight tour in 1983. The Tonight Show performance is great Bowie is in fin
