I'd previously thought of him as this distant character (which, I guess he was in his private life and with some other musicians), but it's nice to learn that he's quite the opposite with fans. 734003@blogcritics.org Sat, 19 Jul 2008 22:09:05 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/19/202220.php#comment-734002 I can vouch for those small crowds on the Ziggy tour. Here in Seattle, I saw the show at the 3000 seat capacity Paramount, and there couldn't have been more than like 200 people there. We were in the orchestra pit, and Bowie did the full-on theartical show, but still treated it as an intimate perfromance. At one point, he even stopped and talked to a few of us between songs, asking my friend what he did that day. My friend Kim replied that he skipped school to come down here and hang out, which got a nice round of applause from the audience. -Glen 734002@blogcritics.org Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:50:39 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/19/202220.php#comment-734000 I can vouch for those small crowds on the Ziggy tour.
