Driven by an entirely deeper dynamic than most pop artists, David Bowie inhabited a very special world of extraordinary sounds and endless vision. Unwilling to stay on the treadmill of rock legend and avoiding the descent into ever demeaning and decreasing circles of clich, Bowie wrote and performed what he wanted, when he wanted. His absence from the endless list of important events has just fuelled interest. Constant speculation about what the guy was up to has even led some to wonder if this is his greatest reinvention ever. David Jones!
David Robert Jones was born in Brixton on January 8, 1947. At age thirteen, inspired by the jazz of the London West End, he picked up the saxophone and called up Ronnie Ross for lessons. Early bands he played with The Kon-Rads, The King Bees, the Mannish Boys and the Lower Third provided him with an introduction into the showy world of pop and mod, and by 1966 he was David Bowie, with long hair and aspirations of stardom rustling about his head. Kenneth Pitt signed on as his manager, and his career began with a handful of mostly forgotten singles but a head full of ideas. It was not until 1969 that the splash onto the charts would begin, with the legendary Space Oddity (which peaked at No. 5 in the UK). Amidst his musical wanderings in the late 60s, he experimented with mixed media, cinema, mime, Tibetan Buddhism, acting and love. The album, originally titled David Bowie then subsequently Man of Words, Man of Music, pays homage to all the influences of the London artistic scene. It shows the early song-writing talent that was yet to yield some of rock-n-rolls finest work, even if it would take the rest of the world a few years to catch up with him.

Paula SJuly 22, 2024I love listening to and watching David in live performances. Most times he'll do a song better and/or slightly differently than the studio version, true testament to an excellent musician and his band. Glastonbury 2000 surpasses that ability, wish I could have been there. This box set arrived after several weeks from the order date but the wait was worth it.......also I live in Canada so I'm used to waiting for postal deliveries! I thoroughly recommend this CD/DVD set to any Bowie fan.

Jack C.September 8, 2020I bought this specifically for the dvd, having already purchased the LP. The performance is outstanding. Absolutely stunning. I'm glad to have the video to enjoy also. This performance is an utter joy from start to finish.

Jilli RobertsJanuary 15, 2019This is a supreme concert with masterpiece delivery, an obvious exercise of pure joy. I have a personal preference for live performance and recordings and I enjoy new arrangements and the live charge between performers and audience. This one has it all and it's going to be played a lot. Bowie always had a principal of leaving stage front to allow his musicians their time in the sun. I like the camaraderie, and in this case, the group hug with Gail and Ster at the end. Priceless. The sleeve notes are some of the best I've ever read. This is one innovative packaging that will never lose itself on the shelf, just like Bowie.
