Somehow didn't put Waste on my ipod, and omgz that set sounds so good going straight to 2001. Although you don't get the epic crowd response that would have surely happened if they followed up that Bowie with 2001 instead of Waste.

The Bowie was a masterpiece, for what its worth. Whereas that DWD might have been overshadowed on a Fall Tour 97, the way the Bowie weaves in and out of the darker Bowie theme and the other theme which felt ecstatic yet tinged with melancholy.. So beautiful. Not the longest, craziest, or tightest Bowie, but there are very few versions of Bowie that manage to feel so emotional. Even better, it's a very conflicted & complicated set of emotions. Possibly the most impressed I've been with this band since the first time I heard The Nassau Tweezer and realized there was still hope. I really think this Bowie would have been extremely well received at any point in this band's career. Sometimes you just have to put aside your personal preferences and stand back in awe.
