Bowie In Cinematic First Five Years Ago Tonight

Looking For Satellites…

I know I probably always express incredulous disbelief at the amount of time passed for these types of anniversary, but does it really seem to you that David Bowie’s Reality performance at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith was already five years ago?

Many BowieNetters were either present at the show itself or at one of the various live cinema screenings around the globe for what was billed: THE WORLD’S FIRST LIVE AND INTERACTIVE MUSIC EVENT.

You can look back at the news items we posted at the time, the first of which includes another of LizSK2‘s enthusiastic reviews. (09.09.2003 NEWS: RIVERSIDE ROCKS AROUND THE WORLD & 09.10.2003 NEWS: RIVERSIDE REPORTS IN TODAY’S UK PRESS)
