DANGEROUS MINDS: Taped in the tiny Marquee Club on Wardour Street over the course of three days in October of 1973, the idea was to do a sort of artsy/futuristic variety show with Bowie’s first performance since “retiring” onstage at the Hammersmith Odeon earlier that year. The 1980 Floor Show featured guests Marianne Faithful (junked out of her skull and dressed as a nun dueting with the Dame on “I Got You Babe), The Troggs and Spanish flamenco glam act—yes, you read that correctly—Carmen. Amanda Lear introduced some numbers and Bowie serenaded her with a magnificent version of “Sorrow” in one of the show’s highlights.
The 1980 Floor Show was originally aired on The Midnight Special on November 16, 1973.
“Bowie’s cover of The Who’s “Can’t Explain” is KILLER… and his duet of “I Got You Babe” with Marianne Faithful is fucking hilarious!” – Sissydude

We asked one of our favorite photographers, Gabriel Gastelum, to snap up some pics of Minsky for us. “Alex was the most comfortable model I have ever seen,” he told us of photographing Minsky, who’s dressed in N2N underwear for the shoot. “He had no problems dropping trou and walking around. I guess when you worked so hard for a body like that.. I would be comfortable too.” – See more at: UNDERWEAR EXPERT
