As seen above, the ticket stub indicated that The Angels from Australia were to play. They didn't and in their place was The Kevin Borich Express. |

The
Bowie segment
went well
although the
massive size
of the stadium
was said to
lose a bit of
the immediacy
(the days
prior to giant
video
screens). In the second half of the concert, Bowie and his band returned to the stage and photographed the record crowd. ![]() ![]() Above : Bowie at Western Springs 1978. Photos taken and sent in by Selwyn from Auckland. |

In Auckland, Bowie
and the band stayed at the Mon Desir, a single
story complex in Tekapuna. Known for it's spectacular beachfront location and wild reputation, the Mon Desir attracted many showbiz personalities and rock stars. From the article Old Mon Desir Revisited: "David Bowie famously stayed for four days of debauchery when he toured in 1978. His room was flanked on all sides with bodyguards but rumour has it a few Kiwi girls made it through the security". |
