I just looked at what's on ninlive and it says "Complete with David Bowie's set as well."

The download on ninlive has been updated with all the Bowie tracks. It's now the complete show in ideal quality.
Anybody here bought the CD version of Is It Any Wonder?
I bought the vinyl and there's no lossless digital version available.
I'd really appreciate if someone had a lossless rip of the CD.
Has anyone noticed the load of fantastic Bowie stuff dropping on a certain site (stringed instruments 101)? I haven't seen a lot of these before. I don't do torrents, so I may have missed them in that capacity. I saw a lot of shows in the Heathen/Reality years. That band was so great & Bowie was so friendly & at ease. The set lists were great too. I also got the first show of the "farewell to the hits" tour in vancouver. i drove up to bc for it. fantastic show & a lot longer than a lot of shows on that tour. & with adrian belew at his finest. there's some great ones from the reeves gabrels years, too. i got an excellent tape from the "outside" tour show i saw. got the nin part from ninlive & now have the bowie part. that show was just wild. even though it was largely more obscure & new stuff it was amazing. i took the evil ex gf & she complained about the lack of hits haha. sadly, sign of things to come. live & learn!
Did anyone see the Nicholas Pegg emoji quiz? Fun, but not an easy one!

looks like this standalone single came out too and changtesnowbowie is still coming out friday digitally.
^ Yes, just hoping they don't reissue the rest of Liveandwell.com too soon before I can find asuckercollector to buy my CD copy for $800...
First clip from the biopic movie 'Stardust' is online. Will be weird that the movie has no actual Bowie music in it as his family didn't give their blessing, but it is what it is.
well... https://www.davidbowie.com/blog/2020...-streaming-now
and I saw it on a somewhat illegal website where it's listed as 2020 remaster, not sure if that's the case but that would make sense if it's reissued
So I came across this little nugget that certainly was new to me, so I'd thought I share it with my fellow ETS'ers for the chance it might be news to others. It's a quote by musician Bill Nelson, who - starting in the 70s - recorded a LOT of albums as a solo artist over the years and produced a few for others (Numan, for example). In '96 he released a heavily D'n'B influenced album, called "After the Satellite Sings". Here's the quote:
"The album was an attempt to fuse rock and pop songwriting with the then cutting-edge rhythms of 'drum n' bass'. The album apparently inspired and influenced David Bowie's later 'Earthling' album, (according to then Bowie collaborator and guitarist Reeves Gabrels)."
He collaborated with Reeves Gabrels on an instrumental album, so that might be where he picked that up. The album is fantastic, Nelson is a great guitarist and here are a few songs from it for you to judge for yourself on how it might have influenced Bowie on "Earthling":
i've never listened to this^ bill nelson album but i'm familiar and a fan of his synth pop/new wave records from the 80s. looks like i should dig a little deeper into the 90s work!
Yeah, his 80s stuff is where I started, too! The Love That Whirls probably being my favorite album of his from that period. It's a direction I wish Bowie would have gone in the 80s...
I recommend checking out Atom Shop from 1998! I feel Nelson had a creative peak there, combining samples from songs and TV shows of the 50s with all kinds of musical styles ranging from D'n'B to Jazz to psychodelic Pop while maintaining a kind of futuristic theme throughout.
Also, he put out a collection of unreleased songs from those sessions called Noise Candy. It's like 120(!) songs deep.

Just seen this today - the BBC will be airing classic Glastonbury shows over a weekend at the end of June, and this includes the 2000 Bowie set in full.
I have to admit I didn't pick up the DVD, so glad it will be getting a showing.
No NIN? Boo
I have good news and terrible news.
The good news is there’s a brand new live recording from The Outside Tour in 1995: https://www.davidbowie.com/blog/2020...ming-next-week
The bad news? The NIN portion is missing
Hmm, in addition it seems they performed "A Small Plot of Land" that night, but it's also missing from the track-list:
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/david...-53d5d371.html
Bowie is the listed producer, so I guess it's possible he picked the running order while he was still around.
The NIN set from that night was one of the few times they ever played Closer to God live as well.
I imagine NIN's set wasn't included because of rights issues, and because they probably want to keep the focus on Bowie.
I'm assuming the tape ran out or something. Doesn't make sense to excise the end of the show if they have it.
Would have been nice if the NIN camp had also released a press statement about a live album from this show...
