David Bowie

[Trebor]

Yeah the piano solo is fantastic. I prefer the other version of The Prettiest Star though.

[Wooderson]

Watch That Man is hammy aceness.

[Matt42]

So if bowie was likely to do a show next summer, which venue would he pick?

Hyde Park? O2? Olympic Park?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Glasgow Barrowlands

One gig I regret not going to, let me tell you.

Doubt he'd bother coming over to this country to have his gig cut off if he over runs by 10 minutes, and have the sound levels quieter than a mouses fart.

Glastonbury!

Failing that, I'd love to see him in Berlin. Have never been and that would be worth the trip.

[PDAD]

Watching Bowie in Berlin would be awesome.

But Glastonbury would be a lot more convenient..

[beodeejay]

Any big gig I really want to see from now on will require a trip abroad. Usually works out cheaper too.

[russycarps]

fact is though, such are the hype levels surrounding bowie these days, getting a ticket for any gigs he did now would be as hard to get as that one off led zep show.

And they'd be populated almost entirely by the absolute anuses of society, eg kate moss etc

fuck em

Which is madness, but true. A return flight to Copenhagen or Amsterdam from Manchester is less than the train to London ( or coach to Glasto for that matter )

[Zoo Music Girl]

I've seen him before but I'd still pay stupid money to see him again. For that gig I slept outside Hammersmith Apollo to get tickets at 9am!

[LondonTom]

Exactly. Having been to a gig in Stockholm recently we should be embarrassed by how quiet our (Britain and Ireland) gigs are.

[russycarps]

Got round to seeing that 5 years documentary this weekend. Was quite entertaining but I cant imagine ever bothering watching it again. Quite liked the bit with mick ronson, but much of it was quite dull and their appraisals of the albums were poor at best. Especially when they discussed Low. Anyone that didnt know better would have thought it was entirely instumental.

And tonyblair is quite right, they picked the worst version of heroes I've ever seen or heard! Abysmal sound.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I watched it too, although I have to say I really enjoyed it. I'm quite forgiving about rock documentaries though, as long as they're about people I love than I'm happy.

That version of Heroes was awful though!

[Ed209]

Watched five years at the weekend also. Was alright, good entertainment for 90 minutes, but it could have been better given the footage they had access to.

As for that version of heroes, I got the feeling that the film maker intended it to be all echoey, to add some kind of artistic effect thingy. it had purpose, rather than just it being a shit version. Combined with the image of Bowie on stage at that moment it created a surrealist dream like state, innit. You know, all arty and shit.

Berlin for me. Or somewhere where its loud. Somewhere where talking during the gig isn't possible due to the volume.

I couldn't see Glasto without a London Outdoor Show too happening. For many, it'd be a bigger deal than The Stones

[The Nal]

New video for Valentines Day

Pretty good. He looks great too.

Although its a bit "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by David Brent!

Edited July 17, 2013 by The Nal

[russycarps]

possibly the best song on the album that

[Ed209]

Haha! That is so Brent.

"If you don't know me by now'IF YOU DONT KNOW MEEEEEEEEE
