I remember being pissed at them after they sold 100 gazillion albums and appeared live on tv wearing rags. With the amount of money those dudes had at that point, they should have been wearing tuxedos on stage. I saw them at Iguana's in TJ on this tour. I rememeber being real surprised when I found out there was a hidden track on the CD. I was in Santa Cruz on a road trip for a Meat Puppets show, when my friends were talking about the first time they heard the song. I was puzzled because I heard that album a hundred times and knew for sure mine had no extra track. I went to their dorm room and heard it. I went back to work the next week and told a couple coworkers who also never heard the track about it. We pulled all the stock of cds of that album that we had, probably about 300 copies, and started opening them looking for a cd with the extra track. We noticed that one in about 25, or one in each box had a 1/4" black strip on the edge that were not on the other 24. Those cds were the ones with the extra track, which I think was called endless nameless. About a week or so after this discovery, all the cds we got in of this album forever after that, all had the extra song on them. For the longest time all of bowies stuff was out of print in all formats. People used to happily pay $30-50 for a used copy of one of his catalog CDS on RCA. RYKO, a label I fully supported because they were the zappa label, reissued the Bowie catalog after a few years of it being unavailable. I was happy when they did it because they did all the reissues right with extra tracks and album graphics and stuff. I have all his Ryko reissues, most of his albums on RCA cd versions, a couple Mobile Fidelity vinyl albums, and just about everything on original RCA vinyl as well. Hunky Dory kicks ass. Man who sold the world rules. David Live, Pinups, and Diamond dogs are my favorites of his as well. I saw Floyd twice on this tour. Once at the LA Sports Arena, and once at the LA Coliseum. At the coliseum show, my friend and I got separated from our ride on the way out. We walked straight to the car by a direct route and the car was gone. We looked forever and didn't find the car, so we walked to south freeway omramp and tried to hitch. Some dude in a bug stopped after about two minutes and told us to hop in. He told us he'd take us to Redondo Beach. We said sure, since it was south. When I sat in his back seat, the seat sagged and the metal seat springs made contact with the battery under the seat. It started smoking, but I knew from experience that vws always smelled like smoke in the back seat. But, right as he said,"Do you smell smoke?" flames shot up from under my legs. It seemed the fibers in the cushion caught fire from the spring/battery contact heat. I stomped the fire out on the side of the freeway. While doing this, the battery contact wire broke, so we had to bump start the car. He took us to redondo, where we went on a bizarre errand with him to a hotel that involved one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen in my life wearing hardly any clothes, who he claimed was his brothers girlfriend and was just getting off work. we took her home and he said he'd take us all the way home. At some point, it started getting real hot in the back seat. Eventually, the guy says, "Hey, that's weird, I'm flooring it and only going 50 miles per hour!" we pulled over in Costa Mesa, we thanked him, I gave him all my leftover cash($10) and wished each other luck. We bump started his bug one more time and watched it slug out of the Denny's parking lot heading back north. from there, help was only 40 minutes south and on the way for us. I got home at 8am and had to work at the deli at 9. I always felt bad for that guy, helping us out and having his car catch on fire and the engine blew. That's why you should never pick up hitchikers. I saw them on this tour and the tour before, the red ball album tour? I never liked RUSH. The head of promotions at radio station KGB was a regular at the store and he got me some tickets for the first Rush show because they promoted the show. It was at the Sports arena. My seats ended up being second row, dead center. I remember when I got to my seats thinking, "Wow! These are great seats. Too bad I don't like Rush. I bet some rush fan would appreciate these seats. To bad they were wasted on me" I watched the whole show from there and they failed to win me over as a fan. the second time I saw them, we walked around the outside walkway the whole show and only went to the seats for the drum solo. After I found this poster, I had absolutely no recollection of this album ever existing. I went to the record collection and actually found it, and a promo 12" of the hit. I played it and it was horrible. Buzzy Out!
