There's nothing like seeing Bowie onstage. I would've preferred a DVD of the Outside tour(the one with Nine Inch Nails) but this will do. This is from a show in Dublin. Bowie is in great shape, musically and physically. It's a nice touch that he does a few songs he has written for other artists. He's got a solid backing band here. Highlights include Sunday(extended to include a David Gilmour style guitar solo), and the songs previously written for other artists. Lots of piano songs on the setlist, which I like. Plus the keyboardist gets points for style, with that cool ghost print shirt. I hope that Synth-Tec makes one of those. My only gripe is the bare bones approach to several of the songs. Though most of the older songs are improved by Earl's guitar and Sterling's drums, the more experimental songs are stripped down. So the NIN guitars are no longer on the more industrial sounding songs. Also, he just jumps into Heroes in mid speech, so it doesn't get a proper beginning. I happen to like the MTV effects, though I can see why others would not. Bottom line, a good keepsake capturing a good show.

Though his Pink Floyd bandmates are missed, this is one of Roger's best concerts. It takes a small army to recapture the magic that David Gilmour and Richard Wright produced, which explains why the band is so big. There is a nice mix of both Floyd and Roger's solo work. Surprisingly, Roger doesn't sing the passages originaly sung by David and Rick. Doyle Bramhall and Jon Carin handle those passages. Combine their vocals with the female singers and Roger's own world weary whisper, and you get alot of tonal variety and balance. Many of the songs are improvements, such as Mother(now a duet with a female singer) and Welcome To The Machine. All in all, Floyd may be more than the sum of its parts, but the solo outings of the individual members are worth a look, and here's a good place to start.
