Bootleg : Aylesbury '71
Un concert incroyable, présentant le futur album "Hunky Dory". Bowie était de retour d'un séjour aux USA, et il explique entre les chansons ce qui l'a le plus étonné là-bas...
Un compte-rendu de ce concert peut être trouvé dans l'excellent "Moonage Daydream", livre écrit par Dave Thompson :
"At the end of September, back in England, David and the band played Aylesbury Borough Assembly Hall. Kris Needs, then writing for the local Buckinghamshire newspaper, remembers :
'At that time, Aylesbury was about the only place that would put David on regularly. I met him backstage before the show and he was nervous as hell. He was still going around with his long hair and floppy hats, but he was great to watch on stage. He had just got back from New York, and was full of talk about the people he'd met there, Lou and Warhol, and he played Waiting for the man and White light white heat, which was the first time I'd ever heard anybody acknowledge the Velvet Underground.
The response to that gig was amazing. I still think that, more than any other show he played, it was the one which finally decided him that he could make a go of it in that country. After the show he was sitting there, very quietly, but very excitedly. And when he came back to Aylesbury in January, the change was amazing. All his hair was cut short and dyed orange, he was wearing a jumpsuit, the whole Ziggy thing was taking shape. His personality had completely changed. He really was Ziggy Stardust".
