SANTA BARBARA BOWL
On their way to stardom, Daryl Hall and John Oates played as a support act for David Bowie’s first American shows in 1972. According to an interview, Oates commented on their experience with Bowie, “We were in our folk mode and we didn’t know what he was doing. I had known his previous album [1971’s ‘Hunky Dory’], which was a little, kind of folky. And when I saw him backstage, with the shaved eyebrows and the orange hair and the giant platform shoes, I was like, ‘What is this?’” According to Oates, the show was a “life-changing experience” and started with the theme from “2001” and they came out as the Spiders from Mars.
