Milwaukee Pictures, Set List And Review


“I’m torn between the light and dark…” DB in Milwaukee

I gazed a gazely stare at all the Milwaukees here…

David Bowie played the 93rd show of his A Reality Tour at the Milwaukee Theatre in Milwaukee, WI, last night.

I’ve had no BowieNetter reviews as of yet, but there has been one online review by Dave Tianen from this morning’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, entitled: Entertainer Bowie wears status lightly – Songs have held up well, and, at 57, so has the singer, which you can read here.

Here’s, the officially-confirmed 25-song setlist courtesy ofHNB:

“Could I have the pleasure of the next dance, David?” Slicky turns on the charm
at the post-show backstage disco. Apparently, this is how DB and the band and
crew always unwind after a gig. You should see David do The Shag. You wish!

BowieNetter hunkydory88 did make a couple of brief observations on the MBs, primarily that after NKS David’s shoelace came untied for the first time on the tour… according to DB at least. hunkydory88 says there then followed a dramatic shoelace-tying ritual, as evidenced by one of Erik’s pictures in VT.

hunkydory88 also quoted David as saying this before the encore: “I couldn’t do three songs from Ziggy…so, I’ll do three songs from Ziggy!” He’s a one.

A Reality Tour continues tonight at the Murat Theatre in Indianapolis.
