Exclusive Bowie Shot From Memphis February 26 1973

In the corner of the morning in the past…

Here’s an exclusive first look at that elusive fourth shot of Dolph Smith and David Bowie that we promised you a couple of weeks back. (02.04.2008 NEWS: BOWIE VISIT TO MEMPHIS INSPIRES FILM COURSE)

Today is exactly thirty five years to the day that David visited the Memphis Academy of Art on February 26, 1973.

Mike McCarthy, who is running THE FILM CLASS THAT FELL TO EARTH that we mentioned in the earlier piece, has been in touch to say it’s all going well and there are a couple more additions to the site.

I don’t know how he gets the time, but first up is this excellent essay Mike has penned, entitled: BOWIE VERSUS ELVIS

There’s also a new review up (albeit with a couple of factual errors) by Richard DeLisi: David Bowie live in Memphis As Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke. It’s accompanied by more photos of The Thin White Duke at the Mid South Coliseum on March 6th, 1976, like the one above, also taken by Richard DeLisi.

Thanks again for all this Mike…and good luck with the rest of the course.
