I know Nassau '76 has always been a popular show among Bowie fans, coming fourth as it did in our Bowie bootleg poll of last year. (04.26.2008 NEWS: VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE BOWIE BOOTLEG & 06.01.2008 NEWS: YOUR FAVOURITE BOWIE BOOTLEG POLL RESULTS)

The poll asked: "What other bootlegs would you like to see get the official treatment?". The Thin White Duke still came fourth even after I stipulated that it would be coming out anyway.

I guess what I'm trying to say in a roundabout way is that it's probably even more popular than our poll suggested. Either way, I for one can't wait to hear Harry's 5.1 mix of Station To Station and his mix of Live Nassau 1976.

Stay tuned for more details.



The planet is glowing.

I guess hearing the train going from left to right isn't good enough - we need to be surrounded by trains!

Nice to see WFTM, QB, LOM? and 5 years on the live discs, mind you.

This looks great and I'll definitely get this when it's available. I wonder how much it will cost. Hopefully they won't delay its release.

I reckon £15.99

Good stuff. Although if the Nassau show is spread over two discs, there's no reason to edit the drum solo in "Panic in Detroit".

...except that it's extremely boring to listen to.

I can't wait for the surround version. I hope they keep it up and do Low and Scary monsters as well.

Well, that hasn't stopped hours... from being re-released, has it?

I remember Bowie once said something along the lines of the final version of Station to Station being given a polished, commercial sheen. I was always kinda hanging onto the hope that one day we'd get to hear some alternate (rougher?) mixes of the songs.

I always felt the drum solo was put in there so Bowie could go backstage to do a couple of lines of cocaine and refresh himself.

I think Bowie was weaning himself off cocaine that point, replacing it with brandy.
