Come to the show tonight…
We’ve had a great response to this poll which we set back in April. (04.26.2008 NEWS: VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE BOWIE BOOTLEG)
Following on from His Master’s Voice (released officially as Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars (The Motion Picture Soundtrack) in 2003) and David Bowie, commonly known as Santa Monica, (due for official release as David Bowie – Live Santa Monica ’72 at the end of the month) and following the announcement that The Thin White Duke was next on the EMI schedule list, we asked what other bootlegs you would like to see get the official treatment.
As I stressed at the time, it doesn’t mean it will ever happen, it’s just good to know what you like.
I’ll post a more detailed breakdown of the voting in the near future, but meanwhile here’s the top five…
1st =
2nd =
3rd =
4th =
5th =
Strange Fascination was way out ahead and is clearly a firm favourite with you (rightly so) and even though 50 Dead Dogs managed 2nd place, it’s highly unlikely that a recording such as this would ever be officially released due to the licensing nightmare of all the other artists involved.
Hurling Disdain seemed to be the favourite record of the DB/NIN and 1995 Outside shows and despite saying that The Thin White Duke was going to be released in aforementioned news item anyway, that didn’t stop it getting enough votes to put it in fourth place.
Finally, The Bewlay Brothers At The Hammersmith was the popular and most excellent choice to represent the year 2002.
Well, it proves you have good taste, even if some of my personal favourites didn’t make the top five. Such as early shows on bootlegs like
