A shot of the intro animation from last night's show. Actually it's from Paris, but who could ever tell?
She couldn't sail but she sure could sing...
David Bowie's A Reality Tour reached Stuttgart's Hanns Martin Schleyer Halle in Germany last night. The main set was almost identical to the previous show in Zurich, but with the addition of She'll Drive The Big Car, which, by all accounts had a new acoustic intro. Slip Away was omitted from the encore.
David was in fine voice and typically playful mood, announcing that he only intended to play a fifteen-minute set, and then counting down to announce the remaining time after each song, finally announcing the last song early on in the set... he's such a wag.
Susans informs me that the sexual energy was at the usual high levels too, with David simulating some kind of intimate activity with the microphone stand. This behaviour sent the poor girl (and no doubt countless others) into spasms of delight, seeing as how she was close enough to identify the fact that he was wearing Calvin Klein grundies!
