Filming begins of a spectacular Bowie stage production called the 1980 Floor Show specially created for an American NBC TV show called The Midnight Special. Bowie fan club members, staff of The Marquee and selected musical press are the participating audience. The show includes Marianne Faithfull, The Troggs and a vocal group called Carmen and takes three days to shoot. It is the last time that Mick Ronson and Trevor Bolder play with Bowie as Spiders.
