DAVID BOWIE: In Japan (4CD)

We are told:

This powerful anthology starts with Bowie’s Tokyo broadcast of his 1990 Sound + Vision performance. Bowie’s 1990 Sound + Vision tour was billed as a greatest hits tour. He intended this to be a live swansong for his catalogue of old favourites, after which Bowie declared that they would disappear from his live performances.

The third disc in this set is the legendary NHK Tokyo live broadcast of the last night of The Isolar II World Tour from the NHK symphony hall in Japan on 12th December 1978. Disc 4 features the highlights from Bowie’s collaboration with Nine Inch Nails, for the 1. Outside album tour NIN opened the shows and were then joined by Bowie for a brief combined set before Bowie and his band closed the show. This show, from St Louis on 11th October 1995, was broadcast live by local FM radio.
