A trip to see Turn And Face The Strange..the Mick Ronson story... is well worth a visit. Its on again at Hull Truck in a couple of months. They finish off with a rousing rendition of All The Young Dudes!
Just watched the film The Mick Ronson Story. "after he played on the Bob Dylan tour when they were handing out the pay cheques Mick got a bill"
I was there Ian Hunter was singing Honkey Tonk Women and walked into the crowd and grabbed me around the neck and stuck a mike in my face and got me to sing the chorus
Went last weekend and it was indeed well worth the visit. Fills in many of the blanks in the stories of Bowie, Ian Hunter and indeed some Lou Reed. Great show and great story telling by the old band members that knew Mick.
