yorks5stringer Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 A little while ago I bought a ticket to see renowned Bassist and Producer Tony Visconti play on "The Man Who Sold the World" Live Tour at Bournemouth 02 Academy. Thought I'd be re-acquaint myself with the album as I lent it to someone 20? years ago and have not seen or heard it since. Just had a listen on YouTube and it's interesting! Had a slight panic when I realised the track listings were only 40 minutes but apparently they do a second set of Bowie favourites too . Band includes Glenn Gregory and Woody Woodmansey I shall be wallowing in nostalgia having seen Bowie twice on his Ziggy Stardust Tour back in 1972? at Newcastle City Hall and Sunderland Mecca Club I remembered quite few of the tracks on MWSTW and that I had a US Import Copy of the LP with those thick cardboard sleeves. Visconti will be playing a short scale Gibson EB3 or EBO I think so that should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmonkey Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I saw em last year in Sheffield. Really good. Especially the non MWSTW set. All old classic Bowie. You're in for a treat. Still may go to the leeds gig. Marc Almond joining em apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveK Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Had the seriously good fortune of spending a few weeks recording an album with Tony Visconti in the early 80s at Good Earth in Dean Street. To say it was an education would be an under statement. A great man, and a great record producer.

Bassmonkey Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Glenn was the singer in Heaven 17. Can defo sing. Doesn't try and sound like Bowie which could have been hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
