1987

THE GLASS SPIDER WORLD TOUR The show was generally thought of as overblown and overproduced, featuring a big spider hanging over the centre of the stage, and with an accompanying troupe of dancers. I, for one, thought it was spectacular! Opening on the 30 May 1987, The Glass Spider World Tour visited fifteen countries and produced eighty six performances, as well as nine promotional press shows. The band consisted of: David Bowie (vocals, guitar, saxophone), Carlos Alomar (guitar), Peter Frampton (lead guitar), Carmine Rojas (bass), Alan Childs (drums), Erdal Kizilcay (keyboards, trumpet, congas, violin) and Richard Cottle (keyboards, saxophone). The dancers were: Melissa Hurley, Constance Marie, Craig Allen Rothwell (aka Spazz Attack), Viktor Manoei and Stephen Nichols. In March before the tour started, a number of Press Shows were given in various countries. The band for these performances consisted of: David Bowie (vocals), Carlos Alomar (guitar), Peter Frampton (guitar), Alan Childs (drums), Carmine Rojas (bass) and Richard Cottle (keyboards).
