This is our last dance… (For the time being)
The last show of the current run of David Bowie’s A Reality Tour was played in Uncasville, Connecticut, last night. I’ve not yet managed to find any reviews online, but apart from supplying the great shot above, BowieNetter, nancyh, sent me a couple of amusing observations from last night. Obviously I can’t vouch for the accuracy of them, but it’s an entertaining read either way:
The show was hysterical. A real mix of characters. Lots of drunken louts having fun, and lots of people there out of curiosity. David picked on a row of six middle-aged men in the fourth row, sitting down all talking on cell-phones during “Fame” by miming a cell phone conversation while singing the song.
After he ended with “What’s your name, what’s your name, what’s your name…” he again pointed them out and said to one of them: “Don’t bother telling me your name, just call me with it”. And he continued: “So you’re on the phone… what are you so busy talking about? Buy… sell…. sell… I love this place!” said with good humor.
We also found out that the road trucks got caught in the same traffic jam that I did, and arrived late with no time for sound check. However, the band was tight, and David commented to Gail about some new sybilance she added to a song, asking her did she dream it up on the bus while stuck in traffic.
Thanx for that, and the pictures Nancy. Here’s the 24-song setlist from last night:
