Isn't that a fantastic performance? I also love the drums in that song. Anyone heard the original? What's it like?

I was shocked at how well he was able to control his voice even in an unedited live situation when I saw him last year. I mean, it sounded almost like on a record. Incredibly strong - best live singing I have ever witnessed. "China Girl" shook the stands on that night.

On www.amazon.de someone wrote a review of the Reality DVD, saying that he was disappointed that on some songs, for example Fantastic Voyage, his voice was digitally reworked so that he would sound cleaner. Usually his voice would break while holding notes and that would be characteristically Bowie.
Punk.

Hmmm... as far as I can remember it's not that different - I just think Bowie's version is a vast improvement on it. In fact, you'd think the original was some sort of a quickly thrown-together, tribute-like cover version of Dave's.
