Saw him much later on the Stage tour.<br /><br />Now live in Dunstable and shop regularly in Asda (where the Queensway hall used to stand). Reckon David would have performed approx where the fish counter now stands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-56848046603693951312020-06-14T00:45:39.654+01:002020-06-14T00:45:39.654+01:00We were dancing in the space at the back.

What's weird about this footage is the audience shots are indeed from Dunstable but the footage of Bowie is actually from Aylesbury on 15 July. On YouTube there is a lot of footage also marked 'Aylesbury... and most of this is Dunstable! Or so I suspect. I wonder if Simon in the comments above or anybody else can confirm this? Funny old world.Bardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897711537506216716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38519501.post-59053765403428674902014-04-18T21:53:28.364+01:002014-04-18T21:53:28.364+01:00hi,

I wonder where they are now too? If I should ever go to Asda in Dunstable I think I'll be looking at all the shoppers there in their fifties/sixties and just wondering if any of them were any of these kids, reminiscing about being there that night as they wander the aisles and put their frozen peas in a wobbly-wheeled trolley.<br />It always makes me feel better about getting older!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.com
