You came to play live in our town...
It is with much pleasure that I can tell you about the EMI reissues of both the out-of-print Bowie live albums, David Live and Stage. Both are scheduled for a February 21st 2005 release and will be available on two formats; double CD and DVDA.
Each of the albums has brand new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes by Tony Visconti and include extensive sleeve notes by both Tony himself and chronologies by my childhood sweetheart, Kevin Cann.
At the moment it looks like the DVDAs may also include the original mixes of the vinyl versions of the albums, but the most exciting thing about both releases for many fans will be the extra tracks and the return to the original running order of the shows.

Over the coming weeks I'll be posting an exclusive interview with Tony Visconti regarding both albums along with some of the pictures and details from the beautiful new packaging.
We'll also be running an exciting competition nearer the release date, where a handful of BowieNetters will get to attend an exclusive David Live listening party in 5.1 at the legendary Abbey Road studios in London.
