Give me a few quarters in Sultan's Castle and I thought I had died and gone to Heavan.

I saw Bowie twice at Ellis Auditorium.
Another time I took my future wife to a Bowie concert at the Auditorium in Nashville with another couple.
Both girls lived in Rawls Hall and my future mother-in-law was very very proper and strict.
So we had to drive back to Memphis and have both girls back in their dorm rooms late that night.
The other girl was from Smyrna and we could've stayed with her parents but my girlfriend was scared her mother would be mad. LOL

Great poster, and if I remember correctly a great concert. Saw Bowie, three times. Twice at the auditorium, and once at the Coliseum. I am a big fan also. The Thin White Duke.
