Main point was......Please, Gazza - download the "BBC" recordings of 2002 from Hungercity
I am a big fan of the "Heathen" album, and in fact the "BBC" sessions is even stronger than the official release.......

On my way there, his last two albums back to back in 2002/2003 were really lovely, great music and production, unlike most of what he did between that and Let's Dance. The Tin Machine stuff was really beneath him...

Why no love for Tin Machine? the first studio effort imo is his best since his last classic Scary Monsters. Oy Vey Baby is a smokin live set though the second studio falls a little short. The only other thing i have from between those two is the Glass Spider live set which looks comical you had to be there. The nineties were much better more introspective i really regret not seeing the Outside tour.

I liked the first Tin Machine record. 'Under The God' rocks like a bastard from hell!

My everlasting memory of the Glass Spider tour tour was the opening to the show I saw at Slane Castle. While it was a fine gig in many ways, when you saw Bowie descending on to the stage out of a spider's arse, it was, in hindsight, a classic 'jump the shark' moment.

I missed the Outside tour. He played Belfast (I think for the only time ever), I had a ticket and took a bad dose of 'flu and couldnt go. The only concert I've ever missed due to ill-health.
