His shows in Atlantic City and Washington D.C. have been delayed. The opening night of his tour will now be in Boston. Tickets will be honored for shows scheduled at a later date. This is the 2nd time he's gotten sick in the last month. I hope he takes it easy. He's getting up there. Get well soon David.

i know... i'm very bummed. i've been looking forward to the DC show for quite a while... hope all is well with DAvid and he reschedules SOON.

JonSnow said:

There are a lot of gaps in his schedule, so hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

Well this just shows it happens to the best of us!!

I am down myself, for the second if not the third time with this flu thing and I cant seem 2 shift it!! I havent really been well for the past 6 weeks due to this!!

Aw dang...that doesn't sound good at all.

Anxiety said:

He better not postpone our Chicago date.

Yah I know...I've been thinking about buying tix for the other two shows if there are any left after xmas (by whatever "creative" means necessary)...but I'd rather Uncle Dayvid sound good and be in good health than be a bratty fan, so it's all good I spose...sigh...

Anxiety said:

Yeah, same here. Whatever he has to do. I've been a bit scared for him ever since he had that heart scare a few years back. I hope you're able to get tickets for the other shows. I might try that too.

What happened with the heart scare? This is not good news about the flu. It hits so hard and leaves you so drained. He must espend an incredible amount of energy for the traveling and the shows. I hope he is feeling well very soon. He needs some of your healing herbal teas TRON. I'll give him a ring and set up a delivery for you. Is he in the US or England now?

bratchildsfriend said:

Not sure where he is.

I don't remember the specifics, but he was hospitalized back around 2000/2001 for something. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was something wrong with his heart. I'll see if I can find out what happened.

I'm still trying to get tix to his Cleveland show in January. I hope he'll play some tracks from the Berlin era. That's the era that has been inspiring me lately.

NWF said:

The ones from the Berlin era that I've heard of him playing on this tour are:

Breaking Glass
Sound And Vision
Be My Wife
A New Career In A New Town
"Heroes"
Sister Midnight
Fantastic Voyage

He's been doing Sister Midnight??? I thought I'd been keeping up to date with the man's set lists, but I never saw this...awesome! This tune has been a recent obsession of mine, as I'd never realized "Red Money" from Lodger had a previous incarnation...

Anxiety said:

Pretty fuckin' cool huh? Have you heard the '76 rehearsal version.

TRON said:

Cloudbuster said:

TRON said:

Yup, I love that version...he's a fool not to have that sound footage cleaned up and properly released. The whole rehearsal is pretty mindblowing, actually...

Anxiety said:

Yeah. It's not like he doesn't have a million official live albums already. One more couldn't hurt.

And how many artists, especially of his stature, have officially released a concert rehearsal? It has all the brilliance of a good live show, and it shows what a consummate workaholic professional Bowie's always been, even at his most drug-besotted, ha...

Anxiety said:

Isn't there video of that rehearsal as well?

TRON said:

I would be watching it right now if there was one that I could get my mitts on...

Anxiety said:

I think I've seen it on Ebay coupled with the Cracked Actor film.

I hope he feels better soon.
I got tix for Saturday.
