Stage synchronized fairly well with the "Oz" portion of the Low/Heroes tour.

The tour kicked off in Adelaide just one month after the album's release and not surprisingly, the Australian longevity of the album was better than the US and UK put together.

The New Zealand success of the album was even more spectacular - hitting the nations top spot in November and achieving Gold status.

While on tour, Bowie completed interviews for Australian music TV show Countdown and current affairs program Willesee.
