glasgow jock Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Aye saw the clip of it on BBC news this morning - also 2 other Bowie programmes on after it until the wee small hours - don't know whether to record them or be rather tired in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Hmmm. Do i tell Mr Tdyer63 about this or continue to plough our way through Sons of Anarchy this evening. I suppose after putting him through another double episode of Coronation st i should fess up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heuch Moray Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 What a night to have been at Bowie's final UK live performance 10 years ago, the only time he played the Albert Hall. Here's his impromptu guest appearance doing two Floyd songs at David Gilmour's gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheres the pies Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 think the tempo of the prom is rather sombre thought it would have been a bit more upbeat Anna calvi great voice all the same no to sure about aled Jones who's on now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Marc Almon butchering Life on Mars was pretty painful. Out of tune, out of time and wrong words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flumax Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Sat up til the end. Couldn't believe the "arrangements". Lots of artistic licence. Not sure it was for Bowie fans, more music fans who enjoy challenging experiences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisegerwind Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 If you want to listen to Bowie and you don't have the original records, I think you can go on a thing called 'youtube' or 'spotify' and hear them, they won't however have the scratches an clicks that have accumulated over years of emotional turmoil.
