“But she knows she really loves him”
The screening of David Bowie on Russell Harty Plus took place on Saturday, February 17, 1973.
The original full broadcast which included Drive-In Saturday, the Bowie/Harty interview and a solo performance of My Death, was wiped by LWT.
A partial repeat on Russell Harty Plus Pop rescued the first song and much of the interview, but sadly My Death and the full interview apparently survive as audio only.
If you’ve never seen it, it’s an absolute treat to look back at the 26-year-old Bowie, nervous in interview but peacock proud in performance for his first ever chat show appearance.
Our montage shows two stills from the interview plus pictures from the broadcast version of My Death (bottom left) and the rehearsal of My Death (bottom right)
Check out various pieces of surviving footage and audio on YouTube.
