It's been so long, so long, so long...
A Reality Tour turned up to entertain the locals at the Winnipeg Arena in Canada on Wednesday. As BowieNet members noticed, we posted the set list, and some of Erik's splendid shots, in the
But, for those of you that can't access that area of BowieNet, here's a couple of shots taken by BowieNetter rtychonick and a link to a four and a half out of five stars review from the Winnipeg Sun, from which, this excerpt:
Classic reality show - David Bowie mixes biggest hits with latest material at Arena. By Rob Williams.
He was clearly in a good mood, smiling, telling stories and joking with the audience of 8,000 throughout the night. "Good evening Toronto," he deadpanned after the first song to a chorus of boos. "Sorry Winnipeg, you crazy motherf---ers. It's great to be back. It's been a long time."
While songs like New Killer Star and Never Get Old might not be as well-known as Fame, Modern Love or The Man Who Sold The World, they mixed seamlessly into the set and proved Bowie can still write a good tune and stay somewhat relevant in today's musical landscape. The new material was warmly received by the crowd, which spanned from teenagers to people who were teenagers when Bowie was making musical history with every album.
You can read the whole thing Thanx again to BowieNetter rtychonick for permission to use the above shots, and to HNB for the officially confirmed 26-song set list:
