David Bowie music

A Reality Tour

This is a wonderful live album. Bowie has an excellent band, and the performances are top-notch. Of course, the newer material is good rather than great, and I dock it one star for that. The versions of the classic songs are outstanding, especially "All The Young Dudes" and "Five Years." This album is worth buying for one song alone: "Under Pressure." Bassist Gail Ann Dorsey sings Freddie Mercury's part, and her voice is just phenomenal. I got the CD two days ago, and I've already listened to that track about twenty times in my car.

Transformer

Released in December 1972 and produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, the sophomore solo effort by Lou Reed delivered an incredible array of material, several quickly becoming signature themes to what was an already legendary career.

Each of the 11 songs (clocking 36:40) of mostly new material - some had been demos for the Velvet Underground - is Reed as an expert storyteller, with the urban street being the scene after the 9-to-5 masses are home in the suburbs.

The singles were Walk on the Wild Side (#16 on the 1973 Billboard Pop Singles chart) and Satellite of Love - with Vicious, Perfect Day, Hangin' Round and I'm So Free showing Reed's ever-changing moods.

Titles:
    1. Vicious
    2. Andy's Chest
    3. Perfect Day
    4. Hangin' 'Round
    5. Walk On The Wild Side
    6. Make Up
    7. Satellite Of Love
    8. Wagon Wheel
    9. New York Telephone Conversation
    10. I'm So Free
    11. Goodnight Ladies
    12. Hangin' 'Round (Acoustic Demo)
    13. Perfect Day (Acoustic Demo)

David Bowie - A Reality Tour

David Bowie, Gail Ann Dorsey, Earl Slick, Mike Garson, Sterling Campbell
I'm very mixed on this one. I'm a huge Bowie fan and was excited by the mix of songs, including the Iggy Pop classic, Sister Midnight. Bowie is still looking great and has a certain ease on stage. As other reviewers have pointed out, it is well-produced. But the problem for me is that it is so highly produced that it ends up being kind of dull to watch. Tons of post-production went into this (maybe that's where it happened), and you even get the idea that they asked the audience to do a bunch of stock responses that they layered in.
