Beauty Before Outrage Information
Hi My name is Zippy Stardust 10.
I am over 40 years old and have been a big fan of David Bowie since about 1973. The first
song that made me sit up and listen was “Five Years”. A friend had lent me a
tape of The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders
From Mars and it just hit me as I was walking home listening
to it in the rain.
I first tried to see David in 1976 at Wembley. My parents had other ideas and refused to
let me go. The fact that they had earlier agreed to let me try to get tickets to see my
football team, Newcastle United, play at Wembley against Manchester City still baffles me!
At last 1978 came around and Dave came to Newcastle City Hall. I applied and got tickets
for all 3 shows. I planned the concerts to the last detail. First night to get the tee
shirts, take photographs and take it all in. The second night was to be recorded (more of
that in a while) and the last night was to go wild.
It was a hot summer in 1978. I attended the second night dressed in a long trench coat.
See the inner cover of David Live for the image I was trying to recreate. Everyone else
wore tee shirts and I stood out like a sore thumb. My cassette recorder was strapped to my
back under my coat. I got past security put my recorder on the floor under my seat and did
the biz.
25 years later I got my PC and asked Shankley to convert the recording to CDR for me. From
there I sent it to the Basement for cleaning and made some covers for it.
I called the CDR Beauty Before Outrage to represent the change of perspective in Bowie’s music in 1978. The
CDR is available in trading circles and not for sale from this site.
