David Bowie transports Wembley to 1972 for Five Years.
A London boy, oh a London boy…
David Bowie played his first night at Wembley Arena last night to an uncharacteristically warm reception… for a London audience. There were even similar scenes to Dublin after Life On Mars?, and again David seemed genuinely moved.
“Ziggy Plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayed…. Guitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.”
The main set list was the same as the first night of Dublin, but Slip Away and Heathen were dropped from the encore. Anyway, here’s the 25-song setlist from last night:
Wembley November 25th 2003
01 Rebel Rebel
02 New Killer Star
03 Reality
04 Fame
05 Cactus
06 Afraid
07 All The Young Dudes
08 China Girl
09 The Loneliest Guy
10 The Man Who Sold The World
11 Hallo Spaceboy
12 Sunday
13 Under Pressure
14 Life On Mars?
15 Ashes To Ashes
16 The Motel
17 Loving The Alien
18 Never Get OId
19 Changes
20 I’m Afraid Of Americans
21 “Heroes”
(Encore)
22 Bring Me The Disco King
23 Five Years
24 Hang On To Yourself
25 Ziggy Stardust
Hopefully the Dublin pattern will continue for tonight’s second show, that would mean a much longer set, like the second Dublin show.
