Area2
Just came back from Area2—got to see David Bowie and Moby. Bowie is one of my favorite musicians, and he put on an amazing show. It featured quite a few oldies, including Ziggy Stardust, one of my favorite Bowie tunes. He also sang about half of the songs on Heathen, although he didn’t do Slow Burn which is (IMHO) the best track on the album.
The Moby set was OK. I love Moby’s albums, but his particular brand of tecno-gospel does not translate well to a live show. The man compensates for the lack of real instrumentation by running around the stage like a maniac for no apparent reason. The music is also a lot more aggressive than on the albums, with tons of distorted guitar—which I found to be an unwelcome addition to most of the songs.
