Perth Concert: March 1, 2004 |
The final Reality concert down under took place at the Supreme Court Gardens in Perth. To date, this remains the last concert that David Bowie has played on antipodean soil.
Highlights according to our man on the scene, Steve, were ' Suffragette City', 'White Light White Heat' and 'Quicksand'.
Bowie also made a point that the only two places in the world that have known the words to 'China Girl' were the second gig in Melbourne and the Perth gig.
Reportedly, a girl down the front of the stage fainted when Bowie touched her hand.
At one point, Bowie cracked a joke about Brian Eno playing Satan in the new Mel Gibson directed movie, Passion, and thoroughly embarrassed Sterling Campbell by thrusting his hips at him. Bowie also joked with the huge crowds of people on the other side of the fence, in a park by the river, listening for free. He called the payed audience "the legitimates" and them "the illegitimates".
