Won't you play your haunting theme again to me...
Uncasville got to witness A Reality Tour again last night when David returned to the Mohegan Sun Arena for another show. This sounds like it was another of those special evenings with a great audience that managed to get DB in the right mood for a very memorable night indeed.
The BowieNet presence down the front was apparent, not least of all when our very own Tess passed David a purple allium (see Erik's pic above) which DB apparently proceeded to perform some jolly suggestive things on, (the allium, not Tess, as far as I know at least) which I couldn't possibly begin to describe on a family website like this.
The request board in the picture above certainly seemed to do the trick for the lucky fan holding it aloft, when David changed the set just to accommodate the requested song. This could catch on you know.
Somebody who is not a stranger to request boards, BowieNetter nancyh, was at the show again last night, and here's a couple of lines from her MB posting:
What a treat, tonight. Another blessed event in the Bowie realm. Similar set list as last night, similar spectacular energy, banter and obvious enjoyment displayed by one Mr Bowie, and great crowd response. Bowienetters in full effect up at the front. Lots of storytelling tonight, and audience chat.
David asked who'd been to the same venue back in December when he'd played there, and there were lots of cheers. (December? Half the people cheering were in Manchester the night before!) David looked around at the crowd carefully and said... "I'm mysteriously attracted to you all".
We got the Bow-Wow, Woof-Woofs that were missing from Diamond Dogs in Manchester, and the audience became so frenzied and frothing at the muzzle that David felt the need to do the Diamond Dog howl not once, not twice, but three full satisfying times. Did you know there was a full moon last night? Coincidence? I think not.
"Been a fan for over 40 years. Bought Liza Jane when it came out!
First saw him at The Marquee in April '64... he hasn't changed a bit!"
Thanx a lot for that Nancy. Nancy also posted a bunch of pictures on the MBs, like the great shot below, which you can view Here's the officially-confirmed 25-song setlist courtesy of HNB:
