Kiss you in the rain...
David Bowie played his first outdoor festival show of the 'Heathen' tour to an ecstatic crowd last night. Though the set was performed in a steady drizzle of rain, the 12,000-strong audience's spirit certainly wasn't dampened as they clapped along to the like of '5:15' and 'Heathen'. The crowd obviously showed great appreciation for the older stuff too, greeting songs such as 'Changes' and 'Ziggy Stardust' with much joyous enthusiasm.
David was by all accounts in joyous mood too, drawing from a twenty-one-song set list that was similar to the Paris show, but included both of the Side One 'Low' instrumentals, and opened with 'Life On Mars?'. Members of various of the support bands danced along sidestage. Jack and Meg White of The White Stripes getting down to 'A New Career In A New Town'...now that's a sight I would've loved to have witnessed!
Anyway, here is the complete set list from last night's show:
