Yes, indeed...some of the best and funkiest bass action ever in a song! (Both the Scary Monsters and this version seem to jam equally well in such regard.) George Murray, you really ROCKED it, for sure! And I can't help but remember that shockingly SURREAL video from way back when...

One of the only Bowie songs I can seem to tolerate right now. Like Picasso experiencing his blue period, I am experiencing an Anti-Bowie period for some reason. I can't understand this change in taste except for the familiarity that breeds contempt.

Yeah, especially because "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)" didn't come out until 1980. Thanks to everyone who did the legwork on this version. |

I should delete that comment. Lemmoth wrote back in Feb '08: This is a multi volume set - two disks were the classic BBC archives (like the Beatles, Who and Zeppelin have) going way back as far as '68,
There is also a bonus disc from a June 2000 concert live at the BBC Radio Studio. Bowie gave some of his best concerts in 99 - 00.
