Kashmir Cover Bowie Live In Berlin

Someone passed some bliss among the crowd...

As many of you already know, Kashmir are currently touring Europe and BowieNetter j_lope was there to see them at Friday's show at the Postbahnhof in Berlin...from where she kindly supplied the shot above and a brief report.

As expected, the majority of the setlist came from No Balance Palance and Zitilites, including The Cynic from the former, the song the band recorded with David Bowie as guest vocalist.

But, according to j_lope, for the song before The Cynic, singer Kasper Eistrup announced: ?The next song is not from us?maybe you know who wrote it?? as the band proceeded to perform a touching keyboard-led version of Memory Of A Free Festival that evolved into a fully-blown-rock-out by the end of the familiar refrain "The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party".

I'll hand over to j_lope for the rest...

After Memory Of A Free Festival, Kasper asked the audience if they recognised the song and who wrote it. Funny what people were yelling. I think I heard The Beatles several times! Don?t know, if anybody said it right?too much chaos...So Kasper said the name: ?David Bowie!?

Afterwards they played The Cynic: ?It was impossible for him to come here...? Kasper said... (indeed *sigh*) - and so bass player Mads Tunebjerg** sang the Bowie part.

**j_lope footnote: Seems I was wrong with the Bowie-part...*cough*...the bass player just sang the background voices...and the special Bowie-verse was sung by Kasper!
