DAVID BOWIE / ELEPHANT MAN / PHOTO / MEMORABILIA / BLACKSTONE THEATER /CHICAGO

Description

ON AUGUST 18TH, 1980 AT THE BLACKSTONE THEATER THE "ELEPHANT MAN" PRODUCTION WAS IN CHICAGO. BOWIE WAS THE ELEPHANT MAN. I GOT TICKETS MONTHS IN ADVACE AND ENDED UP IN THE 5TH ROW, ON THE AISLE, LEFT SIDE OF STAGE. I TOOK MY 35MM CAMERA AND GOT IT IN. NO PICTURES WERE ALLOWED.THE PLAY STARTS AND THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN NEAR THE BEGINNING, WHEN BOWIE, ALONE AT THE FRONT OF THE STAGE, DOING THE CONTORTIONS OF THE ELEPHANT MAN.  I STARTED TAKING PICTURES. I GOT 4 OR 5 BEFORE SECURITY.... ANYWAY THIS IS THE BEST ONE. THIS IS A  BLOWN  UP  SCAN  [ A REPRODUCTION ] OF ORIGINAL 5" X 3 1/2"  KODAK PRINT. WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A BLACK FRAME. I HAVE ONE. I WILL SHIP FLAT IN STURDY CARDBOARD.
