    About David Bowie:
    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

    Hard to believe that I’m watching this here and now in a world where David only exists in memory and media. The band he had on this tour were phenomenal - I’d argue his very best. I saw him in 1992, then at a festival show on this tour (the absolute best performance - in my top 10 favourite gigs ever at The Phoenix Festival - you can find it here on RUclips), and then a year or so later in an intimate club gig.
    The world is a better place for having artists like Bowie and Prince in it, and one that has forever tangentially shifted since their untimely departures onwards. What a gift of treasures their legacies are for us and generations to come.

      Agreed° I remember when it came out a lot of the long time fans I knew refused to buy it meanwhile I fell in love with him. more after it...

    It would be nice, I mean an absolutely fantastic RUclips event if David Bowie's RUclips channel
    had a Live Chat with some of the people David worked with. I believe Brian Eno would be up for it,
    along with Iggy Pop, maybe Toni Visconti, Robert Fripp, members of Queen, Trent Reznor, Ian Hunter,
    Nile Rodgers, that list goes on. Plus, you could have artists like St Vincent who was influenced by David,
    along with many others. David's channel could have different artists at different time slots.
    The event could be all day long.
    Seriously, I think it's a great idea.
    They could also have live donations to a favorite charity.
    We should do these events while we still have the opportunity to.

    "Little Wonder" is a great song & the album at the time when released in 1997 was timely b/c 90's electronic/techno/industrial music was reaching it's peak. Not sure though in 2021 if it aged well. What do you all think?

    For some reason, I avoided listening to Bowie's albums after the Let's Dance album. His other stuff was so good and stupid me assumed the reviews for his later albums were crap.
    It was a mistake as I been listening to his newer albums and I have to say, that the bad reviews are crap. I think Outside and The Next Day were just amazing. Maybe it was because he did his shift to more disco sound or some obscure reason, the reviewers gave him bad reviews. Maybe also because they are comparing to his older direction.
    I think the newer albums are just as good, but just a different sound and maybe whoever was writing the bad reviews didn't give the albums a few listens. Me personally, I've listened to albums and at the first listen I didn't get it, but once you hear it a few times you start to like it. I didn't really appreciate Low but one day it just clicked. Now it's my favorite album.
    (**By the way, that jacket he's wearing on the cover of Earthling is just amazing. )
