NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
llowry12 this live performance film from the Serious Moonlight tour is Bowie at his finest...no gimmicks...the music stands on it's own...Bowie and his band are flawless...an outstanding collection of all his greatest songs...have watched this concert over and over and it never gets tired...the performance is very energetic and fresh...the stage costumes are spot on for the time...(mid 80's)...featuring one of the best recordings of Young American ever recorded...Modern Love..Fashion...Heros..Look Back in Anger...this film is an excellent archive of Bowies talent and enduring style...also note the title related surprise during the closing number of the concert...
HPics If you're in the mood to see David Bowie (circa early eighties) make a complete ass of himself, looking unbelievably smarmy in leisure suit and a bleached blonde blowdry, with hilariously awful stage production and video toaster-like special effects, this is the film for you.
Erich Young (erichyoung) I have always enjoyed Bowie's music, and am old enough to remember when most of the 18 songs on this video came out. So what. So I can say that what has always intrigued me about Bowie, besides his ever-changing tastes, is his choice of musicians. He chooses who he likes to play with.His choice of musicians on this tour make me cringe. Sorely missing is his old mate, the dearly departed Mick Ronson, meister of the tasty guitar licks on most 70's Bowie. With him here are some dudes who sound influenced by the Flock of Seagulls. And worst of all is the drummer, Tony Thompson. This guy was in vogue in the 80's with most british pop singers. And what does he bring? Constant over-playing and a never ending collect of fills which he always rushes and ends prematurely on 4.I was bored with this set severly, which is odd to say given Bowie's efforts of putting on a theatrical performance.
pwykes There are some great Bowie songs on this video but everything is far too slick. This was filmed at a time when Bowie was cashing in on his hit album and playing all his hits in a sanitized manner. Rent the Ziggy Stardust movie instead.
