The D.A.M. Trio was David Bowie’s band from 1975 to 1980. The 2024 David Bowie World Fan Convention in Liverpool saw the return of its surviving members, Carlos Alomar and George Murray. At the event, Alomar and Murray were interviewed extensively about their times with Bowie, and they played live on stage together for the first time in 45 years. Filmmaker Nacho was part of the curation team for the Bowie convention event, and he provided much of the archive material that was shown. Additionally, he was tasked with hosting the three panel discussions with Carlos Alomar and George Murray, that centred on the D.A.M. Trio Bowie era. This film produced by Nacho, pieces together some of the the D.A.M. Trio highlights from the event, including elements of the three panels, a live performance and some rare and previously unreleased David Bowie archive material from the era. As a filmmaker specialising in archive music related topics, Nacho saw the material that was amassed from the convention, as a way to create a defacto D.A.M. Trio documentary, that places the historic importance of David Bowie’s ’75 – ’80 band in its proper context. And tho’ much has been written about the importance of this era of Bowie’s music, and even the band behind the sound, this is the first documentary film dedicated to the topic. Thanks for watching, I hope you dig it! • The D.A.M. Trio were David Bowie's rhythm section for six years, from 1975 to 1980. Bowie chose three black American R n’B musicians - Dennis Davis on drums, George Murray on Bass and Carlos Alomar on guitar, and as arranger and band leader - to help him create some of the most revered, original and yet most popular music of his career. The five groundbreaking studio albums that Bowie produced during the ’75 – ‘80 period moved through stylistic transformations, and yet the band behind him remained a constant. The D.A.M. Trio were vital in the creation of the albums: Station to Station (1976) Live Nassau Coliseum '76 Low (1977) "Heroes" (1977) Stage (1978) Welcome to the Blackout (Live London '78) Lodger (1979) Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) (1980) And additionally the David Bowie produced Iggy Pop album: The Idiot (1977) The D.A.M. Trio helped create the hit songs: Golden Years Sound and Vision “Heroes” Boys Keep Swinging Ashes to Ashes Fashion During their years with Bowie, The D.A.M. Trio played on his two extensive world tours; Isolar I AKA the Station to Station tour in 1976, and Isolar II AKA the Low / “Heroes” tour in 1978. The final D.A.M. Trio live performance with David Bowie was on Saturday Night Live in late 1979. In November 2024, Rolling Stone voted the appearance as the greatest Saturday Night Live Musical Performance of all-time. • Special thanks to Bernd Pick, who miraculously dragged 60kg of gear from Germany, especially to shoot and record the event.

This is a recently discovered unbroadcast and previously unseen, high-quality recording of Bowie and his ‘78 band live on German TV, mid-way through the Isolar II World Tour. • David Bowie’s Isolar II 1978 World Tour, also known as The Low / “Heroes” World Tour or The Stage Tour, opened on the 29th of March, 1978 at the San Diego Sports Arena. The tour continued through North America, Europe and Australia and New Zealand before reaching a conclusion at the NHK Hall in Tokyo, on the 12th of December, 1978. Eighty dates were played, with a total attendance of almost 1.2 million people. The majority of the material featured in the first half of the show was from the recent Low and “Heroes” albums. What In The World was originally a track from Low. The original version is a short, brittle and abrasive avant-pop track, just a little over 2 minutes long. However, for the ‘78 tour, the song was quite radically rearranged. It was doubled in length, essentially split into two differing sections, transforming the song into something hugely enjoyable. For me, it is one of the highlights of the ‘78 set. Musically, the first half was unrecognisable from the original, having been transformed into a slower, funky reggae-tinged groover. Then after a quick drum break, the beats are doubled and the band belt out something closer to the original. The entire lyric of the Low original is sung in full in both sections. And Bowie’s vocal is a joy - he’s ditched the cold severity of the studio version and sings with emotion and a more developed melody. Carlos Alomar was the rhythm guitarist and musical director for the tour. Dennis Davis was on drums and George Murray on bass, collectively The D.A.M. Trio. It is hard to overstate the importance of the D.A.M. Trio on Bowie’s output from 1975 to 1980. After Dennis Davis death in 2016, Carlos wrote an article about his friend Dennis and the D.A.M. Trio, “The uniqueness of the D.A.M. Trio was that Bowie allowed us to work the arrangements with just the Trio. Everyone else would over-dub. To that end, the sky was the limit…no idea was out of bounds.” https://carlosalomar.wordpress.com/2016/04/25/the-making-of-david-bowies-d-a-m-trio/ In the comments section of Chris O’Leary’s What In The World article on his “Pushing Ahead of the Dame” blog, “Ian” comments, “I think the Alomar/Davis/Murray trinity was a great foil. It sort of seems like DB comes to town with some chord progressions, a melody or two, and little more than a shell, and Alomar and the dudes take those and make either a really solid Jam that Bowie can do whatever he wants over, or they make a more put-together song. What I mean to say is, I love giving Alomar as much credit as people give Ronson.” https://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/2011/02/07/what-in-the-world/ Shortly after Dennis Davis death, his extraordinary young son, Hikaru Davis, started a beautiful initiative: Tracing My Dad – The Life and Music of Dennis Davis - a video tribute series to his late father, whereby Hikaru interviews the musicians that knew and worked with Dennis Davis. In Volume 3, Hikaru interviews Carlos Alomar: Hikaru: If you could play one song… with Dennis… what would it be? Carlos: What In The World… a simple song, but the music was so cool, I love playing that kind of stuff. https://youtu.be/nY0JBiRBLH4?si=OPi83FyzZWJxSStX • Der Musikladen (The Music Shop) was a West German music TV show, that ran from 1972 to 1984. In addition to the regular Musikladen show, individual artists / bands were presented in Musikladen Extra. • One of my great archive discoveries this year, is the two previously unbroadcast tracks from the ‘78 Bowie Musikladen Extra TV show in great quality.

A new sound and vision restoration of the classic Bowie SNL performance, that was recorded on this day, 45 years ago, the 15th of December 1979. • In November 2024, Rolling Stone voted the David Bowie SNL appearance the ‘Greatest Saturday Night Live musical performance of all-time’. The idea for the appearance began in late '79 as a proposed end- -of-the-decade New Years Eve concert, to be choreographed by Toni Basil, who had done the choreography for David Bowie's Diamond Dogs Tour in 1974. Adapted from Roger Griffin’s book / website Bowie Golden Years: In early December Bowie had returned to New York and took up residence in a Chelsea loft next door to his guitarist and arranger, Carlos Alomar. Out one night at NYC’s Mudd Club with Blondie’s Jimmy Destri, they spotted German singer/performer Klaus Nomi and Warhol scenester/Fiorucci store attendant Joey Arias. Bowie called them over to his table and introduced himself. They exchanged phone numbers, and met at Bowie’s loft a few days later to discuss ideas for the New Year’s Eve concert. When the concert proved unfeasible they adapted the ideas for Bowie’s appearance on Saturday Night Live. Bowie devised three set pieces based on Tristan Tzara’s Cabaret Voltaire skits and John Heartfield’s photomontages with help from SNL set designer Mark Ravitz, who had worked on the Diamond Dogs set in 1974. Bowie’s costume, a solid moulded plastic body painted in Thirties evening dress with a large bow tie, was made by SNL’s theatrical suppliers Brooks Van Horn. Meanwhile, in a RCA rehearsal studio, Nomi and Arias watched Bowie rehearse the songs with his band. The show was taped a few days later on the 15th of December at NBC Studios, Rockefeller Plaza, New York. For the Man Who Sold the World, Nomi and Arias carried Bowie, encased in his solid body costume to the front of the stage. For TVC 15, Bowie wore a blue dress designed by Natasha Kornilof (who had designed his outfits for the 1978 Isolar II tour). For Boys Keep Swinging Bowie wore a green costume and attached a small puppet's torso and limbs. With the aid of chroma key and green screen, Bowie became a marionette with a huge human head. • Tho’ much has been written about the wild and imaginative costuming of Bowie’s SNL appearance, what is seemingly forgotten is that it was to be the final live show of Bowie and his D.A.M. Trio band. The D.A.M. Trio was Bowie’s permanent rhythm section from 1975 to 1980. They were three black American R n’B musicians - Dennis Davis on drums, George Murray on Bass and Carlos Alomar on guitar and as arranger and band leader. The D.A.M. Trio helped Bowie create some of the most revered, original and yet most popular music of his career. The groundbreaking studio albums that Bowie produced during the ’75 – ‘80 period moved through stylistic transformations, and yet the band behind him remained a constant. The D.A.M. Trio were vital in the creation of the albums: Station to Station (1976) Live Nassau Coliseum '76 (released 2010) Low (1977) The David Bowie produced Iggy Pop album: The Idiot (1977) "Heroes" (1977) Stage (1978) Welcome to the Blackout (Live London '78) (released 2018) Lodger (1979) Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) (1980) For the SNL show, The D.A.M. Trio were augmented by Blondie’s Jimmy Destri on keyboards and Canadian guitarist, Stacy Heydon, who had been lead guitarist on Bowie's Isolar I Station to Station tour three years earlier. In late ’79, Bowie had not worked with the D.A.M. Trio since the Isolar II tour, which had ended the previous December. Reuniting with them for the SNL show would be a precursor for the imminent recording sessions for his next album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) that would commence in February 1980 at the Power Station in New York. • Thanks for watching, I hope you dig it! • Credits Audio and video: David Bowie The Man Who Sold The World | TVC 15 | Boys Keep Swinging | Live on Saturday Night Live | 15th December 1979 | NBC Studios | 30 Rockefeller Plaza | New York, NY | Produced by Lorne Michaels | Directed by Dave Wilson | Presented by Martin Sheen | Broadcast 5th January 1980 | Copyright owned by NBC Universal David Bowie | Vocals Dennis Davis I Drums Carlos Alomar I Rhythm guitar George Murray I Bass Stacy Heydon I Lead guitar Jimmy Destri I Keyboards Klaus Nomi | Backing vocals Joey Arias| Backing vocals • Always more videos to follow, so please keep your electric eye on me babe!

This video is a new audio remix and video remaster of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions live in concert performing Forest Fire, a track from their debut album, Rattlesnakes, which was released 40 years ago this month, October 1984. • It’s just a simple metaphor, For a burning love. Lloyd Cole has described "Forest Fire" as "a straight love song" and told Record Mirror in 1984, "It's about as straight as I can get. I still can't resist telling jokes in the song at the same time as I'm being relatively serious." He added to Melody Maker, "It's very difficult for me to do things straight. 'Forest Fire' is obviously just a simple metaphor, so that's my little joke, but the song is actually quite serious and I don't write many serious songs." Forest Fire is one of my favourite songs from 1984. It was originally released as a single in August that year; a few months before the album came out. In hindsight, Forest Fire seems an unusual choice for a single; it had no real chorus and moreover, the last third of the track was a dramatic guitar solo, played by Commotions guitarist Neil Clark. Reviews at the time singled out the guitar solo for praise: Jerry Smith of Music Week, “…builds with some atmospheric backing into a languid, echoing guitar solo". Robert Hodgens of The Bluebells, as guest reviewer for Smash Hits stated that the highlight of Forest Fire was the "great guitar break at the end". Adrian Thrills of NME picked "Forest Fire" as the magazine's single of the week, writing, “… this mini-epic swells and groans as the countrified funk guitar metamorphoses into giant slabs of metallic chaos by the closing bars." Neil Clark told The Guardian in 2019, "I came up with this epic solo, and Paul [Hardiman, Rattlesnakes producer] and I stayed up all night recording it. At 2am, with everything turned up, it sounded incredible. But the next day, I thought we'd gone over the top and wanted to take some of it off. Paul said, 'No, play it to everyone as it is' and everyone agreed it was incredible, so we left it." Back in the day, I particularly liked a BBC recording of Forest Fire live at the Hammersmith Palais December 1984, which I heard on a freebie NME cover mount 7” EP [that also featured The Style Council and other acts]. On this live version I really loved the crisp sound of the drums, and especially a definitive performance of Neil Clark’s guitar break. • Since the dawn of YouTube, I’ve been wishing for a video of a decent live version of Forest Fire from the era. But alas, all that I have ever seen is a fairly unwatchable poor quality version from the Channel 4 music show, The Tube, and the unsatisfying February 1985 Rockpalast performance. The Rockpalest version is nicely shot, and the performance is good, but the production and mix are not good at all. Neil Clark’s all important guitar break is almost inaudible, almost completely obscured by Lloyd Cole’s rhythm guitar being way too loud in the mix. The producer Particledots reverse engineered both the Hamburg and the December ‘84 Hammersmith audios, giving me pretty clean individual tracks to play with. I combined the two sources, carefully syncing and matching them. What we end up with is a mix of the two sources, featuring an enhanced vocal from the Hamburg show, keyboards edited together from both shows, drums and bass mostly from Hammersmith, and guitars from the Hammersmith show only. Don't it make you smile, Like a forest fire? • Credits Video Source: Markthalle | Hamburg, Germany | 28 February 1985 | Rockpalast | WDR TV Audio Source: Markthalle | Hamburg, Germany | 28 February 1985 | Rockpalast | WDR TV Hammersmith Palais | London | 13 December 1984 | BBC In Concert | Live At The BBC Vol 1 | ℗ 2007 BBC Music Musicians: Lloyd Cole | vocals Neil Clark | guitar Blair Cowan | keyboards Lawrence Donegan | bass Stephen Irvine | drums • Always more videos to follow, so please keep your electric eye on me babe!

This video is a new edit of archive footage of New Order, recut and synced to “Everything’s Gone Green”, which was originally released late September 1981. • The future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed - William Gibson In early 1981 New Order released their magnificent debut single, Ceremony. Ceremony, and its B-side In a Lonely Place, were re-recorded versions of songs written and recorded as Joy Division just prior to the death of the band’s singer Ian Curtis. The sound of that first single was very Joy Divisionesque, with guitarist Bernard Sumner doing a fine job of sounding Ian Curtisesque. My video for Ceremony: https://youtu.be/VXLTVvuAfso If New Order’s first single was a blast from the immediate past, their second one was a blueprint for the future. A-side Procession was upbeat melodic guitar and synth alternative pop and on the flip Everything’s Gone Green was the first of New Order’s more disco-orientated sequencer-driven tunes. Both songs were precursors to much that followed in the Eighties by New Order and indeed by many other artists. Back then, they certainly sounded like the future to my young ears. Subsequent generations of new artists are still sounding like early New Order to me. My video for Procession : https://youtu.be/T4Gjycc5ejc?si=lswZCeCigWe_76mL Stephen Morris: "The song's title arrived spontaneously as we were programming the rhythm track at Pinky's. After a few hours of button stabbing, synth-chattering and drum bashing, I sat down on a rickety chair, rolled a joint and inhaled deeply. The weak sunlight was reflected off the glazing of the swimming baths opposite and diffused through the grease-smeared window of our room. Momentarily, the light seemed to me to take on a crystalline glow, giving the room an aquamarine haze. 'Everything's gone Green,' I observed. 'That's good, let's call it that then,' said Bernard, who hadn't noticed my Condor moment." • Recording details of Everything’s Gone Green are not certain. However, it’s likely that it was recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport, part of the intermittent 7-months of recording sessions that formed the debut album Movement. Wiki: The producer (of the sessions) was once again Martin Hannett, who had worked with them as Joy Division; however, the rapport between producer and band had in the ensuing time eroded. Hannett was in a legal dispute with Factory Records and suffering from substance and alcohol abuse, and the band members—themselves still coming to terms with having to write and arrange songs without Curtis's ear and lyric-writing ability—found him uncooperative. It would be the last time they worked together. The band were unhappy with Hannett’s production of the album. However, it seems to me that both Procession and Everything’s Gone Green benefit hugely from Hannett’s production – including his trademark crisp snare sound and mastery of subtle electronic atmospheres. Bernard Sumner remarked retrospectively that "Martin's last track was 'Everything's Gone Green' – fact he walked out halfway through the mix because Hooky and me asked him to turn the drums up." • New Order didn’t make many promo videos in the Eighties, and none at all until the 1983 video for Confusion [in which the band barely appeared]. Three years ago, the official New Order YouTube channel uploaded the Everything’s Gone Green Live New York City 1981 video. The footage is so, err… GREEN, I said to myself, I wonder if that could be fashioned into a video for the studio version? After 3 years of dabbling, here’s my video for Everything’s Gone Green. I hope you dig it! • Credits Video Source: New Order | Live at the Ukraine Ballroom | NYC | 19 November 1981 Original: https://youtu.be/A_ggZTMi0Bs?si=cZTmCTJK2Jt5yuBA Audio Source: New Order | Everything’s Gone Green | Recorded in 1981 | Originally released 25th September 1981 | FAC53 Musicians: Bernard Sumner | Vocals, guitar Peter Hook | Bass Stephen Morris | Drums Gillian Gilbert | Keyboards Martin Hannett | Production © Universal Music Publishing Group • Always more videos to follow, so please keep your electric eye on me babe!

This is a new restoration of a Spanish TV broadcast of Television frontman, Tom Verlaine, performing Kingdom Come, a song that famously David Bowie covered on his Scary Monsters album. This live version of Kingdom Come was recorded 40 years ago on this day, the 25th of September 1980. • It goes without saying that Marquee Moon, the 1977 debut album by Television is one of the greatest records of all time. Television produced another album, Adventure, the following year, and then the band broke up. Kingdom Come was originally a track from the 1979 eponymously named debut solo album by Television guitarist/vocalist Tom Verlaine. The album was ranked at number 15 among the top "Albums of the Year" for 1979 by NME. David Bowie covered "Kingdom Come" the following year on Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) at the suggestion of his guitar player and arranger, Carlos Alomar. Tom Verlaine was originally set to play lead guitar on Bowie's cover version, and Verlaine came to New York's Power Station recording studio for a session. However, according to legend he spent most of the time trying out multiple guitar amps seeking the "right" sound. Eventually a part was recorded, but Bowie was unhappy with it and instead used King Crimson guitarist, Robert Fripp. Verlaine’s fourth album, Cover was released in September 1984. To promote the album, there was a short UK / European tour in late September and early October. The La Edad de Oro show in Madrid was the 3rd date of the tour. Verlaine’s band for the tour were two long-term collaborators - on bass his former Television band-mate Fred Smith, and on drums Jay Dee Daugherty, from the Patti Smith Group. On rhythm guitar was Jimmy Ripp, who had been playing with Verlaine since the previous album, 1982’s Words from the Front. These three would remain staples in Verlaine’s band throughout his career. In 2007 Rip would replace original guitarist Richard Lloyd in the reformed Television. • Sadly, there is very little video material in circulation of 70's Television or early solo Tom Verlaine. It was a revelation to me to find this live performance of a favourite Verlaine song. Here's my optimised version. Thanks for watching, I hope you dig it! • More... much more on Bowie and Kingdom Come, via this blog post from Adam Steiner, author of the definitive book on Bowie’s year of fear 1980 and the Scary Monsters album, "Silhouettes And Shadows": https://adamsteiner.uk/2023/01/31/kingdom-come-david-bowie-does-television/ • Credits Video and Audio Source: Tom Verlaine | Kingdom Come | Live on La Edad de Oro | Madrid | 25 September 1984 | Televisión Española (TVE) | Series directed by Paloma Chamorro Originally a track from the album Tom Verlaine | Released 1979 | Elektra Records Musicians: Tom Verlaine | vocals | guitar Jay Dee Daugherty | drums Fred Smith | bass | backing vocals Jimmy Rip | guitar | backing vocals • Always more videos to follow, so please keep your electric eye on me babe!

This is a new edit and restoration of David Bowie performing Space Oddity live on his Diamond Dogs tour, fifty years ago; September 1974. The footage is sourced from a 2024 restored version of Alan Yentob’s 1975 BBC film, Cracked Actor. The audio, from the same show, is sourced from the David Bowie live album, Cracked Actor. • David Bowie’s Diamond Dogs tour commenced in June 1974. It utilized a rock opera-style stage show format with multiple sets, costume changes, and choreography. The stage set for the tour, “Hunger City” was designed by Mark Ravitz. It included a variety of props, such as streetlamps, chairs and catwalks. Bowie performed Space Oddity on the Diamond Dogs tour, elevated above the audience, in a chair mounted on the moving hydraulic arm of a cherry picker. Bowie in his cherry picker seat, would emerge from a pair of doors atop one of the “Hunger City” towers [the one with the phallus]. He would extend out over the first six rows of the audience to sing Space Oddity. As the song came to an end, the chair would return to its position and the final note would see Bowie feign death with his head slumped, before the stage was plunged into darkness. • The material in this video is from the 12-date second leg of the Diamond Dogs tour, which commenced with 7 dates at the Universal Amphitheatre, in Los Angeles and finished at the Anaheim Convention Centre in California, from the 2nd to the 16th of September. The band was considerable changed from the first leg of the tour. Michael Kamen, who was musical director and keyboard player on the initial leg was out. Doug Rauch and Greg Errico replaced Herbie Flowers and Tony Newman, on bass and drums respectively. Also, significantly, guitarist Carlos Alomar joined Bowie’s band for the first time. And, the original duo of backing singers Gui Andrisano and Warren Peace, was much expanded to seven persons, including Luther Vandross. BBC filmmaker Alan Yentob and his team were at the September shows to document them and Bowie’s precarious state of mind. Yentob fashioned the resulting material into one of the most widely celebrated music documentaries of all time, Cracked Actor. It was first shown on BBC1 on the 26th of January 1975. In 2013, Alan Yentob said of the film: "I'd caught him at what was an intensely creative time, but it was also physically and emotionally gruelling. Our encounters tended to take place in hotel rooms in the early hours of the morning or in snatched conversations in the back of limousines”. The concert footage was shot at the Universal Ampitheater, Los Angeles, on September the 5th, 1974. The fan footage is likely from the Tuscon Convention Center show, 13th of September. Space Oddity is the only complete song in Cracked Actor. However, the live footage was overdubbed with the original 1969 version of the song. Here on my video, I’ve replaced the audio with the original live recording from the 5th of September show When recutting, the long dissolves and double exposure “flying” scenes created continuity issues. To circumvent that, some scenes are swapped around, and other moments from Cracked Actor are added - mostly enthusiastic and spaced-out, young audience members, gazing up adoringly at our somewhat lost / aloof / perhaps bored Major Tom. • The source for my Cracked Actor restoration project is a pre-broadcast master source, that retains the original 4:3 ratio. I have restored the film, scene by scene, and edited in an all-new music soundtrack, using the latest remastered version of every song featured in the film. From the restoration, here is the Space Oddity scene, re-synced for the first time to the original live performance.

Interpol’s debut album, Turn On the Bright Lights, was released on this day, the 19th of August 2002. The album has been seen as helping define 2000s indie rock, and Interpol have been cited as helping usher in the New York-born post-punk revival scene, along with contemporaries such as the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and TV on the Radio. This video synchs live footage of the band performing in 2002, to the album opening track, Untitled.

On this day, the 30 June 1978, David Bowie played the 2nd of 3 shows at London's Earls Court. That show and the one on the following night, were filmed for an intended concert movie. This is a short documentary about those shows, which also attempts to answer the question: “Whatever happened to the STAGE movie?” This film combines live footage from the Earls Court shows and others from the ‘78 tour, plus material from TV and radio shows, with music from the Welcome to the Blackout album and other sources. • The David Bowie Isolar II 1978 World Tour, also known as The Low / Heroes World Tour or The Stage Tour, hit London in summer 1978. Three nights were played at the Earls Court Arena, 29 & 30 June & the 1 July. The never-completed and never-shown David Bowie-produced, David Hemmings-directed STAGE movie, was shot at two of the Earls Court shows. The forty+ years old undigitised reels for which were, until recently gathering dust at the Bowie archive. The STAGE movie is perhaps the ultimate lost treasure of the Bowie cannon. For decades it’s been the subject of much speculation among fans, who are desperate to see it. • When I started this project in 2016, I wanted to make use of the various bits of Earls Court footage and other sources from the ‘78 UK tour. I soon became hungry for information about the mythical STAGE movie, shot at the Earl’s Court shows. David Bowie had of course passed away in 2016 and David Hemmings in 2007. So how could definitive information be found? Bowie ‘78 collector Mike Jewell suggested contacting Rory MacLean, Hemings assistant during that era. I contacted Rory, who is now a celebrated author. He was very forthcoming, providing me with an abundance of information. He knew intimately the story of the film and the original hopes and intentions for it, and the reason why it was not released. A year or so later we met up and became fast friends. Eventually Rory and I decided to approach the Bowie Estate with an offer to remake the STAGE movie from scratch, the way Bowie had originally intended it. We sent the Estate a comprehensive thoroughly researched 3,000 word proposal. But unfortunately no response was received. I went back to my own humble Earls Court project. I decided to incorporate into it something of the events that led to the films production and eventual abandonment. Still, with so little footage available, and uneven audio sources, I was unable to complete it. When Welcome to the Blackout, an official live album recorded at the Earls Court shows was released in 2018, more possibilities presented themselves. But there was still a deficit of visual material and the results were unsatisfactory. Despite that, in 2022 I produced a semi-finished 20-minute rough-cut “Part 1”, and premiered it at the David Bowie World Fan Convention, in Liverpool. Shortly after that, actual footage shot by the Hemmings crew, intended for the STAGE movie, surfaced in Brett Morgen’s film Moonage Daydream. Utilising some of that footage, I swapped out some scenes in my “Part 1” that had formerly used poor sources. • It is strongly rumoured, almost a certainty as far as I’m concerned, that Brett Morgen is creating a new concert movie from the STAGE film footage. Assuming that concert film does indeed surface, my little documentary will become rather superfluous. So I feel some impatience to get it out. In 2023, I showed the present version at the David Bowie World Fan Convention, in NYC. And now, finally it’s online.

Bowie and the Spiders groundbreaking, life changing performance of Starman on Top of the Pops happened on this day, the 6th of July 1972. Here’s a new remaster of the broadcast, synched to a matrix of the two audios featured on the new David Bowie box set, Rock ‘n’ Roll Star! • From Wiki: Bowie, the Spiders and keyboardist Nicky Graham, performed "Starman" on Top of the Pops on 5 July 1972. Bowie appeared in a brightly coloured rainbow jumpsuit, "shocking" red hair and astronaut boots while the Spiders wore blue, pink, scarlet and gold velvet attire. During the performance, Bowie was relaxed and confident and wrapped his arm around Ronson's shoulder. Transmitted the following day on 6 July, the performance brought public attention to the album and helped solidify Bowie as a controversial pop icon. David Buckley writes: "Many fans date their conversion to all things Bowie to this Top of the Pops appearance." The performance was a defining moment for many British children. U2 singer Bono said in 2010, "The first time I saw [Bowie] was singing 'Starman' on television. It was like a creature falling from the sky. Americans put a man on the moon. We had our own British guy from space – with an Irish mother." After the performance, "Starman" charted at number 10 in the UK while peaking at number 65 in the US. • Rock 'n' Roll Star! is a 5CD/1 Blu-Ray audio set exploring David Bowie's journey from February 1971 through the creation of the Ziggy Stardust character, the recording of the iconic 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars' album, and captures the international mania that surrounded the Ziggy phenomenon in the form of UK radio sessions and TV performances, as well as live tracks from Ziggy and the Spiders’ 1st October 1972 show at the Boston Music Hall.

It is 50 years today, since Bowie’s 5th of September 1974 concert at the Universal Amphitheatre. Here is an excerpt of his performance of “Time”, from that that show, sourced from a newly restored version of Alan Yentob’s 1975 BBC film, Cracked Actor. • David bowie’s 1974 Diamond Dogs tour commenced in June 1974. It utilized a rock opera-style stage show format with multiple sets, costume changes, and choreography. The set for the tour, “Hunger City” was designed by Mark Ravitz. It included a variety of props, such as streetlamps, chairs and catwalks. For the song "Big Brother", Bowie sang while atop a multi-mirrored glass "asylum", emerging from inside it for the next song, "Time", sitting in the palm of a giant hand covered in light bulbs. The material in this video hails from the second leg of the Diamond Dogs tour, which started with 7 dates at the Universal Amphitheatre, in Los Angeles 2 – 8 of September. BBC filmmaker Alan Yentob and his team were there to document the September shows and Bowie’s precarious state of mind. Yentob fashioned the resulting material into one of the most widely celebrated music documentaries of all time, Cracked Actor, which was first shown on BBC1 on the 26th of January 1975. In 2013, Alan Yentob said of the film: "I'd caught him at what was an intensely creative time, but it was also physically and emotionally gruelling. Our encounters tended to take place in hotel rooms in the early hours of the morning or in snatched conversations in the back of limousines”. Alan Yentob went on to hold senior roles at the BBC including head of music and arts, controller of BBC1 and controller of BBC2. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2024 Birthday Honours for services to the arts and media. • At the David Bowie World Fan Convention in July this year, I co-hosted, “Hollywood High - Alan Yentob's Cracked Actor” – a two-hour deep dive into the documentary with Alan Yentob himself. My fellow host was noted artist, author and fellow 70's Bowie fanatic Mark Wardel. Mark and I interviewed Alan extensively about his film, alternating the talk with clips from my newly restored HD version of the film. My experience of the panel was quite dominated by concerns with some of the technical challenges. That evening, I was invited to join Alan Yentob and the team for dinner, but unfortunately, I still had a lot of material to prepare for the weekend, so I went back to my room to work. The next day, Alan Horne described that dinner as one of the best experiences of his life. Ho hum. • I have been asked many times about my Cracked Actor restoration project. The source is not the BBC Cracked Actor broadcasts, which since 2013 have been from a version that has the frame ratio cut down into pseudo-widescreen. I have worked from an alternate pre-broadcast master source, that retains the original 4:3 ratio that Cracked Actor was made in. Basically, I have restored the film, scene by scene, and edited in an all-new music soundtrack, using the latest remastered version of every song featured in the film. Here is a slightly re-edited clip from my restoration of Cracked Actor.

This is a new video and audio restoration, edit, matrix and remix of Magazine performing The Light Pours Out Of Me in 1980, live on the Correct Use of Soap tour, their final shows until the reformation in the 2000’s. • Magazine are considered one of the best Post-Punk bands, and surely The Light Pours Out Of Me is one of their finest songs and indeed one of the greatest of the era. The Light Pours Out Of Me was one of two songs that Howard Devoto co-wrote with Pete Shelley [the other was Shot By Both Sides] and took with him when he left the Buzzcocks. The song also shares a third co-writing credit with Magazine genius guitarist, John McGeogh; presumably for providing the brilliant riff that underpins the song and the two ecstatic lead breaks, in it's latter section. Magazine recorded the Correct Use of Soap album with McGeogh, but he left the band by the time of tour. Purportedly, he was tired of Magazine's low sales and their less guitar-oriented material. He immediately joined Siouxsie and the Banshees, for the recording of their Kaleidoscope album, and subsequent tours and albums. To replace McGeogh on the tour, the band hired Robin Simon, who had been in Ultravox and Neo. That line-up toured the UK, Europe and Australia, recording the live album Play. Play consisted of a recording of the group's performance at Melbourne Festival Hall in Australia on 6 September 1980; part of the audio matrix we hear in this video. The final show of the Correct Use of Soap tour, and therefore Magazines last show from their heyday, was at the Metropol, Berlin on the 30th of October 1980; the footage of which we see in this video. • So this video combines the two aforementioned shows - Melbourne and Berlin. The footage is from the Berlin show. The audio is a matrix of the Berlin vocal, and music from Melbourne; from the Play album. My buddy, the producer Particledots engineered a near perfect track separation / breakdown of both Melbourne and Berlin audios. With what was for all intents and purposes, the master tracks, I created my own mix of the music from Melbourne. I omitted the Melbourne vocal, replacing it in the mix with the Berlin vocal. Therefore, now we have a video which has Devoto singing the actual vocal in the footage, with the band playing the music from the wonderfully crisp recording / production of the Play album.

Quick fix of the Mainman TV commercial made for the Diamond Dogs album, released on this day fifty years ago, 24th of May 1974. Bowie’s publicist Cherry Vanilla produced this television commercial for the upcoming Diamond Dogs album.

Forty years ago, in April 1984, New Order released their single Thieves Like Us, on Factory Records, catalogue number FAC 103. This video is a new edit and restoration of an early live performance of Thieves Like Us from the 20 July 1983 Hacienda show. It is sourced from the 1984 Channel 4 mini documentary, Play at Home and excerpts of footage of the entire Hacienda show. • Thieves Like Us was the only “new” record the band released in 1984. It was quite successful in the UK, reaching no. 18 in the UK singles chart, garnering an appearance on Top of the Pops. It is named after the 1974 film Thieves Like Us, directed by Robert Altman. Guitarist and lead singer Bernard Sumner stated during a TV interview in 1984 that the song's title was suggested by John Benitez. The song was co-written by Arthur Baker during the New York sessions for a previous single, Confusion. This live cut of Thieves Like Us is interesting in many ways. Clocking in at close to 12 minutes long, it is almost double the length of the studio version. The latter part of the track is an electro-style breakdown with sequencers, and synths. • Play at Home was a series of nine, one hour shows, wherein bands were given total control over the program's content with no input from the production company or Channel 4. Some of the other bands featured were Special AKA, The Bunnymen, The Banshees, XTC. New Order Play at Home featured three live performances filmed at the Hacienda. The film also features ironic interviews with the members of New Order, Factory Records boss Tony Wilson, and other Factory and Manchester luminaries Martin Hannett, Rob Gretton, Alan Erasmus, Peter Saville and Pete Shelley, and others. From a Dangerous Minds feature about New Order Play at Home: The star of the proceedings is really Tony Wilson, which makes this movie an interesting companion piece to 24 Hour Party People, which also centered on Wilson [as embodied by Steve Coogan]. Wilson spends much of the documentary in a bathtub [naked], and one of the first things that happens is that Gillian Gilbert jumps into the bathtub [clothed] and starts to interview him. One of the most memorable moments is a bird’s-eye shot of the two of them in the tub, Wilson’s hands placed strategically over his privates, as he attempts to answer Gilbert’s question, which happens to be “Are you a capitalist?” That question, and the related question of Wilson’s financial relationship to the band, provides the seething subtext of hostility that percolates throughout the movie. • The first few minutes of Thieves Like Us, as featured on the Play at Home show, utilises footage of Manchester and surrounding areas. The live performance footage only begins when Bernard Sumner starts to sing. Also, that version has been edited to omit the first verse and the latter part of the track. This video reassembles the complete track and complete live footage. The two sources differ in both video and audio quality. Creating a matrix of the two very different sounding audios, made the contrast between sections of the track too noticeable. In order to get around that, I created a loop of the drum track, and synced it into the mix. In addition, my buddy the producer Particledots, engineered some Isolated sections, giving me an instrumental version to incorporate.

This video is an edited and optimised excerpt of the broadcast of Roger Waters and his touring band, performing the Pink Floyd track, “Sheep”, on this day last year, the 25th of May. • Last summer, I attended one of the Roger Waters,” This Is Not a Drill” concerts. The show started with an announcement: If you’re one of those “I love Pink Floyd, but I can’t stand Roger’s politics” people… you might do well to f**k off to the bar right now. But in my case, I became a Roger Waters fan in the opposite way: I agree with his politics, and became a fan of him because of that. Whereas, growing up in the late 70’s and early 80’s as a New Wave / Post Punk fan, I naturally adopted the attitude that Pink Floyd were styleless bloated dinosaur rock. Regardless, I did secretly like some of their music very much, and Floyd became something of a guilty pleasure for me. Waters is completely unapologetic about his political views. He incorporates political themes in his work and is a very vocal supporter of Palestine in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. And he has been consistent in that over the years. Responding to critics of the political content of his previous tour, Us + Them, he said, “I find it slightly surprising that anybody could have been listening to my songs for 50 years without understanding". My favourite Floyd album was always Animals. Inspired by Orwell’s Animal Farm, it’s an album of angry anti-authority sentiments and some great rock n' roll within the context of the long instrumental interludes. I’ve often thought that if the songs were edited down, stripped of the epic progressive passages, they would be quite punk rock. However, I freely admit; I love the album just as it is. My favourite track from Animals is Sheep. A performance of which ended the first half of the This Is Not a Drill concert I saw. It was for me the highlight of the show. As we can appreciate in the video, Waters is in pretty good voice for an 80-year old guy, the band recreate a remarkably accurate version of the original album track and the visuals throughout the performance are spectacular. • The audio of the broadcast has some bothersome issues, including Water’s vocal being way too loud in the mix. Once again with the technical help of producer Particledots, I think I’ve been able to improve the situation somewhat. I have also done some judicious visual editing. Finally, Roger - in the unlikely event you read this - I’d love to communicate with you about editing This Is Not a Drill footage or archive Floyd material for you.

Forty five years ago today, on the 29th of June 1979, “DJ”, the second single from David Bowie’s album Lodger was released. It's generally acknowledged that with DJ, Bowie was channelling David Byrne and his band Talking Heads. Bowie was fond of Talking Heads and was often name checking them at the time. However, perhaps DJ was quite an odd choice for a single. Sure, it has a good groove, and a catchy chorus. But half way through the song, things go off at a decidedly uncommercial tangent, and the catchy chorus doesn't return. The material for Lodger was initially recorded in September 1978 at Mountain Studios, in Montreux, Switzerland, during a break in the Isolar II tour. Recording resumed in March 1979 at the Record Plant Studios, NYC, where it was also mixed. Due to limitations at the Record Plant, Bowie and producer Tony Visconti were not entirely satisfied with the mix of the Lodger album. In recent years, with Bowie's blessing, Visconti remixed the entire album. He finished the work in 2017, in time for inclusion on the A New Career in a New Town box set. The muddy lo-fi sound of the original mixes has thereby been greatly elevated, and previously unnoticed instrumentation has been revealed. The new mix of DJ is a huge improvement on its predecessor. Carlos Alomar's great riff now seems more prominent, Dennis Davis drum fills are more substantial and there is a much more sturdy sound in general and more even mix of the instruments. Bowie had been impressed with David Mallet's Boys Keep Swinging video segment on the Kenny Everett show. So Bowie had Mallet direct the promo videos for the three Lodger singles – Boys Keep Swinging, Look Back in Anger and DJ. All three videos were shot over a single weekend at Ewart Studios, Wandsworth. With the additional apparently unrehearsed and unannounced street footage for the DJ promo, being shot in Earls Court. The memorable video for DJ sees David Bowie alternately trashing a DJ studio, and strolling around London's Earls court interacting with surprised passers-by. In both scenarios Bowie seems to be having a lot of fun - when we first see him stride into the frame in the first shot, it looks like he is having difficulty keeping a straight face.

Here is a new restoration of R.E.M. performing a live version Harborcoat, the opening track from their album Reckoning, which was released 40 years ago on this day, 9 April 1984. • R.EM.‘s second album Reckoning contains so many great songs - 7 Chinese Brothers, So. Central Rain [I'm Sorry], Pretty Persuasion, [Don’t Go Back To] Rockville [possibly the first time I became aware of Alt Country, tho’ did that terminology exist in ’84?] and the album opener, Harborcoat. I loved almost everything R.E.M. put out in the 80’s and 90’s. and I saw some memorable shows over the years. I believe – tho’ I can’t find any record of it - the first time I saw them was supporting Sonic Youth around 1984. Next, in late ‘85 on the Fables tour. Then it seems there was a long void until I saw them again, at their first Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Stage headliner, in ‘99. This was an extraordinary experience to me; at least partly because my then girlfriend and I were super high on a bunch of pills. The last time I caught R.E.M. was at the Austin City Limits festival in 2003. It was another fabulous show, and afterwards I sorta met Michael Stipe. A guy I was hanging out with in the crowd told me there was to be an R.E.M. secret after-show party, at a small club in town. After the gig, I headed over there, and by some miracle I managed to blag my way in. Inside the club, I sat on a kind of half wall to get a good view of the stage above the small crowd. On stage, R.E.M., minus Michael Stipe, were backing an elderly wheelchair-bound blues guy. This guy’s hands were so arthritic that he played slide guitar with a fork wedged between his fingers. Then Michael Stipe entered the club, and it was one of those surreal moments. As I recall it, all heads seemed to turn to watch him. He cut an impressive figure, appearing to me in that moment as one of the most charismatic and handsome man I’d ever seen. But it was more than that; all the mystery and genius of his songs that I had loved over the years, seemed to overcome me, and I became filled with emotions. And then suddenly Michael Stipe was standing directly in front of me. In a cold sweat, I debated with myself what I should do. Suddenly I was tapping him on the shoulder. Stipe turned to face me with a very nice open expression, but my mind went completely blank. After a nervous pause, I managed to blurt out some probably incoherent fanboy praise. But thank God, Stipe seemed to sense exactly what was going on with me, and warmly shook my hand and thanked me. • The entire Capitol Theatre, 9 June 1984 show is excellent and it is available to stream at the Wolfgang’s Vault site, here: https://www.wolfgangs.com/music/r-e-m/audio/100455-5681.html?tid=20860 Bits of the video are on YouTube in varying degrees of not-great quality.

Forty five years ago today, on Monday 23rd of April 1979, David Bowie performed Boys Keep Swinging on the popular Thames TV program The Kenny Everett Show. • On the 8th of April, Bowie recorded the backing track for this exclusive version of Boys Keep Swinging, at Tony Visconti’s Good Earth Studios in Soho, London. It was a one-off band picked by Visconti for the session, including ‘78 tour alumni Simon House and Sean Mayes, on violin and piano respectively, Thin Lizzy’s Brian Robertson on guitar and Visconti on bass. The next day, April 9th, was the taping of the show, at Thames Television House, also in London. The session was directed by David Mallet, who directed the entire Kenny Everett Show series. The episode was then broadcast on ITV on April 23rd. That was the first time new material was aired from Bowie’s forthcoming album, Lodger. It had been an interminable 18 months for Bowie fans, since the release of the “Heroes” album in October 1977. The Boys Keep Swinging single wouldn’t be released for another four days. And when it appeared, it was a different version to the one aired on The Kenny Everett Show, with a different video to accompany it. Arguably, The Kenny Everett Show audio and video of Boys Keep Swinging are more satisfying than the official versions. Yes, we are lacking Belew’s marvellous screaming guitar freakout from the Lodger version, and the three Bowie's in drag from the official video. But I really like the live vocal and the rough edges of this version. And Bowie looks spectacularly beautiful here, sporting what looks to be a black boiler suit, sandals, and white nail polish. He’s clearly enjoying himself enormously performing his new song. The Kenny Everett Show would be the first time Bowie worked with director David Mallet. Bowie was sufficiently impressed with the results, that he also had Mallet shoot the official Boys Keep Swinging video with Mallet, using the same set from The Kenny Everett Show. Bowie and Mallet also worked together on the other videos for Lodger songs, and intermittently during the 80’s on several very well-known videos. • Five years ago, I attempted a restoration of the Kenny Everett performance. Since then, I have obtained a slightly better source, and technology has moved on. So here’s Take 2. Note: during the credits at the end of this episode of the Kenny Everett Show, we glimpse quick clips of Bowie throwing the violin, as opposed to catching it as he does in the Boys Keep Swinging clip. In the clip, he pretends to play a violin during the shrieking guitar break. What we are seeing here is footage played in reverse and in varying degrees of slow motion. Out of curiosity, I reversed the footage to the right way round and retimed it to a normal speed. The results are included at the end of the video.

The Blue Nile album, A Walk Across the Rooftops, which contained Tinseltown in the Rain, was released on this day forty years ago, the 30th of April 1984. Here’s a restored version of the original Tinseltown in the Rain promo video. Brilliant, mature pop that wasn’t a hit when it came out, reaching only no. 87 in the UK singles charts. Both the album and the single received great acclaim from the UK music press, including Tinseltown in the Rain receiving a no. 18 placing in the NME’s end of year round up, which is where it came to my attention. I love the video, which makes me feel nostalgic for the styles and moods of those times.

Here is a newly restored version of the classic Patti Smith Group OGWT performance of Because the Night, recorded on this day, the 3rd of April 1978, at the BBC Television Theatre, during the group’s 4-night residency at London’s Rainbow Theatre. • Because the Night had originally been a Bruce Springsteen song. Springsteen and the E Street Band had initially recorded it at Atlantic Studios, New York on the 1st of June 1977, the first day of sessions for the album, Darkness on the Edge of Town. At that time, the lyrics only consisted of the song title and some mumbling. Springsteen struggled with the song for almost four months. He later admitted he was not satisfied with the song, and he already knew he was not going to finish it since it was "a[nother] love song". His engineer, Jimmy Iovine, got involved. At the time, Iovine was also producing the album Easter for Patti Smith at the Record Plant in New York, where Darkness was being recorded. Iovine says, "Now, Bruce was very understanding and very flexible, because he realized that this was my first real break as a producer. Anyway, one night whilst we were lounging around the Hotel Navarro in New York I told Bruce I desperately wanted a hit with Patti, that she deserved one. He agreed. As he had no immediate plans to put 'Because the Night' on an album, I said why not give it to Patti. Bruce replied, 'If she can do it, she can have it.' Iovine brought Smith the recording by Springsteen, from September 27, 1977. Smith added her own lyrics, and recorded it with Iovine. The song was first performed live at a Patti Smith concert at CBGB’s in New York City on December 30, 1977 (Smith's 31st birthday), with Springsteen joining on vocals and guitar. Because the Night was the Patti Smith Group’s biggest hit, reaching No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and No. 5 in the UK singles charts. It helped propel sales of Easter to mainstream success. • Most of us already know and love this faultless April 1978 OGWT performance, I am quite sure. Patti and the band sound and look perfect, and it is surely one of the greatest TV rock performances of all time. Here, I’ve tried to create an optimised sound and vision HD version for us to enjoy.

Forty years ago this month, April 1984, New Order released their single Thieves Like Us B/W Lonesome Tonight. This live cut of Lonesome Tonight, recorded in 1983, is vastly superior to the studio version, predominantly due to Hooky's monster bassline and Stephen Morris’ propulsive drumming pushed to the fore. This video is a new edit and restoration of footage from the 20 July Hacienda show, sourced from the 1984 Channel 4 mini documentary Play at Home and excerpts from footage of the entire Hacienda show. • Play at Home was a series of nine, one hour shows, wherein bands were given total control over the program's content with no input from the production company or Channel 4. Some of the other bands featured were Special AKA, The Bunnymen, The Banshees, XTC. New Order Play at Home featured three live performances filmed at the Hacienda. The film also features ironic interviews with the members of New Order, Factory Records boss Tony Wilson, and other Factory and Manchester luminaries Martin Hannett, Rob Gretton, Alan Erasmus, Peter Saville and Pete Shelley, and others. From a Dangerous Minds feature about New Order Play at Home: The star of the proceedings is really Tony Wilson, which makes this movie an interesting companion piece to 24 Hour Party People, which also centered on Wilson [as embodied by Steve Coogan]. Wilson spends much of the documentary in a bathtub [naked], and one of the first things that happens is that Gillian Gilbert jumps into the bathtub [clothed] and starts to interview him. One of the most memorable moments is a bird’s-eye shot of the two of them in the tub, Wilson’s hands placed strategically over his privates, as he attempts to answer Gilbert’s question, which happens to be “Are you a capitalist?” That question, and the related question of Wilson’s financial relationship to the band, provides the seething subtext of hostility that percolates throughout the movie. • I saw many New Order shows in the 80’s. Sometimes they were godlike and sometimes they were godawful. Sometimes when the band played an old favorite of mine, I thought they were unable to satisfactorily reproduce the studio version. On the other hand, sometimes when a new song was finally released, it failed to live up to the promise of the live versions I had heard. Case in point of the latter is Lonesome Tonight. New Order only released one “new” record in 1984; the single Thieves Like Us B/W Lonesome Tonight. I loved Thieves Like Us, but initially I overlooked Lonesome Tonight, because of it's seemingly weak production. Then a few months later Channel 4 broadcasted the New Order Play at Home episode and to my astonishment a live version of Lonesome Tonight absolutely kicked ass! Eight or nine years ago, when I started the Nachos Videos YouTube channel, one of the first “restorations” I tried was Lonesome Tonight from the Play at Home episode. I didn’t have good sources and the performance as shown on Play at Home was not complete, omitting the last minute or so. In 2020, New Order released the Power, Corruption & Lies [Definitive Edition] box set. The set features the Play at Home episode and video of the entire Hacienda 20 July 1983 show. Here I have merged the two sources to create a complete version of the Lonesome Tonight performance. You will notice that the latter one minute or so is in inferior quality with noticeable audio dropouts.

A new restoration of the Spring '78 Dallas live footage, re-cut to the Stage version of Blackout, which was recorded in the U.S. during the same period. • Dedicated to the memory of Dennis Davis, who was born on this day, 28 August 1949. Dennis was my favorite drummer. • “Time again to praise Dennis Davis”, is how Chris O’Leary starts the essay on Blackout, featured on his excellent blog, Pushing Ahead of the Dame. “..Davis sounds like a percussive orchestra, or his fills seem a painstaking series of drum overdubs. But it’s just him, most of his drumming cut live, like the series of crazy fills Davis does twice on “Blackout” (cued by Bowie’s “get me to the doctor!” at 1:01 and 2:02), where he spins like the second hand of a clock, moving from toms to congas back to toms. There’s the little fills Davis throws in throughout, as if providing regular infusions of oxygen, or his move to what sounds like cowbell on the “get me off the streets” verse. And during it all Davis keeps perfect time. A human jazz metronome, Visconti later called him: playing flawlessly, yet never the same way twice. Chris concludes the essay with, “The version from Philadelphia, May 1978, collected on Stage, is arguably the definitive version of the song: Bowie’s vocal is tremendous and Davis sounds like a monster’. https://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/?s=blackout Chris is not wrong, on both counts. Davis’ drumming is always thrilling, and Blackout is perhaps his pièce de résistance. On both the studio version on “Heroes” and this live version, his drumming is breathtaking. To me, Blackout is very high art. Bowie was simply at the peak of his creativity at this point. And this track is one of the finest that he created during the so-called Berlin-era. Blackout exists in a special rarefied air, and somehow manages to be abrasive, bleak, funky, romantic, sinister and joyful all at the same time. I’ve been listening to it for almost 40 years, and it still knocks me out. Surely this track was a huge influence on some off the New Wave bands that sprung up in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Listen to Echo & the Bunnymen’s dark, sophisticated 1981 masterpiece, "Heaven Up Here". The elements are all here - the bleak atmosphere, angular guitars, funky basslines, pounding drums, obscure lyrics, controlled off-key singing. • One is always limited in what is possible re-purposing footage onto another audio source. Songs are never played the same way twice, and on this track Bowie, Davis and guitarist Adrian Belew are particularly wayward. As has been mentioned, Davis didn’t play the same way twice. Bowie ad libs very differently on the two versions and swaps emphasis and even lyrics around quite frequently. And special mention must go to Adrian Belew, who more or less plays crazed guitar solos throughout, and was therefore very hard to create believable syncs with the footage. This is my third attempt at this video. I was inspired to remake it again, because I was adding video content to the Carlos Alomar and George Murray panel at the David Bowie World Fan Convention in New York this summer. I wanted Carlos and George and the audience to experience something that really showed Bowie's DAM trio band at their peak. The night of the panel, after I queued up the video and pressed play, I went and stood by the bar, at the back of the venue to watch my Blackout video, on a screen the size of a double-decker bus. Also watching at the back was Dennis Davies student Stirling Campbell, who was grooving along approvingly. It was a proud moment for me. Thanks for watching, hope you dig it! • Carlos, George and myself will be appearing at next year's David Bowie World Fan Convention in Liverpool.

“Hollywood High - Alan Yentob's Cracked Actor” – is a two-hour deep dive into the classic 1975 David Bowie documentary with its creator, Alan Yentob, CBE. This one-off live event is taking place as part of the David Bowie World Fan Convention, in Liverpool on the 26 - 28 July 2024. Noted artist, author and fellow 70's Bowie fanatic Mark Wardel and I, will host the event, interviewing Alan Yentob extensively about his film. We will show clips from a new restored HD version of the film, and in the latter part of the session, invite questions from the audience. Mark Wardel has coauthored with US writer Susan Compo, the recently published book 'The Fly In The Milk-David Bowie Cracked Actor', which is the first full critical study of this landmark documentary. Last year I wrote the following for the book launch: I am so pleased that Mark and Susan’s book, exploring the documentary Cracked Actor, is finally out. Cracked Actor deserves to be investigated and celebrated, because it is a masterful piece of filmmaking, and is in my opinion, by far the best David Bowie documentary. The reason most other Bowie documentaries are failures, is that they attempt to create a complete career retrospective / life overview / definitive portrait of David Bowie’s art and his psyche; they mistakenly try to answer the question, ‘Who was David Bowie REALLY? As if a person as sophisticated, complex, ambiguous, multifaceted and talented as David Bowie, and his extraordinarily diverse 50+ years of art, could be satisfactorily summed up in the span of an hour, or even two hours and 20 minutes? Alan Yentob’s 1975 film Cracked Actor has no such pretensions; it’s an acutely focussed snapshot of a moment in time. Fortunately for us, that moment was a supremely interesting one. And best of all, the Cracked Actor snapshot was not taken retrospectively; it was actually made at that compelling and fascinating moment in time. Cracked Actor is almost 50 years old, and yet its format and techniques seem so timeless, it rarely feels like its leaning into the anachronistic clichés we have come to associate with documentaries of that era. How is it that Yentob was able to create something so intelligent and fresh, and utterly prescient about Bowie? A few years ago, desperate to produce some David Bowie 1974 concert videos for YouTube, I cut three stand-alone clips made from Cracked Actor material. Labouring over a hot editing suite for many hours, days and weeks, I came to appreciate in a new way what a fine piece of work Cracked Actor truly is. • Alan Yentob, CBE is a British television executive and presenter. He has held senior roles at the BBC including head of music and arts, controller of BBC1 and controller of BBC2. He stepped down as the BBC's creative director in December 2015. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2024 Birthday Honours for services to the arts and media. • BowieCon24 has a theme – "The Year of the Diamond Dogs" – to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that extraordinary year for David Bowie, and the event includes plenty of panels and flavours of Bowie’s ’74!

A new previously unreleased video of Nico performing her first single, I’m Not Saying, cut from recently surfaced raw 16mm footage, shot in the UK in 1965. • In 1965 The Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham and his business manager Tony Calder, set up Immediate Records. The label signed artists such as Rod Stewart, Small Faces, The Nice and Fleetwood Mac. One of the first releases on the label, IM003 in fact, was I'm Not Sayin', the debut record by German model and actress Nico. I'm Not Sayin' was a song written and recorded by Gordon Lightfoot, that was released in early 1965. Nico’s version was recorded in May of that year, at Regent Sounds, in Denmark Street, London. It is disputed who produced and played on the track. Andrew Loog Oldham has been credited as producer. But Oldham himself is quoted as saying it was Jimmy Page (later of the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin) who produced, and played guitar. Page was then a 21-year-old session guitarist who had been recruited by Oldham as Immediate’s house producer. Other sources say that it was Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones playing guitar on the track. At that time, Jones and Nico were dating, which lends some credibility to that. Another source states that the track features a combination of Jones and Page on guitar. David Whitaker is credited as conductor of the orchestra, elsewhere also as arranger. David Whitaker’s sound is widely known for his instantly recognisable strings, on the Andrew Oldham Orchestra’s 1965 track The Last Time, which 30 years later, became the basis of the Verve’s Bittersweet Symphony. • There is an existing promo film for Nico’s I’m Not Sayin’, that was shot at London’s West India Docks. Poor quality versions of the promo have been on YouTube for several years. About 2 years ago, 6 minutes of extraordinary footage of Nico appeared on the Kinolibrary YouTube channel, an independent archive film agency: https://youtu.be/IsSTVqN8xmY The uploaded footage is excellent quality, superbly lit and shot, and considering it was over fifty years old, shows virtually no signs of deterioration or mishandling. The clip is described simply as, “1960’s UK, Nico performing at home 16mm”. It is said that Nico was living at Paul McCartney’s London home at the time. Therefore, is it possible that the footage was shot there? Paul, if you’re reading (!) can you please confirm either way? The Kinolibrary footage is silent, and no clues are offered in the video description as to what Nico may have been performing. A few commentators on the YouTube upload postulated about what song she might be singing. Last year, Ada K. reached out to me, saying that they had identified the song Nico was performing in the clip as I’m Not Sayin’. Ada K. asked me if I was interested in trying to synch the footage to the song, and moreover see if it would be possible to create a music video for the song from the raw footage. As a lifelong Velvet Underground fan, and someone long beguiled and intrigued by the enigmatic and beautiful Nico, I gratefully accepted the suggestion. Ada K. studied the footage carefully, and identified for me most of the lines of the song Nico was singing during which parts of the footage. That was invaluable in helping me expedite the synching process. There were a few parts of the song where no usable footage was included in the silent reel. But with imagination, patience and modern technology, I was able to adequately get around those issues. Then, after a few hours of trying out some basic cuts, it became clear to me that that this was potentially a great project, and a very significant find. I wrote to Ada K. : it's great to see this beautiful footage of her looking exactly as she does with Velvets a year or so later. And tho the syncing is boring, slow work, it's truly wonderful when a sync falls into place and suddenly she's singing, I'm not sayin'... And so now we have a brand new, never before seen high-quality video for Nico’s classic debut single, I’m Not Sayin’.

This video is a completely re-edited version of a Cocteau Twins TV performance of Sugar Hiccup, a track from their 1983 album Head Over Heels. • Wiki: Head over Heels is the second studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins. The album was released on 24 October 1983 through the label 4AD. It featured the band's signature sound of "Guthrie's lush guitars under Fraser's mostly wordless vocals". Fabulous piece published in The Quietus on the 40th anniversary of Head Over Heels, written by Darran Anderson: https://thequietus.com/articles/33528-coct • As a teenager in 1983, I had my dream job, working behind the counter at Virgin Records, Croydon High Street. I vividly remember in October that year, Head Over Heels arriving at our store. I recall that the 4AD artwork made it hard to ascertain which was side 1. I put the vinyl on the record deck and the store became filled with exquisite soaring vocals, reverb drenched guitars and unidentifiable instruments. Prior to that, I’d written off the Cocteau Twins as gothy 2nd-rate Banshees imitators. But somehow with Head Over Heels the band had completely reinvented themselves, and created something entirely new. Certainly I’d never heard anything like it. Sugar Hiccup was very obviously the most accessible and catchy song from the Head Over Heels album. It quickly became a staple for alternative music lovers during that era. It’s no surprise that a few weeks after the album was released, an 12” EP followed with Sugar Hiccup as the lead track. Perhaps if 4AD and the band had the budget and the will, a promo video could have been made, and Sugar Hiccup might well have been a 1983 Christmas hit! Until quite recently, I was unaware that there was any video of the Cocteau Twins performing Sugar Hiccup. Then I stumbled across the Àngel Casas Show footage, originally broadcasted on the 3rd of July 1984 on TV3, a Catalan TV station. The footage is very problematic, because it features some extremely, shall we say, "random", lip syncing. Liz Fraser seems to remember many parts wrongly, and even totally omits miming whole sections of the song. Her voice rings out, as she stands mute at the mic, and it seems, a little embarrassed. A few months ago, I tasked myself with creating a coherent video for Sugar Hiccup with the Àngel Casas Show material, and have been dabbling with it ever since. I swapped scenes around and manipulated others. The fact that the original video often has lengthy double and triple dissolves did not make things any easier. Anyway, now we have a video that [hopefully] appears to show Liz Fraser miming correctly to Sugar Hiccup. You dear viewer, may be the judge of whether it works, or not.

The Jam’s single, A Town Called Malice was released on this day, the 29th of January 1982. This video is a restored and re-edited version of the original promo video. • Time is short and life is cruel but it's up to us to change… When I was growing up, The Jam seemed ubiquitous; always having a new single out and making another appearance on Top of the Pops, all of which were uniformly brilliant. And indeed, between 1977, and their split in 1982, The Jam released 18 consecutive top 40 singles, including four number one hits. Those songs, often about the bitterness of working class life in Thatcher’s rotten Britain and aspirations for something better, are all so deep in my subconscious. The Jam produced six studio albums, including their final one, The Gift in March 1982. The release of The Gift was preceded in January ‘82, by one of The Jam's finest singles, A Town Called Malice; a song about trying to deal with hardship in a small, downtrodden English town. A Town Called Malice went straight into the UK charts at number one, and sold over a million copies. Mike Brady’s very nicely shot promo video is marred by some poor editing choices, IMO. The existing version of the promo on the Jam’s official YouTube channel is poor quality. So, here’s my fix.

Restored classic footage of The Fall live in New York in 1981, performing Totally Wired, synced to a high quality audio of the same performance, from the album A Part of America, Therein. Posting on the anniversary of the death of The Fall's Mark E. Smith. RIP MES 5 March 1957 – 24 January 2018 • Totally Wired is one of the few early Fall songs that has its own Wiki page: Released in September 1980, the single became one of their signature tracks. It reached no. 2 in the UK Independent Singles Chart and no. 25 in New Zealand. In a dismissive review on its release, Danny Baker said in NME: "Totally Wired is ugly, and terribly produced…” The track appeared in John Peel's Festive Fifty in both 1980 and 1981, reaching 21 and 56 respectively and number 34 on All Time Festive Fifty broadcast in 2000. Subsequently it appeared at #57 on the "100 Greatest Singles of the Post-Punk Era" published by Uncut in 2001, in Gary Mulholland's book This is Uncool – The 500 Greatest Singles since Punk and Disco, published in 2003, and in the Guide To the (500) Greatest Songs from Punk To the Present published by Pitchfork published in 2014. The originally US-only 1982 album, A Part of America, Therein, was compiled from recordings of live shows in Chicago, New York, Memphis, Houston, and San Francisco, between May and July 1981. The quality of recordings is variable, and the album was described as a "slap-dash document" of the band's US tour. The Totally Wired live video, shot at an unspecified New York show, first came to my attention on the 1983 home video, Perverted By Language Bis. Thanks to the great site The Annotated Fall, we know that the hard to fathom extra M.E. Smiths lyrics in this live version are: You don't have to be weird to be wired You don't have to be a died hair punk funk shit-hot fucked up tick-tock pad You don't have to be strange to be strangled When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro http://annotatedfall.doomby.com/pages/the-annotated-lyrics/totally-wired.html And many thanks to then-Fall guitarist Mark Riley [he's the tall handsome chap stage left in this video] who has been kind enough to send us these recollections: I remember we’d just not long since finished a European tour and were off to America. It was our 2nd time over there but this time we were to do it ‘properly’ traveling some long distances in a van rather than doing a batch of dates on the east coast and then flying over to the west. This was the same tour that we opened for The Clash at Bonds Casino in Times Sq. They were supposed to do a handful of shows but the tickets were massively oversold and so it ended up a record breaking 17 night residency. I recall we played well that night. Perhaps too well, which resulted in one of the Clash road crew unplugging our amps prematurely and the DJ banging a tune on in the blink of an eye. Before we were about to soundcheck, Joe Strummer approached MES on a staircase and said to him “I bet you hate us don’t you…”. I’m not sure Mark ever told us his response. Maxwells was a great club. Small (200 capacity) and dark. Perfect for us. I say ‘was’ a small club as a quick bout of research tells me it was under new ownership by 2013 and shut its doors permanently in 2018. Its probably a Sushi Bar these days. This is a great version of Totally Wired. Sadly not featuring original drummer Paul Hanley who couldn't join us on this tour due to the fact that he wasn't old enough to even enter most of the clubs we were playing. Karl of course does a great job tho.
