It's the glossy 80's and Bowie loses his bite
I have always enjoyed Bowie's music, and am old enough to remember when most of the 18 songs on this video came out. So what. So I can say that what has always intrigued me about Bowie, besides his ever-changing tastes, is his choice of musicians. He chooses who he likes to play with.
His choice of musicians on this tour make me cringe. Sorely missing is his old mate, the dearly departed Mick Ronson, meister of the tasty guitar licks on most 70's Bowie. With him here are some dudes who sound influenced by the Flock of Seagulls. And worst of all is the drummer, Tony Thompson. This guy was in vogue in the 80's with most british pop singers. And what does he bring? Constant over-playing and a never ending collect of fills which he always rushes and ends prematurely on 4.
I was bored with this set severly, which is odd to say given Bowie's efforts of putting on a theatrical performance.
