David Bowie: 50 dead dogs... The happy birthday bootleg

David Bowie (born David Robert Jones on January 8, 1947) is an English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, arranger and mixer, whose work spans more than four decades. A knowing and occasionally camp figure, he is universally recognised as one of the more accomplished and inspired artists in popular music. Throughout the 1970s he took cues from art, philosophy and literature and appeared to elevate pop and rock to a more sophisticated level. He is also a film and stage actor, music video director and visual artist. On 9 January 1997, Bowie played a concert at Madison Square Garden to celebrate his 50th birthday (although his birthday was the previous day). Guest performers included Billy Corgan, Frank Black, Sonic Youth, Robert Smith of The Cure, Brian Molko, and Lou Reed whose 1972 album Transformer Bowie co-produced.

COMMENTS: The third issue of the birthday concert. This one is copied straight off the CD 50TH BIRTHDAY BASH (1997), and the excellent sound quality has been maintained.

The discs have the same kind of iris picture as you can find on the official EARTHLING cover. A Nice issue!
