Considering he woke up and said "I'm going to shave my eyebrows and wear my couch as a suit" he did OK

Nah I reckon he lost his eyebrows down the back of his couch.

Re: The David Bowie is God Thread
Hello,
I've a bit of an odd request. Scary Monsters is my top choice for Bowie album - just tremendous for so many reasons! I've got Vampires of Human Flesh but was hoping to come across a good show where he was either touring to support Scary Monsters or played quite a few tracks from that album. Does anyone here have recommendations?
Thanks!

Re: The David Bowie is God Thread
Pretty sure he never toured 'Scary Monsters', and I don't think I've ever heard a song from it played live, not even "Ashes to Ashes". Agree it's a brilliant album, top 5 Bowie for me.gkbill wrote: ↑09 Apr 2020, 9:49pmHello,

Re: The David Bowie is God Thread
He definitely did a few songs, though not all. He didn’t tour scary Monsters. Or Lodger, for that matter. Bowie tours were long but spaced out. I think he basically toured solo in 1983 and 1987.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑09 Apr 2020, 10:17pmPretty sure he never toured 'Scary Monsters', and I don't think I've ever heard a song from it played live, not even "Ashes to Ashes".

Re: The David Bowie is God Thread
Yeah, I was thinking just as I was writing my response to gkbill: I bet Wolt or Tep or Marky are gonna come on and say yup - he played a bunch of songs post-1980. Cuz I (very unfortunately) lost David on my radar after 'Scary Monsters' (even 'Let's Dance' was foggy/meh for me at the time) until 'Heathen'. So, yeah, I guessed there actually were probably live versions, official or boots.Wolter wrote: ↑09 Apr 2020, 10:38pmHe definitely did a few songs, though not all. He didn’t tour scary Monsters.

Thanks to all who responded. I did a soulseek search and found those above as well as a lot of others. David could really project an aggressive fear with Scary Monsters and it's amplified live - love that! I did come across some oddities such as Can't Explain with Stevie Ray Vaughn and a good version of I'm Afraid of Americans with Sonic Youth. I think my techno-knowledge will allow me to share - not sure about post. Again, thanks to those who responded! This has been great.

The acoustic Scary Monsters from the late 90s almost sound like they’re arranged for American albums-era Johnny Cash.gkbill wrote: ↑10 Apr 2020, 12:05amHello,muppet hi fi wrote: ↑09 Apr 2020, 11:14pmYeah, I was thinking just as I was writing my response to gkbill: I bet Wolt or Tep or Marky are gonna come on and say yup - he played a bunch of songs post-1980.

Re: The David Bowie is God Thread
While watching the 400 minute documentary on the Friday the 13th movies, I learned that the producer for most of them, Frank Mancuso Jr, was a huge BOWIE fan, and that four of the screenplays were filmed under alias titles, including "Crystal Japan", "Repetition", "Aladdin Sane" and "Ashes to Ashes"

James mentioned listening to Aladdin Sane on twitter and I realized I hadn’t listened in a while. Damn this album rules.
