I just showed my parents the A Reality tour DVD which they surprisingly flipped for, but it also drove home this fact: people that discount 90s–00s Bowie are clinically insane.
ARG! I have all the records and i NEVER listen to them! (except The Next Day) No excuses.

Hello,

I listen to the Reality Tour quite a bit - it's kind of my go-to Bowie album when I want a general overview of what I like. There's some omissions I'd correct (no Scary Monsters, Fashion, Boys, I am a DJ from the modern era) but overall it's very good. The best version of Never Get Old is on it.

Word. I usually reach for 70s Bowie, but honestly, the only truly bad decade of his career was roughly 1984-1993. And even then there were great songs, just the overall quality dipped.

I find good in all era's of Bowie, I've even cherry picked I bunch of songs from the 80's that I like. He really was on a roll with the Reality tour, I'm glad they made that DVD. I saw some of his "club" shows in NYC and the Reality Tour in MSG was much better than the Bowienet show in Roseland.

So these are different versions to what was on the "Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976)" box set?

Yes! and they are pretty amazing, they are also complete songs not just partials.

These should have been in the box set

But then how could they make more money later?

To be more serious though, I wouldn't mind some kind of YA deluxe with all this Gouster stuff on it. I haven't been very interested in buying these boxes.
