    Mortality...

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    Only deaths in recent years that got to me were Winehouse and Hoffman, but neither to any huge extent.

     

    Not accusing anyone on this board of this but being involved in recovery circles for a number of years I've noticed a phenomenon regarding death. Sometimes people seem to publish grief as though it were a competition--i.e. "I was a bigger [fan/friend/what have you] than you, as evidenced by how intense and long I'm grieving as compared to how intense and long you're grieving"

     

    Kind of a spiritually sick form of self pity.

    Mostly "celebrity" deaths don't phase me much. It happens. Bowie was such a huge part of my musical journey though that it had an effect. Not claiming to have known him but I did get to meet him once. One of the bigger thrills of 25+ years in the music biz. Glen Frey was more about what he died from. I've been dealing with the same issue for 8 years now & the disease is advancing. Winter is especially brutal. RA is an insidous disease with a lot of variations. Has to be taken into account with anything I want to do. Someone described it as having a thousand tiny rats chewing on all of your joints at the same time. That's not far off...

    Watched Bowie's Serious Moonlight Tour DVD last night -- man, that was fun to watch.

     

    Earl Slick definitely over played a bit -- but I can't see Vaughan fitting in at all with the band.

     

    Loved the two back up singers, too. I thought the overall production was great --- anybody who thought Bowie sold out around this time is a weirdoe (To quote Lammy).

    There are good quality boots of the tour rehearsals with SRV out there. Some of it works real well, some not so much. Worth checking out for sure.

    I was lucky to see the first night of the last tour & they were outstanding. I saw the band plenty back in the day & they were hit/miss. Always interesting though. When they opened for Tom Petty, the first half of the set was beyond brilliant. A guy yelled out for "Black Diamond" & Paul said "give me $10 & we'll play it". So the guy did & it rocked totally. Then the drugs wore off. They just sort of stopped playing midsong & wandered off stage. I think they had too good a connection for something that wasn't good for them in Seattle. I loved how they ended the reunion tour with the tshirts & stuff. So punk rock.

    I bought the download of the 2nd Brooklyn show. Very nice! I wanted "Space Oddity" & went with night 2 because of the setlist. "Spiders" was the push over the cliff for me. As much as I hate buying downloads, I've bought a few of the Roadcase shows & have not been disappointed. @ $9, the price is realistic. Still would prefer cd but understand the economics. Happy that the band is putting out hi quality live recordings. BTW, "Space Oddity" is stellar!

    I'm debating on seeing them. If the setlist looks good after night one I'll probably buy a ticket. Please write your review once the shows over. I have never seen him Live before

    I will write a review for sure. You know, Iggy is 68 now. If you've never seen him, you should go if you can get tickets. He is legendary & puts on an incredible show. Word is he was still stage diving as of last year. His voice is still sounding real good, too.

    Anybody else going to see Iggy & Josh Homme? I got real lucky & scored 11th row tickets for the 1st night of the tour. Post Pop Depression has leaked on the internet & its sounding like a masterpiece to me. I'm still going to buy it when it comes out next month as the quality will be better. Josh Homme & crew have done right by Iggy. I read an interview with Iggy where it sure sounds like he is going to basically retire. Based on this album, it looks like he is going out in style. The band on the tour is going to be the same on the record + a few ringers. Word is they are going to do material from Iggy's whole career with emphasis on the new material & the Berlin records. At this point, they are only doing 20 dates worldwide in cool, old theaters. I'm pretty stoked about the whole thing.

    i saw 'em 8 or 9 times and that was always tucked into the middle of the set, it seemed. but their set lists were always all over the place.

    1 GBV show I saw where Bob went over the cliff (lot of stuff ended up on the drunken rants record), Bob slurred/announced that they were going to do Bee "f***ing" Thousand in its entirety @ about 1:15 AM (closing time 2:00 AM). & by God they did most of it. Epic but no "Kicker of Elves". :rock

    ^^^  Agree.  Sound + Vision is one of my favorite Bowie songs.  There's something about the way Bowie sings the word "vision" that makes me smile every time.  It has a harmonic quality to it -- like a vibrating pipe.

    Blue, blue.... :thumbup
