I remember going to see Bowie at Hammersmith in 73. I was a 16 year old apprentice at the time.,The spiders were at their peak, brilliant performances, but Bowie and Ronson were superb. Then at the end of the show came the bombshell, he was breaking up the band. I've seen Bowie quite a few times over the years since, but I never had the same frisson as I did with Ziggy and the Spiders. Mick Ronson, fantastic guitarist, sadly gone too soon.

Dave Edmunds was always there, but never did it for me.
