David Bowie/Morrissey: London, Wembley Arena
Sylvie Simmons, MOJO, 1995
THE THIRD OF four nights of two thinnish white pop Dukes with great barbers and a well-honed sense of alienation. Seventies icon Bowie and 80s icon Morrissey met on Bowies Sound And Vision tour, they expressed mutual fandom. And here they are playing together or not together, not in the way Bowie recently played with Nine Inch Nails in the States, but on the same bill, with Morrissey in the role of underdog. Not one he wears well. "Good evening," he snarls at 7.30, a good portion of Bowies crowd still held up in rush hour. "Were your support group."
