Radio with Pictures - David Bowie on tour
Television (Excerpts) – 1983
In New Zealand for his 1983 Serious Moonlight tour, David Bowie stops for a cigarette with Radio with Pictures, to talk about past, present and future projects. Bowie mentions recording hit album Let’s Dance in three weeks, and briefly touches on mysterious music and screen projects, and the "very funny" Ziggy Stardust concert film. Also mentioned: his opinions on Jagger versus McCartney, his desire to work again with Iggy Pop, and how he feels about making the cover of Time magazine. The interview is bookended with brief footage of Bowie's opening number at Athletic Park.
I think we’ve been on the road since March of this year, so that’s eight extraordinary months, and I feel as though we could keep on touring. It’s the longest I’ve done. It feels the shortest I’ve done, it really does. It’s just been so good.– David Bowie, on his Serious Moonlight world tour
