Ziggy live in ’72 for a mere 60p, or one Euro, even 85 cents…
whichever way you look at it, that’s what I call value for money!
Oh don’t lean on me man, cause you can’t afford the ticket…
Had a few e-mails concerning the accuracy of my Mick Rock meets Bowie at Birmingham story that I posted last Sunday. (03/17/02 NEWS: WHEN ROCK MET ZIGGY) It would seem that a couple of the other more popular fansites have the actual date listed as April 17th 1972, as opposed to my date of one month earlier. Well frankly, I’m offended! Does anybody really think we’d post such an important date without checking our facts first? };-)
Not sure when this confusion began, but certainly older publications have the date listed as March 17th, which is the date that Mick Rock himself remembers, but most of the websites and recent publications have it as April.
Well, let’s clear it up here and now…the show was definitely March 17th. Apart from the ticket above, (kindly supplied by superfan Martyn Hammond) we have traced a press ad for the same date that also lists Mister Crisp as support. And, we’ve also traced another fan who was actually there. This chap not only kept his ticket, but he says he knows he would remember if the show had been re-scheduled. So unless somebody out there knows differently, I think the spotters among us can sleep soundly once again.
