Bowie Thread!

Are live bowie albums worth owning?

What does Sup Forums think about the Next Day?

Weird OCD I have. Usually delete pics the second I save them if they're easily remake-able.

It's alright.

A great album, a creative mind-dump.

Just listening to the Blackstar album now. A year on from the first time I heard that song, it still blows my mind. If anything, I appreciate it more now that I've got into the groove.

Lazarus is still too raw for me to fully immerse in though. ;__;

Was listening to the Lazarus cast album before and it's not bad, but it's just a reminder of what an incredible artist Bowie was. While those singers are all great by any measure, their delivery just sounds flat if you're familiar with Bowie's performance.

He has such incredible vocal control, he just squeezes that pitch a few cents to add an extra dimension. Really underrated vocalist.

It's strange, I'm not too sure where Bowie is getting at with it. Is it about death? Violence? Or did he just read a bunch of novels? Musically it's a solid Bowie album, the ideas from Reality are there and it works.

Definitely, just check them out out Youtube. It's interesting to hear the evolving set and style as well, like the Ziggy songs played on Stage vs the Spiders live album. As a fan I also really like the Serious Moonlight and Glass Spider shows; incredibly slick stuff.

As a Bowie fan you owe it to yourself to get A Reality Tour.

4-days is also a good listen. A bit more bootleggy and raw, and you get to hear Bowie say:

>my little China girl says
>oh babe just shut the fuck up
