David Bowie - BBC Sessions, Volume 12: In Concert, BBC Radio Theatre, London, Britain, 6-27-2000

The next album in my series of David Bowie BBC albums in a particularly special concert. This concert took place two days after Bowie performed in front of a massive audience at the annual Glastonbury Festival. This contrast, by contrast, was extremely small, with only 250 people fitting into the venue.

The people lucky enough to get in consisted of fan club members who won a lottery. But also, a number of elites were allowed in, including stars like Russell Crowe, Meg Ryan, Boy George, Lulu, Bob Geldof, members of Duran Duran, and more.

This concert was officially released twice. The first version came out as a bonus disc on some versions of the album "Bowie at the Beeb." But it was missing five songs. Later, it was included as part of the box set "Brilliant Adventure." This included the missing songs.

However, both of these versions were missing all the banter between songs, and there was a lot of banter. So I used a bootleg version that contained everything. The sound quality of that was just as good as the released versions. However, I did cut out two false starts to songs.

This concert is a must-have for any Bowie fan. Knowing that he was recording this for the radio as well as probable later official release, he really rose to the occasion.

This album is two hours and nine minutes long.
