Juan Title: Re: To David Bowie Post by: PeterSt on January 11, 2016, 02:05:14 pm I never listened to him much. But when I heard the sad news yesterday it was still the shivers taking over. Another legend passed away. Thank you Juan. Peter Title: Re: To David Bowie Post by: AlainGr on January 11, 2016, 03:24:14 pm I heard that just 15 minutes ago... Some songs from him I still remember, but they mostly were from the 70s...
He was special and yes, a legend... RIP Major Tom... Alain Title: Re: To David Bowie Post by: doublelife on January 11, 2016, 07:05:55 pm This is so sad. One of my all-time favourite artists. A true genius. I don't think we will ever see anyone even close to David Bowie again. Thanks for all the amazing music.
Paul Title: Re: To David Bowie Post by: Robert on January 11, 2016, 09:38:16 pm Yes sad day. I discovered him through Aladdin Sane but loved his Berlin albums.
Saw him live in 1978 and was one of the best concerts I've ever attended. Superb production and sound. Was never filmed but sound track was recorded. Best live production was his Glass Spider tour which I never saw but have the DVD(hard to find these days). Downloaded Blackstar from HD tracks yesterday 24/96 and it is a fitting last album.

Quote The future of the music industry David Bowie gives the New York Times a prediction about the industry in 2012: "Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it’s like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. "You’d better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that’s really the only unique situation that’s going to be left. It’s terribly exciting. But on the other hand it doesn’t matter if you think it’s exciting or not; it’s what’s going to happen." Robert |
