The FM broadcast has been available as a bootleg for years, but the best thing about this release is that it'll actually be available in a 21st century format (hi res audio).
ya, i've got the boot. it's a great performance with plenty of stuff he didn't perform a lot. will be nice to have the hi-res & a dvd of the whole thing.

Songs Of A Lost World *CRUMPET BOY*
New box set is out - the Reeves version of Never Let Me Down is surprisingly listenable Same tunes and melodies just with the excess tastefully toned down.
The Glastonbury 2000 package is stellar. It takes Bowie a few songs to lock it in but once that happens, the master is at the height of his powers. Stunning performance. Get the version with the dvd!
the holidays already getting to me. was just thinking about sitting on the floor in front of the tv at my grandparent's house with my great grandfather in attendance & watching bowie on the (last) bing crosby xmas special. i was about 13 or so & was already into bowie. thing "changes" was the song that got. anyway, bowie did "heroes" on the show. great version. kind of goodish holiday memory. not much family left these days.

There's a new book out called Ashes to Ashes: The Songs of David Bowie 1976-2016.
It's well researched; 10 years in the making during which the American author, Chris O'Leary, blogged it under the title Pushing Ahead of the Dame. And comprehensive, from production and musician credits to back stories, creative process, analysis of music and lyrics, notable performances and reviews, and anecdotes galore.
There's an angle of interest re: The Cure because it covers the periods Reeves Gabrels worked with Bowie and includes the albums and songs they co-produced, co-wrote or that Reeves played on.
