Since Bowie's death in January 2016, the shock he has given the world has not diminished, and until now, fans have been able to exist normally, release albums, and see each other on tour, which they took for granted. I am made to realize that the moment with Bowie itself was a series of special times. Bowie fell ill during the 2004 Reality Tour and canceled later dates. Then there is a long period of silence. Some reports say he has retired, and he has even turned down offers to perform at the London Olympics. It is not clear what they were doing during that time, but fans were surprised when they suddenly released a new album, ``THE NEXT DAY,'' in 2013, and expectations for their next activities were high. However, contrary to expectations, Bowie once again entered a period of silence. Fans must have been watching warmly, wondering what Bowie was doing, what he was thinking, and what he would do next. Bowie fell ill during his 2014 tour and canceled subsequent tours, and he never did another tour in his lifetime. However, he has appeared on stage several times. This work is a collection of live sound sources in which Bowie stood on stage as a single after the 2014 tour. There was no full concert, only guest appearances, each performing on a few songs, but fans were relieved just to be able to see Bowie appear in public and sing live. there were. Such a one-off stage was like a letter sent from Bowie, who was in a semi-retired state, conveying his current situation. The first was a stage performance in New York on September 8, 2005. Bowie sang ``Life on Mars'' with a simple piano-only performance in the background. This was the first stage after the tour was suspended. The way he sings quietly and movingly is amazing, and although his singing feels a little blank, there is something about Bowie's voice that touches your heart as he speaks words with so much emotion. The next two songs are co-stars with Arcade Fire. Bowie didn't have his own band because he was away from touring, but by collaborating with a powerful new band, he performed dramatic rock tunes in a way that would appeal to young people. are. "Five Years" shows Arcade Fire's respect for Bowie, as Bowie sings with a performance that is almost a complete copy of the original. Bowie then joined Dave Gilmour on his tour at the Royal Albert Hall on May 29, 2006, singing two of Floyd's "Arnold Layne" and "Comfortably Numb" with Gilmour. . It's strange that Bowie sings Floyd's number, and it doesn't feel strange at all when you listen to it, and it feels like a Bowie song. The last time Bowie sang in public was on stage in New York on September 9, 2006. At this time, there are three songs: ``Breath of the Wild'', ``A Wonderful Voyage'', and ``Changes''. ``Breath of the Wild''...With only a solemn piano accompaniment in the background, it is a tremendous song that conveys the feeling of Bowie singing with all his soul. A wonderful version where you can enjoy Bowie's undulating tone of voice, including falsetto. Although Bowie himself probably did not know that this would be the last stage of his life, having stood on countless stages up until now, it can be said that it was a once-in-a-lifetime singing performance with no regrets. The following song, ``Wonderful Voyage,'' has a light and refreshing atmosphere, and is sung very freely. Although this song had not been performed on stage for a long time since its release, it was the first song to be performed live on the Reality Tour. And this is the last one, ``Changes''. The last live performance of Bowie's life was ``Changes'', in which he sang his own theme. Bowie sings naturally, normally, happily, and lightly, and there is no sentimental feeling that this is the last time. This is only the knowledge of posterity, so it is natural, but we still prick up our ears with such emotion. This is Bowie's last performance before his death. ``Changes'' Bowie's death was widely reported not only by rock fans but also as general news. Since Bowie boasted a career spanning over 40 years, his influence must have been great on younger musicians as well. In the second half, upon hearing the news of Bowie's death, various musicians express their condolences by playing Bowie's songs on stage and once again offer their feelings of respect. Jon Bon Jovi performs "Heroes" acoustically. While on tour, Madonna suddenly added "Beloved Rebellion" to her set list. “Bowie changed my life. He taught us that it was okay to be different,” are the words that resonate in my heart. Adam Lambert, who heard the news of his death during his visit to Japan, performed "Let's Dance" at his Osaka performance. And just like Madonna, Bruce Springsteen also performed "Beloved Rebellion" on stage during his tour. Blues, who was in its infancy, must have been extremely grateful that a musician as famous as Bowie covered his songs. And the highlight is the last track, Lady Gaga. During her performance at the Grammy Awards, Gaga appeared on stage wearing the same outfit and make-up as Bowie from his Ziggy days (she has since gotten a Bowie tattoo). He then sang a Bowie medley starting with "Space Oddity." Gaga's eccentric fashion and musical style that shatters preconceived notions are highly compatible with Gaga's, and listening to this medley, it becomes clear that this is not a one-off performance for Gaga, but that she is truly a loyal follower of Bowie. It's clearly conveyed. This is a compilation of Bowie's single stage performances since his last tour in 2004. During the tour in 2004, he fell ill and, in contrast to the energetic touring he had been up until then, he became completely reclusive, and the only time he appeared on stage after that was in this album. is everything. And Bowie's last performance before his death was ``Changes''. Changes... Change is an eternal theme for Bowie, who was always moving toward something new, not wanting to follow the established rules. And even after Bowie's death, this theme still evokes new sensations in those of us who listen to Bowie's music. Even now that Bowie has passed away, that theme remains in our hearts as an eternal one. And "Changes" is Bowie's final message to us: we must not be satisfied with the status quo, we must always look forward and change. It is a will.
