"I was there and i thought is was really good. But maybe it was cause I was in love with him and only 8."

"I remember Frampton doing the opening break to 'Do You Feel Like We Do' and the stadium going bananas. God I wished he'd played on, but Bowie wasn't happy with the show as he cancelled the after show party. 'White Light White Heat' rocked though."
~ Mark Gillies, Auckland
"I was 15 and had a ball. We had a drinking session up the top of Mt Eden before. Our group won 80 bucks and free T-shirts for holding up an 89FM banner that we had spray painted on an old sheet (no shame commercialism). After the concert we drove around Auckland listening to the radio which played only Bowie songs for 2 hours. I fell for the girl in the audience joke that Bowie did with Melissa Hurley for about 5 minutes.".

"My mate swears he saw Bowie throw-up at the side of the stage after a particularly grueling dance routine. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually crook - and that was why he cancelled the after-party. We waited around after the gig and were delighted when stage-hands flew us assorted paraphernalia from the concert. I was thrown a pair of smallish gray pants – which I assumed had been props for the tour. Were they actually Bowie’s pants? After all - he’s a small guy? Well, I kept those pants for years – just in case they were in fact his. In the end, without any verification, I starting doubting their authenticity and decided to throw them out. Obviously, there was no ebay in those days…"
