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
“Insane Choreography, Bizarre performances by the dancers, total camp fun. Be sure to watch the mustached dancer who is giving just a little bit more than the other three. My favorite moment is the choreography on the word “cause I really love you”. Sorry about the quality.” – Kevin Chamberlain
RAGING STALLION: Circus bearded man James Jamesson is like a Viking: barrel-chested, with dense red body hair. Staring at an old snapshot of a masked man sucking a cock gets James hard. When he strips, his skin is pale making the red in his pubes stand out even more. This bearded man has a secret talent, he can suck his own cock, and he proceeds to get the head of his dick in his mouth while in a shoulder stand. That’s the super erotic position he’s in when circus performer Dale Cooper comes in. Dale – a handsome guy, with a long, curved cock hanging down from retro, bushy pubes – gets out of his clothes quickly, because he wants what James is having. Dale’s. James passes the meat from his mouth to Dale’s. They try other sleight-of-cock tricks you won’t see under the big top, like James sucking himself while Dale sucks his balls. When James comes up for air, his tongue gravitates to Dale’s hole, which is dilated and pulsing. Dale tells him to fuck it, and the penetration is bone-steady to the sweet spot. Dale grabs a ladder for support and takes it every way that James can deliver it. After three positions, both men are awash in sweat and the jism flows like a downpour.
