David Bowie/Australia 02.20.2004 Complete

In 2004, David Bowie embarked on his final Oceania tour in 17 years. The original master, allowing you to experience the scene, is now available. This work features the "February 20, 2004 Sydney Performance." This is the finest audience recording. Since it was his first Oceania tour in a long time, there were many great recordings. Starting with the classic "SYDNEY 2004 2ND NIGHT," there are many popular works. While also organizing his collection, let's start by taking a bird's-eye view of his activities at the time. 2003 August 19th: Warm-up gig ("REALITY" released September 16th) October 7th - November 28th: ​​Europe #1 (31 performances) ← *Official December 13th - 20th: North America #1a (4 performances) 2004 January 7th - February 7th: North America #1b (18 performances) ← *DENVER 2004 February 14th - March 1st: Oceania (8 performances) ←★Here★ March 4th - 14th: Asia (5 performances) ←*BUDOKAN 2004, etc. March 29th - June 5th: North America #2 (39 performances) ←*ATLANTIC CITY 2004, etc. June 11th - June 25th: Europe #2 (7 performances) (June 25th: Urgently transported to hospital due to an aneurysm) This is the big picture of "A REALITY Tour". Their final performance in Japan was also memorable, but the Oceania Tour was scheduled for that YT billion meal. Let's focus more on the dates. Oceania Leg: February 14th: Wellington performance * February 17th "AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2004 (Brisbane)" * February 20th: Sydney performance ←★This work★ * February 21st "SYDNEY 2004 2ND NIGHT" * February 23rd "AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2004 (Adelaide)" * February 26th + 27th "MELBOURNE 2004" * March 1st: Perth performance ... and so on. The 2004 Sydney performance was held on two consecutive nights, the day before the classic "SYDNEY 2004 2ND NIGHT" at the same venue. This vacuum-packed work from that show is an exquisite masterpiece. Compared to the next day's masterpiece, it has a slight hall sound, but it is also clear and transparent, and it only enhances the vocal growth. Rather, the combination of a natural echo and a sense of close contact is like an FM broadcast, and if it had not been discovered at the same time as "SYDNEY 2004 2ND NIGHT", this work would undoubtedly have been permanently preserved. Such a superb sound is depicted as a full show that is similar to "SYDNEY 2004 2ND NIGHT". Let's organize it by comparing it here. 60s/70s (12 songs) Ziggy Stardust: Five Years / Suffragette City (*) / Ziggy Stardust Other: The Man Who Sold the World / Life on Mars? / Rebel Rebel / Fame / A New Career In A New Town / "Heroes" / Fantastic Voyage (*) / All the Young Dudes / White Light / White Heat 80s and beyond (14 songs) 80s: China Girl / Ashes to Ashes / Under Pressure 90s: Hello Spaceboy / I'm Afraid of Americans Heathen: Cactus / 5:15 The Angels Have Gone (*) / Sunday / I've Been Waiting for You (*) Reality: New Killer Star / Reality (*) / The Loneliest Guy / Looking For Water / Days *Note: Songs marked with an asterisk (*) cannot be heard on the album "SYDNEY 2004 2ND NIGHT". There are four daily songs that cannot be heard on "SYDNEY 2004 2ND NIGHT," but all but "Fantastic Voyage" are repertoires that cannot be heard on the official "A REALITY TOUR" album. In fact, there was a one-minute recording error at the beginning of "Looking for Water" mid-show, but it's a great recording. Moreover, that part was supplemented with a separate recording, resulting in a complete live album. This live album, with quality approaching the permanently preserved "SYDNEY 2004 2ND NIGHT," allows you to experience the precious venue 100% live. "February 20, 2004 Sydney Performance." This is the finest audience recording. This is the best master provided by a researcher, and its combination of natural echo and close contact is reminiscent of FM broadcasting.
