David Bowie performed for the last time at the Marquee club during a three night filming sesion of "The 1980 Floor Show" for the American NBC TV late night show The Midnight Special. Admission to the show was by invitation only and the audience included 200 members of the newly formed International David Bowie Fan Club, staff and managers of the Marquee, selected musical press, and famous people such as Tony Visconti, Angie and Zowie Bowie, Long John Baldry, Dana Gillespie, Wayne County, Lionel Bart and Mary Hopkins. The Marquee club announced on it's montlhy programme: "LUCKY FOR SOME....UNLUCKY FOR MANY! On Thurs, Fri & Sat 18th, 19th & 20th October NBC T.V. have taken the Marquee for FILMING & LIVE Recordings of some Very Special Artistes. There will be a very few tickets available for each of the evenings...Details will be posted within the Club."

This show caused a big expectation in the media at the time for being the first David Bowie's appearance onstage since his anounced stage retirement on 3 July 1973 at the Hammersmith Odeon. To ad more interst it was the very last appearance of Bowie as the alter ego Ziggy Stardust. David Bowie's original idea for the show was to create a special event for The Midnight Special TVseries, using theatrical cabaret performances that would feature himself and other rock bands from the 60's in a futuristic setting.
