2021's David Bowie box set 5 (Speculation Thread)*

Man, that was a rough 2 minutes to make it through.

 

That was brutal. It was my understanding that Dunkan vetoed the project a while back.

 

It does seem that the 40th Anniversary discs are finished (unless they mention delayed due to covid).
Quite a shame as although I can't see them bringing in massive amounts of money they did seem to have settled into some kind of rhythm where they stopped being some forced instant collectable (e.g.. RSD 500 copies worldwide and that kind of stunt).

Looking back I don't know why I expected them to complete the series, nothing gets completely finished.

 

They stopped the 50th anniversary single boxes with Space Oddity too.

 

Weirdly this started off with Starman ?

 

How about a box full of Gold Vinyl , a true treasure trove !

 

That was the 40th anniversary series, keep up.

 

That's more than a little ageist.

 

You're not my real mum.

 

Goffertpark - August 18 1990 was finally added to the memory map and I have uploaded a picture of my ticket.

Too bad the Sound + Vision tour is outside of the time frame for the Brilliant Live Adventures box. Apparently a lot of backing tracks were used on that tour so technically not everything was live, but guitarist Adrian Belew more than made up for it. He really was on fire in those days.

 

I clicked your link, but all I see is a Ticket stub - what am I missing? Perhaps an add-on is preventing me seeing the site?

 

If you are seeing the ticket you are not missing anything. That is all I added.
Other shows may have more memorabilia and perhaps stories. You can explore the full map here: David Bowie Memory Map

 

Backing tracks! I feel cheated, I know Fame 90 had one which was dreadful as was Belew tbh . And I was there twice ! And 4 at the front for the London Arena gig(s)

 

I keeps saying it - it was a poor tour, imo. Glass Spider was better, and that's really saying something.

 

You could be right , maybe I was looking through rose coloured spectacles at the time !
I thought that the Glass Spider was terrible, I must say I did enjoy Outside ( twice) and the last time I say him Reality ( 3 times) more like it !

 

I can see how it could have been dreadful for some people... Belew turning a Bowie concert into a King Crimson guitar fest.

 

Especially if Fripp was there, back to Belew , saw him for the Low/Heroes tour , he was better then, obviously followed Bowie’s instructions!

 

I thought we might have had some news on the 2nd live album in the series soon

 

Supposed to be the 6th.

 

I'm guessing tomorrow's announcement will be Something In The Air, given Ouvrez Le Chien was the first release and had already been released digitally

 

I think we all expect Something In The Air and Liveandwell.com to be in the box, that’s means there’s 3 question marks against the rest of the box. my preference is a surprise and one of those 3 unknowns to be revealed.

 

That’s my guess as well. Liveandwell will more than likely be in the next era box. I do wonder how the rest of the non-streaming shows will be decided. It’s my understanding that (at least) all the cd’s will be single discs, where most Bowie shows would need at least 2 discs, curious to see if it’s more edited shows or special shows with shorter set lists.

 

Yeah, I don't see Live and Well as part of these releases as it should fit inside next years box instead.

 

My prediction for the next release:

David Bowie Setlist at NEC Arena, Birmingham

 

Box set 5 could end up having more live albums than the other career spanning box sets so far (not including Brilliant Live Adventures).
