Ok, if, and its a big if I know! but if you could watch David sing live again and he was to sing only 3 songs, which would they be? And why?

Breaking Glass x

Really difficult question.......

Howsabout:

Everyone Says Hi - A wonderful and hugely underrated song.

Rebel Rebel - A song that has got better and better with age.

Memory of a Free Festival - A lovely early track with a great singalong at the end.

David

As His voice might be a little rusty,I'd go for the more talky type numbers.

Laughing Gnome.
Future Legend.
Five Years (though does get rather singy towards the end).

Love Five years....never thought about him being rusty - maybe sexy rusty though

Not a bad choice David

ESHi I like too

Breaking Glass x

Lady Grinning Soul - simply because it's one of the most beautiful songs he has ever recorded but yet never sang live

We are the Dead - again because DD is probably my fave album and I would love to hear this live


Win - it's so sexy and I love the whole Young American thing he had going on then

there's loads others but these prob represent what I have been listening to recently.

noel has the right idea (though lady grinning soul has never been a persoanl favourite)

we are the dead
five years


how about some outside...the motel


he'd still nail them and probably in new interesting ways.

as for the reason...they're all great songs and suit his voice.

I AM CESARE BORGIAS -- Huh!

Lady grinning Soul - NOW your talking YES!

Breaking Glass x

It's impossible to choose only 3 songs!

-------------
*Claude*
-------------

Absolute Beginners
Sweet Thing / Candidate / Sweet Thing (Reprise)
Lady Grinning Soul

Although the last time I saw him live I got these three:

Hallo Spaceboy
Moonage Daydream
Under Pressure

1. conversation piece
2. little wonder

encore

"Heroes"

----------------------------------------
what a beautiful thread, tell the others.

Im still trying to make my own mind up

1/ Lady Grinning Soul

2/ Station 2 Station

3/ I'll come back to ya....

Ok Claude you can have 4

*Claude*
-------------

1) Space oddity : as it introduces Major Tom.

2) Moonage daydream : as its such a fantastic song to sing along to.

3) Ashes to ashes : A goodbye to Major Tom. A nice way to end things on stage.
an end all things Bowie.

His way of saying goodbye to his fans for the last time. (Final Retirement).

it would be rock'n'roll suicidde David Live version as I know it's probably the last time I will hear him sing.

I hope deep in my heart he will sing live again but there's a big part of me telling me to get over it, sadly.

He ought to sing acoustic songs on webcam and upload them to the new look Bowienet.
Might even be worth joining for that.

1,R&R suicide
2,Alabama song (never seen it live,love it and i know lots of people hate it)
3,Teenage Wildlife (because its his finest moment live or otherwise imo)

"Heroes" - Never tire of it, soaring, uplifting and magnificent.
Slow Burn - Underrated, haunting and melancholic.
Baal's Hymn - Dark and brooding with a shot of black humour.

But this may change tomorrow . . .

AFTER ALL - LADY GRINNING SOUL - SONS OF THE SILENT AGE

what is is it with lady grinning soul and teenage wildlife?

i never listen to either of them. totally don't get the obsession.

----------------------------

I AM CESARE BORGIAS -- Huh!

Conversation Piece and Slow Burn would definitely be on my list, but for a third?... Maybe something poppy, like Scary Monsters or Blue Jean. Or maybe something he could present as a "better version of" like Glass Spider reworked.

i could probably make a whole set list of songs he's never performed live.
the dream would be the whole of the man who sold the world and lodger albums back to back.
noels choices are pretty hard to beat to be fair but if i was going for an alernative top 3 to that it may well be:

saviour machine
after all
move on.

i do quite fancy hearing when the wind blows blow and the buddha of suburbia as well.
like i said i could do a whole set list with ease.

Think you may be right but we live in hope

I wouldn't mind him doing a gig via Skype - he can even keep his slippers on

Breaking Glass x

1. The Secret Life Of Arabia
2. Kooks
3. Teenage Wildlife

Because I'd love to see David's new style and vocal performance of these songs would be like now. Actually, I'd love to hear the whole "Heroes", Scary Monsters, and Hunky Dory album's given the TOY treatment and re-recorded using Gail Ann Dorsey, Mark Plati, Sterling Campbell, Holly Palmer and bringing back KrisTeen Young and Carlos Alomar, with Tony Visconti producing.    

.... and of course, so Claude can have fun finding YouTube video's for them! 

Only 3???

Strangers When We Meet

Thru These Architect's Eyes

Station To Station

____________________________
"Humming Rheingold
We scavenge up our clothes"
____________________________

1. Sweetthing
2. Station to Station
3. Quicksand

Yes, it would be nice to hear if David put a new spin on his work, nice band choice but Slick for me

Think my No 3 choice would be ...The Man Who Sold The World....or wouldn't mind BB again!

Heard Bewlay Brothers at Hammersmith...A M A Z I N G! Beautiful, haunting in a way.

Breaking Glass x

Kingdom Come

Teenage Wildlife

It's No Game Pt1

Hmmmm....

I was going to stay away from this question because it's just to hard to decide.

But here is todays list.

All the Madmen
Rock and Roll Suicide
Bring Me The Disco King

Oh I donno'..... say

1. "In the Heat of The Morning"
2. "Panic in Detroit
3. "Seven"

But it's zilly really, to axk... I like
LOT-LOT - LOT of different
bowie songs. Did he even write the three
that I wrote down? Them sum good thongs, them !



nice !!

All the madmen - Superb choice!

Breaking Glass x

I would choose Scary Monsters as it has a rock sound to it and songs like that sound really good live. I would choose Five years as it has always been a favorite of mine and David Bowie really puts emotion into it. I have a David Bowie live DVD and this song is on there. I would also choose Under pressure as I think it would just really sound good live.

David I read that you like Every One Says Hi. I really like that song too.

I forgot about watch that man as we're talki.g rockers.great as the opening song

Totally impossible, of course, to pick three dozen, let alone three!

Anyhow, for today I'd go with three that as far I know have never been performed live:

Moss Garden.
Lady Grinning Soul.
Bleed Like a Craze, Dad.

Lady Grinning Soul
Right
Fantastic Voyage.

fall dog bombs the moon
the width of a circle
wild eyed boy from freecloud

edit: ah, the "paradox of choice". on second thought, i'd probably replace one of those with 'try some, buy some'.
