David Bowie: "Glitter Panache and Pace - A Star is Born" Review (1972)

David Bowie’s "Glitter Panache and Pace - A Star is Born", a one-page London Festival Hall review in Melody Maker, July 15, 1972.

This event was a benefit concert for Friends Of The Earth. Ticket prices ranged from 50 pence to £2, with all proceeds supporting the charity's Save the Whale campaign.

The supporting acts included Marmalade and the JSD Band, with Kenny Everett serving as the compere. The highlight of the event, however, was when Lou Reed joined Bowie on stage to perform the Velvet Underground songs ‘White Light/White Heat’, ‘I’m Waiting For The Man’, and ‘Sweet Jane’.

Bowie performed 16 songs: ‘Hang On to Yourself’, ‘Ziggy Stardust’, ‘Life On Mars?’, ‘The Supermen’, ‘Starman’, ‘Changes’, ‘Five Years’, ‘Space Oddity’, ‘Andy Warhol’, ‘Amsterdam’, ‘I Feel Free’, ‘Moonage Daydream’, ‘White Light/White Heat’, ‘I’m Waiting For The Man’, ‘Sweet Jane’, and ‘Suffragette City’.
