Bowie also uses a clip of him in front of the mars hotel in the “rebel rebel” video…check it on you tube…its only for a few seconds
The Jean Genie video has it in footage shot in 1972 when Bowie Played Winterland in late October.
It was demolished in the 70’s, or maybe 80’s to make way for a big convention center. One single photo of the real mars Hotel exists and I finally put it together.
I watched the Mars Hotel get torn down, sometime before July, 1981, from my office at 657 Mission St, approximately a block north, and about two-three east.
There’s a film on Youtube called The Grateful Dead Movie (or something like that). At one brief interval, a mechanical digger pushes over the last standing remnant; the doorway with the sign over it. The movie was released in 1977
