Audience, not vinyl or CD sourced
Quality : 6

Bowie comes on stage to a standing ovation and makes a speech asking the fans to make a donatin to Dr Barnados. Dr Barnardos is the charity organisation that Bowie's late father had worked for.

Melody Maker magazine cites Bowie as "THE main man of 1972" and Bowie dominates the issue. Bowie was voted Top Vocalist of the Year (over Rod Stewart and Elton John) while the Ziggy Stardust album is the critics choice for pop album of 1972. A two page ad states "David Bowie and the Spiders wish everyone a Happy Christmas" and requests that those attending the Rainbow Concert on the 24th December bring a children's toy to be donated to charity.
