You could share this with Keef: he would understand spilling—ahem—a father's ashes.


This might sound bizarre, but I actually spilled some of my step-father-in-laws ashes today.  I Swear to God, I would only share this with you RP listeners, since it wouldn't be appropriate with anyone else I know of......{#Cheers}

I've got the triple CD version.  Like a lot of artist, Bowie packaged his old live in the studio BBC performances - which is great stuff.

And then he added this recent live concert.

Definitely worth the money.

Here is a quarter - go buy a clue my friend'.

This is an absolutely brilliant latter day version of what was a fantastic pop rock tune by DB.

Never forget being in London when this hit #1 on all the juke boxes.

So much better than "Fame" (which was played maybe 2 hours ago).  As many have said, the bassline is great (not all-time, though, people, let's stay real!), but this song makes the icemang Top 1000.

Ooh, I like this live version. Especially that one guitar meandering around in the background (in my right speaker) that I'd never noticed before—-and perhaps wasn't on the studio version/played the same on the studio version.

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.
