The 1980 Floor Show is a show held at the Marquee Club in London from 18th to 20th October 1973 with David Bowie. It was broadcast in the US by NBC on November 16 in the musical series The Midnight Special. This was Bowie's first live appearance after the announced farewell to the Ziggy persona, a kind of brief and momentous "resurrection" by Ziggy Stardust in the form of real live rock music.
The setlist was made mostly by songs from albums Aladdin Sane and Pin Ups, although the most important song was perhaps the 1984 / Dodo medley, announced as a preview of the 1984 adaptation of George Orwell.
The show, whose title was a play of words referring to the 1984 song (nineteen eighty-four / nineteen eighty floor), managed to capture a moment of transition between the glam fantasy of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars and the more obtuse Diamond Dogs, an album released six months later.
