The performances began without introduction with a showing of the 1928
surrealist film by
Luis Buñuel and
Salvador Dalí,
Un Chien Andalou, which includes a famous section of a razor blade cutting into a woman's eyeball. Bowie appeared on stage immediately as the film finished, while the audience was still disoriented. The visual element of the performances incorporated banks of fluorescent white light set against black backdrops creating a stark spectacle on a stage largely devoid of props or other visual distractions. The
Public Auditorium,
Cleveland, Ohio performance on 28 February 1976 was recorded by a concert-goer and released as the bootleg entitled
NeoExpressionism on the TSP (
The Swingin' Pig) label. It would be digitally re-mastered in 2007 and the entire set released on 2 CDs. The only song not done at this performance is "Sister Midnight." The
Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum,
Uniondale, New York, performance on 23 March 1976 was recorded by
RCA Records with extracts broadcast by
The King Biscuit Radio Network. Two songs from the performance were later included on the 1991
Rykodisc re-issue of the
Station to Station album. The entire Nassau performance is available on the 2010 deluxe edition of
Station to Station as well as the 2016 box set
Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976). It was released separately on LP, CD and digitally in February 2017 as ''
Live Nassau Coliseum '76''. Tour keyboardist Tony Kaye has soundboard recordings of the 26 March 1976
Madison Square Garden and 17-18 May
Pavillon de Paris shows, and has expressed hope that they might eventually be released. Bowie took friend and fellow musician
Iggy Pop along as his companion on the tour. Following a March 21, 1976, show, Bowie and Pop were arrested together for
marijuana possession in
Rochester, New York, although charges were later dropped. ==Title==
