Bowie lived for another dozen years before dying of cancer in 2016. But he retired from touring in 2004 and basically went into seclusion until coming out with new studio albums in 2013 and 2016. At the time of this concert, he was touring to support his album "Reality," released in late 2003. I previously commented that I'm not a big fan of Bowie's songwriting from the late 1980s onward. I still think he went into a prolonged slump. But "Reality" was a pretty good album, and it got a lot of critical praise. I think he was finding his musical groove again around this time. He would finish strongly with his last two albums in 2013 and 2016, so it's a shame we don't have any concerts from that time period.
Only "New Killer Star" and "The Loneliest Guy" come from "Reality." There are some unusual choices with some of the other songs. For instance, "Sister Midnight" is a song Bowie wrote, but he gave it to Iggy Pop for a 1977 album. Similarly, he wrote "All the Young Dudes," but gave it to Mott the Hoople, who had a big hit with it in 1972. "Cactus" is a Pixies song that he recorded for his 2002 album "Heathen."
Everything here is officially unreleased, as far as I know. The sound quality is excellent.
This album is 59 minutes long.
