When the legendary David Bowie played at Madison Square Garden he was at his Thin White Duke best. The tour ultimately was documented with the great live album “Stage”.

Our seats at The world’s greatest arena were in the second part of the orchestra toward the left side and when Bowie took the stage he was everything that you could have expected from a rock star of his magnitude. The tubular fluorescent lighting was a perfect complement to the spectacle particularly to the Berlin era songs and the highly anticipated rock and roll event did not disappoint.

Bowie is the ultimate rock and roll Renaissance man. Bradley Cooper recently received accolades while starring in “The Elephant Man” on Broadway, but my future bride and I caught Mr. Jones AKA Bowie in the same role years ago and he was magnificent.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the many phases of David Bowie’s career through the years and I am still a huge fan. Bowie is a unique talent who constantly challenges his audience in all facets of music and entertainment. The recent documentary “Five Years” is a great glimpse into the artistic transmutations of a true chameleonic genius.
