And I, I could be King…
Riverside reports are coming thick and fast now, with reports in much of this morning’s press here in the UK. Here are a few excerpts from some of the pieces:
The Guardian – An encore featuring a breathtaking version of 1979’s Fantastic Voyage restores equilibrium. Bowie exits looking pleased, with good reason.

The Independent Review (Includes another Brian Rasic shot) – …the magnitude of the audience is impressive. After this, Bowie’s world tour almost seems like an unnecessary chore. (Blammo note: Shhhh. You’ll give him ideas!)

But in Reality – his latest album – The Thin White Duke proves that he’s still in sparkling form…On the whole Bowie looks great, sounds great and is more relaxed and confident than ever.
