last night i went and saw david bowie. not sure if it deserved its own thread. there was a threat of rain - it sprinkles during the support act - but the skies cleared for bowie
i thought he was amazing
he opened with rebel rebel - came out wearing tight black pants, with a brown leather belt, black top, red tie sort of thing and a jacket.
he looked good
can't quite remember what he played - fame was the third song i think, a highlight for me. he lost the jacket not long after this and he was wearing a black sleeveless shirt but i was too far away to read what it said. i was fairly close to the front and off to the right - luckily he favoured the right of the stage. he played a good range of songs - some old, some new, a couple of covers (pixies - cactus and velvet underground - white light white heat). man who sold the world not long after - so beautiful.
under pressure was probably song of the night. the whole band was excellent but the female vocalist who did freddy's part - i think her name was gail - she had the most interesting voice - sounded a lot like freddy. so much passion in the song - the whole crowd was so into it. afraid of america was good - loved the screens behind him as well.
i think he did heroes fairly close to the end. came out and did 3 songs as encore - changes was one of them - can't remember the other 2 at the moment.
easily one of the best concerts i have been too. my mum and brother were half a k away in the grandstand - but still thought it was fantastic. sound was perfect, crystal clear and not too loud
crowd was happy, david was sooooo motherfucking sexy, i think he's the sexiest man alive. he's such an entertainer, i love him.
