David Bowie — Glastonbury Festival, 2000

Why this recording

Headlining the Pyramid Stage on Sunday 25 June 2000, Bowie leads his band of the time: Earl Slick on lead guitar, Mark Plati, Gail Ann Dorsey, Sterling Campbell, Mike Garson, Holly Palmer and Emm Gryner. The show opens with "Wild Is the Wind", a cover from Station to Station, and ends not on a classic but on "I'm Afraid of Americans", a 1997 song. The full show was officially released in November 2018 as Glastonbury 2000. This unofficial upload uses the BBC footage, with a few passages cut for rights reasons.

Full live concert of David Bowie on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, on 25 June 2000, captured by the BBC. Thirty years after a first appearance at the festival in 1971, Bowie returns as headliner for what remains one of the most legendary concerts in Glastonbury history. Far from his recent experiments, the artist delivers an anthology « greatest hits » set spanning all his eras: « Life on Mars? », « Changes », « Ashes to Ashes », « Ziggy Stardust », « Under Pressure », « Heroes » and « Let’s Dance » follow one another before a vast crowd. Impeccable voice, an Alexander McQueen coat and intact charisma — Bowie gives a sovereign performance, long unreleased in full before its official broadcast. This filmed full concert is an essential document of twentieth-century rock, capturing an icon at the peak of his stagecraft. To relive for the power of the arrangements, the quality of the BBC capture and the emotion of a moment that became mythical. Filmed live concert, David Bowie’s classics in full at Glastonbury 2000.
