I doubt that Bob told anyone what to wear on stage. Most were just wearing whatever they were wearing. I'd say that Bob definitely had ''show clothes'' with the leather jacket, scarfs adn hat. Ronnie Blakely and Scarlett in dresses. Joan Baez in jeans and a top could have been wearing that all day and just walked out on stage. Or maybe she just wanted it to look that way. I think those were just Mick's show clothes at the time; some kind of smock and tights, with a Bowie hair-cut.
I was at the first or second show of the tour if you watch the documentary you'll that Mick got more casual by the time they got to Harvard Sq. No matter what he wearing, on a stage filled with guitar players, he stood out! |

I don't doubt it. Not only was he very good, he was probably the least affected by the whole "Dylan thing." It was a job, not a chance to play with a hero. He thought that Dylan sang like "Yogi Bear."

His solo in Moonage Daydream continues to be one of the most mesmerizing that i've ever heard.

Did I see him in Omaha in 1969 playing Frankenstein with Edger Winter?

How did I miss this thread? Bowie with Ronson is my favorite period. His guitar work really put a lot of Bowie’s songs right over the top with some now classic riffs. Great chemistry on stage too.

Ronson was in a locally well known group, The Rats, prior to joining Bowie. Not far up the road In Scarborough lived my friend John Hutchinson who was in the trio Feathers with Bowie immediately prior to Space Oddity breaking into the charts, he’s on the demo version. Hutch later became one of the Spiders From Mars.

Mick Ronson is one of my all-time favs. One of the most tasteful players ever, great melodic sense and effortless grace. "Welcome to the Club" by Ian Hunter is tremendous -- one of the best live rock albums ever, and Mick made it move. And Rolling Thunder Revue. Another fantastic trip. He's missed.

My early teen age years revolved around the whole early 70's rock age, Bowie, Mott, etc. I missed ever seeing Mick R. Saw Bowie later, 76 or 77. My claim to uniqueness was seeing Mott and Queen together in 74. Queens first time touring the US. I was hooked on music and the guitar from then on.

Mick Ronson has the tone and the fingers to make it musical at 11 volume.
One of my teenage bands we had the pleasure of playing Ziggy Stardust (I played Rheem organ then) and Suffragette City - which was a crowd favorite. I wanted to play Moonage Daydream but the singer couldn't quite swing that one despite being 16 like the rest of us. But I played a dumbed down arraignment myself in my room with my 100$ Japanese plywood acoustic. |

Ronna was the man. Still is the man, as far as I'm concerned. Never heard better tone from anyone, even up to today.

Have you noticed how many times the word ''tasteful'' has come up in this thread?
