Heres mine, (for now) in order of the show

3. Lady Grinning Soul
4. After All
5. Karma Man
6. Win

Criminal World
Dead Man Walking
Bleed like a Craze
The Wedding Song
Slip Away
Amlapura

Basically, the iSelect tracklist.

Let's say he was up for, say, a 30-song show. Split into two sets with a very brief intermission. What could he play and how would the setlists be (yet, because he can be cool like that , we can leave it open for him to call out a number at a moment's notice and incorporate that into it all.. Ahh, something cool for the likes of me to ponder then! Get back to ya shortly!

Hey, what's Baby Universal doing on your joke setlist? I would be interested to hear the Earthling era re-recording of Baby Universal.



'Ultimate Bowie setlist?' is the DFS SALE NOW ON! thread of BowieWonderWorld, it always pops up throughout the year.

<<Hey, what's Baby Universal doing on your joke setlist? I would be interested to hear the Earthling era re-recording of Baby Universal. >> well not as a joke but in contrast to the next track. Maybe to keep the consistancy I will take out Baby Universal for Too Dizzy... happy now?

He did play it live in mid 90's sometime.

Thanks, Son Of Silence, I'm as happy as a pig in 5hit now!

I have the video of him playing Baby Universal at Lorely '96.


Let me see if I can make a more ridiculous set list


New York's In Love
I Am With Name
Video Crimes
Shake It
Brilliant Adventure
Round And Round
Remembering Marie A
That's Motivation
Dancing With The Big Boys
Chilly Down
She Can Do That
Love You Till Tuesday
Neukoln
Try Some Buy Some

Encore
Please Mr Gravedigger
Heaven's In Here, extended version.

That'll get everyone whooping with delight.

My choice would include many stage favorites and a couple of suprise tracks. but as much as I love "Quicksand" I'd not want to hear it live again, because for me that song made the 1997 tour so special. I's also prefer not to hear "Under Pressure", Rebel Rebel" or "China Girl" live again.

02. Something In The Air
03. The Man Who Sold The World
04. Space Oddity
05. All The Madmen

Diamond Dogs twice? (Once would be more than enough for me)

At this stage, shouldn't he be openning with "Waiting for the Man"?

ah! but the second version could be a new 2009 version! and "waiting for the Man" would be a great opening song I agree!
