A this and that production.
David and Reeves perform in front of a small audience in a studio and
chat some with the audience. This recording is complete except the first
few seconds of the track 1 introduction. Quality is crisp and clear.
track 4 has a bit of explanation from David how a riff he got from Jimmy
Page many years earlier helped him put both those songs together.
(yes, even David Bowie learned something from LZ's guitarist).
this was the day before the 1st of 2 shows at the Orpheum Theater in Boston,
(with his full band) and there is mention of the webcast of one of those.
It was my 1st ever attempt to see a webcasted concert, and I never got to
see more than an occasional broken apart note. live concert webcasting
was still a very primitive art in 1997 (apparently) but I later heard the
shows were very good ones. Boston has always appreciated David Bowie,
even playing a "secret gig" at Avalon (1996?) which I've never heard.
this is the 1st time this recording has been posted (September 2009).
Since it's a short set, I also included Conan O'Brien TV appearance of
April 11, 1997, which fits with this because one of many subjects of
mention in this radio show was track 10 (IAOA). The Conan appearance is
complete, lineage is the same except from TV (cable) instead of FM radio.

Do not sell this recording.
