Angels in a ton of sound…
We first told you about EMI’s plans to release David Bowie’s Glass Spider film on DVD in July of last year. (07.18.2006 NEWS: EMI TO RELEASE GLASS SPIDER DVD)
Back then we reported that the DVD would be issued in the second quarter of 2007, and with a release date of June 25th it’s still on schedule.
The original running order remains the same essentially. But, there will now be a standard 22-track DVD, above left, and also the same DVD will be released with the added bonus of a double 25-track CD, above right.
Here’s the tracklisting for the DVD. All selections are 2007 digital remasters:
01 Intro/Up The Hill Backwards
02 Glass Spider
03 Day-In, Day-Out
04 Bang Bang
05 Absolute Beginners
06 Loving The Alien
07 China Girl
08 Rebel Rebel
09 Fashion
10 Never Let Me Down
11 “Heroes”
12 Sons Of The Silent Age
13 Band Introduction
14 Young Americans
15 The Jean Genie
16 Let’s Dance
17 Time
18 Fame
19 Blue Jean
20 I Wanna Be Your Dog
21 White Light/White Heat
22 Modern Love
The CD omits both I Wanna Be Your Dog and White Light/White Heat, which were encore tracks featuring guest guitarist Charlie Sexton. These two tracks are replaced by six others that don’t appear on the DVD: Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), All The Madmen, Big Brother, ’87 And Cry, Time Will Crawl and Beat Of Your Drum.
