Christmas has seen my Bowie collection increase somewhat, has it not. I am now the proud owner of the Reality Tour DVD, filmed in Ireland and before Derek's heart scare.
it's not really all that much of a surprise that his heart started sending slow down warnings, not if this is an example of the energy spent on the whole tour. a 30 song set, no less, with an unusual choice of songs to do.
have not watched it all as of yet, but the standout highlight for me has to be a new, reworked acoustic version of Loving The Alien. cringed at and slammed when it first appeared in 1984, time has done the song many favours, and with the overwhelming popularity of the excellent book The Da Vinci Code, the lyrics possibly now make all the more sense. well worth a listen!
also now on the shelf is the Christianne F soundtrack. it's basically a compilation of the "Berlin Trilogy" albums, except it features an ultra-rare German-English mix of "heroes"/"helden". a very nice thing to have indeed.
