Il costume di Mick Ronson era una tuta jumpsuit bianca. Mark Carr Prichard venne presentato da Bowie come "Mark Due Fiumi, un Mohicano di Peage". Curiosamente, il batterista Aynsley Dunbar aveva suonato con The Mojos, che scrissero ''Everything's Alright'' negli anni sessanta. Bowie e Ronson suonano per l'ultima volta dal vivo insieme da qui fino alla reunion in Canada nel 1983, durante il Serious Moonlight Tour.

Le Astronettes (da non confondersi con i ballerini del Rainbow Concert con lo stesso nome), coristi e ballerini di Bowie, erano Geoffrey MacCormack, Jason Guess e Ava Cherry.

Per ''The Jean Genie'', il costume di Bowie era fatto con una rete da pesca e venne aggiustato due volte dal personale. Prima vennero rimosse due mani finte con unghie nere che erano state applicate a coprire i capezzoli, così come un sospensorio. The NBC were concerned that the suggestively placed dummy hand would be too shocking for American audiences. The film crew were subsequently instructed to film above Bowie's waist for that number. Other censorship for US TV occurred later when words such as "screw" and "goddam" were edited from the soundtrack.

"I did one particular song, can't remember what it was now but I had a strange kind of string knitted costume made with three hands on. Two of them on my chest, looking like I was being gripped from the back...And a third one on my crotch. I nearly started a riot with the Americans. They said: "Oh we can't show that, that's subversive." We went through hell, so I had to take the hand of my crotch. And then of course they didn't like the black pouch piece that was down there, that the hand was stitched to...so I had to change all that. So, like the 'Diamond Dogs' thing that they airbrushed the dick off, I was having more erasure problems. It followed me all through the Seventies.* It's funny that I can remember the costume and not the song, totally indicative of what the time was like." - Bowie (2002)
