Bowie’s first show in New York (and his third in the USA) took place on September 28, 1972 at Carnegie Hall. The venue marquee read: “Fall In Love with David Bowie.” And they did!

“For the hip socialites of New York City, David Bowie‘s Big Apple debut in his Ziggy Stardust mode backed by The Spiders From Mars at Manhattan’s legendary concert venue, Carnegie Hall, was quite the hot ticket and place to be seen.
