(2002) Containing an impressive collection of little-seen TV appearances, music videos and live concert footage, the BEST OF BOWIE is a comprehensive overview of David Bowie’s career to date. We start with three performances from the BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test (“Oh, You Pretty Things,” “Queen Bitch,” and “Five Years”), then move onto full performances from shows like Top of the Pops (“Starman”), Russell Harty Plus Pop (“The Jean Genie,” “Space Oddity”) and a rare caught-on-camera performance of “Rebel, Rebel” from a Dutch TV show called TopPop. The rest of this release concentrates on a concert from the Serious Moonlight tour of 1983, and a chronological array of music videos, starting with “Absolute Beginners” (1986) and ending with “Survive” (from 1999’s “Hours” album). Bowie fans can finally throw away their poor-quality bootleg copies of this material and enjoy these performances as they were meant to be seen! (106 min)
