Amazing guitar right enough but not played by Ronson on the record. He had
parted from Bowie by the time Heroes was recorded and it's Robert Fripp of
King Crimson who plays on the original record.
Had forgotten that Ronson played with Bowie at that show. Might have to go
and dig out my video...seem to remember Spinal Tap played as well.
