Footnotes

"These photographs are taken on the last night of the Ziggy Stardust Tour in 1973. They sum up for me, everything that was great about that Tour, David's flamboyance, Mick Ronson's guitar hero poses and most importantly the interplay between the two of them. Ronno was the perfect partner and foil for David, they interacted so well that it all looked completely natural and spontaneous, almost like they were doing it for the first time. Whilst David cavorted round in a number of outrageous outfits Mick threw these great shapes all through the show, nobody ever played the part of the guitar hero better in my mind."
- Chalkie Davies
