Thinking about Bowie's 1980 Floor Show, I looked up on YT if there might be a posting of the whole show, and there is, and more; one of the postings is an eight (8) hour long post of what appears to be not only the show itself, but also a whole lot of raw footage, rehearsals, and outtakes; there is one comprised solely of footage of just Bowie and Marianne Faithful; if the lock down lasts any longer, I may take a slog through watching the whole thing...
There are a lot of posts of segments of the program and some highlighting a song or performer; this is what appears to be the closest to the broadcast performance and closest to what I remember seeing in 1973; what is missing are the performances by the guest stars on the bill like the Troggs, and others; the quality is VHS-like, so you've been warned:
From what I recall was reported at the time, the filming was a bit of an ordeal since the size of the stage required striking each set, repositioning lights, cameras, etc., between takes rather than the usual single set concert setup; time was also spent retaking flubs; since Bowie approached the performance as an art gig, all the setups were done and redone until he was satisfied with the result; for both performers and audience, it was a long, long shoot...
