The intro says
'just back from successful tour of USA'. The US Leg didn't start until late
September.
Also, the book, "The Concert Tapes" has Bowie saying at the end of Let's Spend
the Night Together, just before "Let's do it, let's make love" Bowie says:
"When I saw you come, come, coming down the street. What sign are you? What sign are
you, are you a Leo or are you a Capricorn? Are you still at school? I've always believed
in education. Educate me." Or something very similar.

Reviews
IT'S THE big
return and Bowie's out there suggesting 'Let's Spend The Night Together', though his offer
is more innocent than the sinister sexuality of Mick Jagger's version. There's our lad in
glitter jacket and tight, tight, red knee-length pants, yelling out something about
schoolkids and urging "I believe in education - educate me!" before thrusting
into 'Spiders From Mars', 'Superman' and 'Changes', all effort and little subtlety, with
Mick Ronson playing guitar much as a Dowager Duchess might play with her beads, good
twiddles here, mucho padding there.
But Bowie's pleased to be back, anxious to be adored, and he delivers the rest of the set
with a zest that actually drains onlookers and it's the crowd who finally stagger out into
the street feeling knackered but ready to face '73.
