If that's the only thing you have to say about Bowie you've got some records to listen to.

You shut your mouth!

Bowie is God

sbessiso has easily the worst musical taste of anyone who persists in being a nuisance on these boards. He doesn't need to listen to David Bowie, he needs to die painfully in an automobile factory.

An automobile factory? What is that, to add insult and unemployment to injury?

pertinent bowie.


i could keep going for days...

but then again....im sure bowie could too....:pulse

[SoulDischarge]

I'm pretty sure at this point there's zero chance of ever seeing this performed live, which is possibly my favorite Bowie song:

[Cherita Chen]

This is my new favorite thread.

My best friend and I talk about Bowie like he IS a God. Our theory is that he rules Space, and allows Beck to have a timeshare condo on the moon

[Monklish]

And everyone in Bowie's space-heaven has AIDS.

[Astrid]

sd not necessarily...he still plays that song.....if he does another tour it could happen.

http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/tours/setlists/reality.htm

[SoulDischarge]

Looks like Space Oddity is the rare one. I think that might have been the tour of his I saw and he did not play Station to Station, but at least there's hope (assuming I get a chance to see him again).

[Astrid]

some of that list really surprised me....like he played rebel rebel and china girl 100+ times didnt even play golden years all the way through 1 time??

BLASPHEMY!

[MissingPerson]

The Hunger is a weird, weird film.

[fatbastard]

How about the people he's worked with. Robert Fripp alone.

[Cherita Chen]

Christiane F. is a movie that haunted me afterwards. I just love the way Bowie is incorporated into the film.

i had a dream about david bowie last night. we were sitting in this giant room surrounded by wires and metaly bits....trying to rebuild circuit boards? bowie was very skilled and calm about the whole procedure....good man to have around.

oh yes.

[sbessiso]

Was it a FREAKY dream?

[emtgreg]

all good dreams are freaky dreams!!

i approve of this thread!

[yeahfontaine]

I was thinking about starting a "David Bowie Show Memories" thread and found this one to bump instead. Also, this one's more general so we can ALL participate, even if you haven't experienced the magic of a Bowie show. If you have, though, I'd LOVE to hear about your experience.

Mine...My first time seeing Bowie was at the Area 2 festival at the Gorge in Eastern Washington in August of 2002 when I was in graduate school.

I positioned myself carefully towards the front during Busta Rhymes' set and then made my move when everyone went who-the-fuck-knows-where when Busta ended. Did they go to get a beer? Nachos? Was it worth it, kids?

Anyway, got like 6 people away from the stage, front and center. Bowie came onstage and I literally almost passed out from the incredible feeling of being in his presence. That sounds ridiculous, I know, but Bowie had been (and still is) my idol since I was little. He had his hair short and he was wearing a suit and tie and looked absolutely gorgeous. Exactly as I had pictured and wanted him to be and it was only like the 5th time he'd played in the U.S. in the last 5 years so I had no idea what to expect.

Setlist:

Life on Mars
Ashes to Ashes
Breaking Glass
Cactus
China Girl
Slip Away
Space Oddity (10 seconds of it and then said, "You didn't think I was gonna go back that far, did you?" and went into next song)--heartbreaking--I think I actually screamed in pain
Fame
I'm Afraid of Americans
I've Been Waiting for You
5:15 the Angels Have Gone
Heroes
Heathen

Two Encores:
I Feel So Bad (Elvis cover to commemorate the anniversary of Elvis' death)
One Night
A New Career in a New Town
Fashion
Everybody Says Hi
Hallo Spaceboy
Let's Dance (danced all over the stage with a gorgeous negligee and threw it into the audience at the end of the song)
Ziggy Stardust (said that the very last time he ever plays in America, he'll play that song last)

Such an almost violently spiritual experience for me. High lasted for months, a hell of a lot longer than any other show I've ever seen.

Also saw him in Seattle at the Paramount Theater (never thought I'd see him at such a small venue--surreal!) and at Key Arena (the following year? can't remember and Lastfm sucks) and those shows were magnificent as well but nothing will ever top the Gorge. Even if he ever plays Coachella (dare I say it?) I'm sure I would have to camp out all day to get even relatively close. Can you imagine that mob? There would never be a "walk up during not-very-relevant-act and get ridiculously close to music god" situation.

[yeahfontaine]

Wow. Nothin', huh? No wonder you guys want Bowie to play so badly. Didn't ANYONE see him in the last decade? I know there are other 28-35 year-olds on this board who could've pulled it off!

If you did, share that shit please. Thanks.

[sbessiso]

How was Fashion live????

[PJandBompton]

This obsession with Bowie is very confusing to me...it seems that in the past decade there were a good amount of chances to see him...is it cuz he's been away for so long?

[reverb]

i saw tin machine @ the variety arts center in downtown l.a.

does that count?

[yeahfontaine]

How was Fashion live????

SO great. I was in shock when I heard the first few notes because I never thought in a million years that he'd play that one. It's always been one of my guilty pleasure Bowie faves and at the time, my roommate had it on our outgoing answering machine message. Those words sound strange now. haha

[yeahfontaine]

That's awesome! How was it?

I had forgotten about that particular Bowie incarnation. I'll have to revisit some Tin Machine stuff for kicks.

[reverb]

I had forgotten about that particular Bowie incarnation. I'll have to revisit some Tin Machine stuff for kicks.

it was really fun. never thought i'd see bowie in such an intimate setting (it's a small 950 person theater from the 20's) it rocked pretty hard. reeves was all over the place. he wasn't playing a character...he was just being david jones...a guy in a band. the thing that struck me the most was how much he was enjoying himself. it felt genuine, not a rock star going the motions of another show. when he wasn't singing or playing sax, he'd sort of sit back and just watch...and smile. yeah, he's got the charisma and all that, but it's those subtleties that stick with me after all these years.

the man is the real deal.
