Very happy to have found this 2002 performance – some 22 years afterwards! I had only been trying to find a set list to remind me of what I’d heard at that concert, and can’t believe I now have the whole concert to listen to. Having been captivated by Bowie and his music since 1972, it was great to catch him live, at last … so for me this was a special event and I can now take myself back by listening to this. Very decent sound for an audience recording – helped by a well engineered sound mix provided for the show and the acoustic environment. Unusually – crowd noise hasn’t interfered (It was a pretty laid back crowd!). I can sense the cool “atmosphere” that I remember that show having. Two songs from Low – cool. Bowie in fine voice, Earl Slick, Mike Garson, Gail and more. And! – Bowie playing his Stylophone lol – very cool.
SET LIST:
Life on Mars? Good start!
Ashes to Ashes – Good
Breaking Glass (from Low) – awesome to hear this live!
Cactus (Pixies cover)
China Girl (Iggy Pop cover)
Slip Away – very enjoyable, and Bowie gets his Stylophone out at the end! (60’s handheld electronic music maker aimed at kids)
Fame – done with the original funk style. Don’t think I’ve heard it better (or truer to the original) on any other live recording
I’ve Been Waiting for You (Neil Young cover) … great version!
I’m Afraid of Americans
5:15 The Angels Have Gone – I like this song better now that I’ve heard it live
“Heroes” … wonderful!
Heathen (The Rays)
A New Career in a New Town – one of the great instrumental tracks from Low!
Fashion – bops along appropriately … nicely done
Everyone Says ‘Hi’
Let’s Dance – this done with a live edge that makes it stand out from the dance track
Ziggy Stardust – thank god! – and Bowie sang it very true to the original, which is not always the case. Thanks mate! 🙂
All good stuff …
Gerry Leonard on guitar as well, I was there.
I don’t know why I only found this now, I’ve searched for this show many times before as it’s the only time I saw Bowie. Would love to have a DL of this or something myself.
