We had excellent seats right upfront and were very excited to see the show as longtime David Bowie
fans. I do not like giving bad reviews but I must be honest here. It wasn't good at all. We thought it was going to be more of a retrospective honoring David Bowie's life and art, breaking ground and the artistic evolution of the man himself, it was NONE of those things. You'd think being that it was Bowie that we're talking about, that it would be a very well rehearsed, cutting edge, upscale and well done event. NO! It was like watching a older bar band imitating his voice on a brightly lit high school like stage. A blank empty stage with no stage arrangement, no backdrop, no lighting, no video, photo or anything to do with Bowie. They didn't play anything from Bowie's greatest achievements, they spoke not of him but of themselves and nothing honoring or about David Bowie or his life. It felt unauthorized. When they played Lazarus, it was very fast, noisy and loud, with no feeling of the lyrics or of a man dying and singing us his last effort! They raced through it with absolutely no emotion. It was terrible, like a bar copy band. They avoided playing songs from Station to Station or any of his deeper ballads or any of his key funk songs or instrumentals, just extremely loud early radio rock songs that weren't authentically played but instead very messy. None of it jived as a unit. It seemed unrehearsed and it was sloppy. It was NOTHING like the man himself a cool, jazzy, sharp, crisp and well rehearsed funky cutting edge Bowie environment. Just an old brightly lit stage with nothing on it but instruments. It felt like a sad mish-mosh, not authentic and not honoring David Bowie's legacy in any way. Really just like a copy bar band. Not a photo's, decor or video of Bowie, no memories to share other than their own. We got the impression that it was not something his estate approved of at all and they were just winging it and couldn't use any memorabilia. But they could have had the decency to prepare a proper stage, lighting and speak about the man and his life!
