The setlist
‘Warszawa’ “Heroes” ‘What In The World’ ‘Be My Wife’ ‘The Jean Genie’ ‘Blackout’ ‘Sense Of Doubt’ ‘Speed Of Life’ ‘Breaking Glass’ ‘Beauty And The Beast’ ‘Fame’ ‘Five Years’ ‘Soul Love’ ‘Star’ ‘Hang On To Yourself’ ‘Ziggy Stardust’ ‘Suffragette City’ ‘Art Decade’ ‘Alabama Song’ ‘Station To Station’ ‘Stay’ ‘TVC 15’ ‘Rebel Rebel’ The 1978 tour focused on Low and “Heroes” with a healthy dose of Ziggy Stardust to break up the otherwise emotionally grim musical landscape. Today, hearing a food vendor calling, “Hey, pretzels!” during “Warszawa” probably offers some sense of what it was like to see such a rigidly choreographed and sonically punishing performance in a sports arena. The Garden shows would close out the U.S. leg of the tour before Bowie and Co. headed to Europe to finish things off.
