This Save the Whales benefit show is the climax of David's first major
British tour. After introducing the opening acts (Marmalade and The
JSD Band), compere Kenny Everett announces David as 'the second
greatest thing - next to God' and David appears to the music of
Beethoven's "Song To Joy", the "Clockwork Orange" theme. The show is a
phenomenon - 'A STAR IS BORN' trumpets "Melody Maker".
Not least
among the surprises is the first ever British performance by Lou Reed,
who joins David and the Spiders for "White Light/White Heat", "Sweet
Jane" and "Waiting For The Man". Bowie introduces Lou with "He's
still playing, and he's now in England, and this is his very, very very first
appearance anywhere in England - Lou Reed!"

of all the different eras in Bowie's career ONSTAGE, the pooriest guitar work i would say is Ziggy era. Mick Ronson is the ultimate culprit, he is of course an excellent player, he is very talented and wild. However, i don't whether it's because of the technology at the time or he delibrately made the sound, the live guitar extemporaneous performance with Daivd was horrible, the entire ziggy ONSTAGE impression was destroyed by the noise!! It sounds terrible, wild but terrible, compareably, Pete Townshend's Who guitar was much audible, it was wild too but mellower and most importantly, organised. the Ziggy alnum was very good, but why Mick wanted the noise on stage?
