As for that Scottie, I was scratching my head for a minute, but then I got it.

I LOVE Blue JEan and that whole Genie get up he had for the video including those paper streamers and glitter that appeared to shoot out of his fake nails!!!!

As for the Scottie LOL. BTW, my Laine won best reserve bitch last week in a show. I thought Hmmmm - the apple perhaps did not fall too far from the tree

He did Disco King at my show in Chicago last month! He also did an AMAZING version of "Slip-Away" from Heathen at ours. We had the second longest set of any of his shows, and he did SO much crazy stuff, including several songs off Low. His cover of the Underground's "White Light White Heat" was awesome, so was... "The Man Who Sold the World" (which the goth kids next to me recognized as 'dude, he's doing a Nirvana cover!')

We had a brief grip and grin after the show, and he...is...BEAUTIFUL. All I could do was go cross-eyed and tell him I loved his jacket.

That new version of "Rebel Rebel" was originally on the Charlie's Angels Full Throttle soundtrack this summer... it's AWESOME.

Edit: I almost forgot! He did "China Girl" AND "Let's Dance" at my show, and while I'm not a huge fan of that era and album, Let's Dance was AWESOME- it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen on stage. The night before my show he did "Modern Love"- it would've been hilarious to get all three of those songs in one night!

You know I'm really surprised he did "Modern Love" and "Let's Dance" seeing as how he has expressed immense hatred for that album, vowing to never play songs from it live again. I was surprised he did China Girl!!

Back when Heathen came out in June of '02, he was on A&E's live request show and someone called in and requested "China Girl." He played it and I think it's the best version of it that I've EVER heard.

Yeah, I saw that special. I was truly blown away at how good it was. I especially liked it when the little boy called in with his dad and David was all cute with him. At the risk of sounding totally schmaltzy, it was quite precious.

Bowie is AMAZING. Period. I'm glad to see there's other Ledgies who are fans besides me! I saw him here in a theater a couple of weeks ago...he left my chin on the floor, as usual! That VOICE...it gets better and better with every passing year. He's just made his way around the US mostly in theaters, and he'll go around again in arenas shortly. He is playing whatever he feels like playing each night, so when you see setlists don't neccesarily expect those exact songs if you see him. His latest album (Reality) is so unbelievable. I mean, un-believable !
Wow! Some of you even have his recent stuff, like Heathen. I still can't put my finger on how I feel about Heathen...not that I must! It is incredible in that it's like it's very own mood. There's happy, sad, depressed, excited, pensive, and Heathen.

I DO know that Cactus (from Heathen) is indeed one of my all-time Bowie faves. I think it's safe to say he has the coolest web fanclub ever, as well!

he had the flu or something when he came to boston so i missed out on seeing him.

glad to hear he's still a good performer.

YES!!! Thanks for the heads-up Livia!

You're right, Fleetwood Mac totally needs to play Austin. I'm sick of trekking all the way up to Dallas or down to Houston!! Blech!!

I bought 2 tix - it's general admission!

Yeah, and that's scary.

Where are they selling tickets?

Bowie put out some awesome **** lately! I bought couple of new things at Media Play yesterday.

I got the reissue of "Black Tie White Nose" for $20 and it comes with some great extras. There is the album, a DVD with a making-of documentary and music vids, and a disc of bonus songs and remixes (and it's a full 74-minute disc of extras; unlike the SYW extra disc!).

They had the remastered version of the Ziggy Stardust concert, too. It was on two discs and came with the concert on DVD; again, it was only $20.

The "Sound and Vision" box set was too much for me, but it looks great and I want soon.

Sony got the rights to Outside, Earthling, and Hours from EMI and we're re-releasing them in March with bonus tracks and updated packaging!

The Sound and Vision box set is AWESOME.

Do you know if they're going to be two disc sets? You have me so excited!
