I'm not into Bowie (yet?), but I read his statement and I have to say it's refreshing to hear someone who wants to release a concert warts and all, rather than pick a different show or do a mix and match. | |

It would be nice if he'd release one that has never been released before. All of these re-issues are getting tired. "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

Yeah, but this one's been out a couple of times already, as a semi-legal release. So yaaaawn! I will get it though.  There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently |

Even the bloody blasted Glass Spider Tour has a live album. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently |

Beautiful....The studio album is one of my all time faves by anyone. I have footage of his live shows from this tour as well. I ADORE this shit. So, this will complete it. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Bowie and Costello both suffer from Reissue madness.

You need an encyclopedia to keep track of what tracks are on what. I like that they release outtakes and bonus, but it's getting old. They should start to go direct like Phish or Ani and release stuff for $10 via lossless download and cd's. yeah, but I wish they could pass some of that feeling to Prince! | |

Agreed. While I understand he may have a reluctance to play live/ tour following his rumoured heart attack a few years back (I know he's done the odd live appearance since, but only guesting doing one or two songs IIRC), I'm still not sure what the deal is with the virtual famine of new Bowie studio material since then. From what can be gathered, his health seems to have been stable since that time, so I doubt it's directly health-related. I've heard it said he might be disillusioned with the music industry, but if he had completed anything interesting in the studio, I'd say that Bowie, like Prince, would be like a kid with a new toy, wanting to show the world what he done. 
That said, after a serious health episode like that, priorities can change. If he just wants to kick back for now (or forever even), spend time with his young family etc, he's already given more than most already. But, selfishly, I'm just in the mood for a truly mad new Bowie record .'Man, am I riffin' this evening!' - Louis Armstrong | |

But yes, we're selfish bastards and want some Bowie, too!
My best friend actually knows someone who was his nurse when he had the emergency operation in Hamburg in 2004. Had his people get him a bigger TV that he donated to the hospital afterwards! | |

New stuff from Bowie? I hope so, but the only info I know of is some work with the Arcade Fire & TV on The Radio on albums released in the last 2 years or so.
Hurrah i awake from yesterday
alive but the war is here to stay so my love catherina and me decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea not to die but to be re-born away from a life so battered and torn.... forever... | |
