It was very difficult for Bowie to top the Serious Moonlight tour, and when he tried in 1987 with the Glass Spider tour, he got some of the worst reviews of his career. It didn't help that he was promoting the subpar Never Let Me Down and playing on a giant spider-shaped stage packed full of dancers, though looking back it wasn't nearly as bad as the legend suggests. Here he is playing "Absolute Beginners." Check out the guitarist. That is indeed Peter Frampton. He was a childhood friend of Bowie, and when Frampton's career cooled down, Bowie happily brought him into his band.
