“MINI TOUR 2000” was only 4 performances. A video work that allows you to experience this rare scene in the highest quality has been decided to be released. This work was filmed at the “New York performance on June 16, 2000.” Bowie didn't release any albums this year and was in a rest mode. However, it has been decided that they will be performing at the "Glastonbury Festival" in June, and several concerts called the "MINI TOUR" will be held accordingly. This work is an audience shot that records that one act. First, let's check the position from the overview of "MINI TOUR". ・June 16th: New York performance [This work] 《June 17th: New York performance (cancelled)》 ・June 19th: New York performance (scheduled) ・June 25th: Glastonbury Festival ・June 27th: BBC RADIO THEATER All 4 performances. Mainly performing at Glastonbury Festival, just before that they held two warm-up events in New York. These two New York performances were held exclusively for fan club members, and were originally scheduled for June 16th and 17th. However, Bowie developed a severe cold and the 17th was canceled, and it was rescheduled to the 19th. Most of the shows, including the subsequent “Glastonbury Festival” and BBC concert, are left with some kind of professional shot, but the only exception is “June 16th” on the first day of New York. In other words, it is the show of this work. This work, which records such a first day, is not only valuable but also excellent in quality. The most overwhelming thing is the proximity! It is an audience shot taken from the first floor seat slightly to the left of the stage, but Bowie is projected through the shadow of the front row, and his waist-up is so far away that it fills the screen. Moreover, he is very skillful at getting around. Although the stability is not good as it seems to be a free-hand shot, when the front row person swings up, their arms and heads are only visible for a moment. Almost only Bowie is the image that continues to occupy the screen. And, the sound suitable for the scene is also full of closeness. You can't even feel the acoustics of the venue, and every single word of the lyrics is conveyed in perfect sync with the clearly visible lips. Although it is a master that is said to be the 2nd generation, there is almost no white line noise or dubbing traces, and the sights and sounds are revived as they were at the time. The show depicted with its visual beauty is a precious 2000 Bowie. Perhaps because it's a special tour, there are many rare songs in the set, with "STATION TO STATION" especially standing out. The opening song was ``Wild Is the Wind,'' which was the first song in 17 years at the time, and ``Golden Years,'' ``Stay,'' and ``Station to Station'' were also interspersed. Since filming ended at "Station to Station," we don't know the final part of the show, but it still lasted about 80 minutes, and you won't be able to see it in the next pro shot on "June 19th," including "Survive" and "Ashes to Station." Ashes,” “Rebel Rebel,” “This Is Not America,” “Starman,” and “The Man Who Sold the World.” What's even more special than that set is the homely atmosphere. As mentioned earlier, Bowie's health is far from perfect, and although he is smiling and charming, there is no action-like action and his voice sings indifferently. You can clearly see that he is barely managing. However, this work does not feel tragic. Although Bowie is not in his best condition, the audience surrounding him are fan club members. The warm cheers give Bowie strength, and he continues to please the audience with his best performance. It's not explosive, but it's not sloppy, and although it's not at its best, it's not heartbreaking either. You can experience such a show from the perspective of a special seat. Anyway, “MINI TOUR 2000” has too few performances. This is a masterpiece video where you can stand at the extremely rare scene and share the homely atmosphere with fan club members. Rather than a piece of music that is in top condition, it is a piece that stimulates the psychology of fans. Live at Roseland Ballroom, New York, NY, USA 16th June 2000(80:11) 1. Intro 2.
