Various artists opened for Bowie across different legs, including
UB40,
Icehouse,
The Tubes,
The Beat and
Peter Gabriel. To counteract counterfeiting, tickets and backstage passes were printed with small flaws that casual observers would not notice, but tour staff and security were trained to spot. On 30 June 1983, the performance at the
Hammersmith Odeon in London was a charity show for the
Brixton Neighbourhood Community Association in the presence of
Princess Michael of Kent. The show raised nearly £100,000 for charity (about £ in today's currency), and was performed without the standard set. The 13 July 1983
Montreal Forum performance was recorded and broadcast on American
FM radio and other radio stations worldwide, and it was from this concert that the live version of "
Modern Love" was recorded. The concert on 12 September in
Vancouver was recorded for the concert video
Serious Moonlight, that was released in 1984 and on DVD in 2006. There were discussions to release a live CD from these performances as well, but that idea was later discarded. At the
Canadian National Exhibition Stadium performance on 4 September 1983 in
Toronto, Bowie introduced special guest
Mick Ronson, who borrowed Slick's guitar and performed "
The Jean Genie" with Bowie and band. Ronson had only been asked to play the day before when he had been backstage at the previous night's show, and he later recalled: The last show of the tour, on 8 December 1983, was the third anniversary of
John Lennon's death, whom Bowie and Slick had previously worked with in the studio. Slick suggested to Bowie a few days prior to the show that they play "Across the Universe" as a tribute; but Bowie said, "Well if we're going to do it, we might as well do '
Imagine'." They rehearsed the song a couple of times on 5 December (in Bangkok) and then performed the song on the final night of the tour as a tribute to their friend. ==Legacy==
