I agree that he sort of went out of style, but if he were announce a tour right now, he could easily sell out MSG, etc, the big arenas in a second. The only problem I see with him is time. The longer he waits, the less likely it becomes. With his type of show/music, I'm guessing it requires a lot of energy and planning. I bet he still has it in him, at least for one more go around, and I really don't know whats stopping him. To my knowledge his health isn't really that bad, and I know he quit before to be around his family more which is all he's been doing for close to 10 years. A year away wouldn't kill him.Quote

Not very active at all. Few guest appearances, in New York. Sorely missed. He went out in style, his last few albums were very good, and the 03-04 was one of his best.

I was just listening to the Nassau Coliseum show in NY from March 23, 1976. I was at the Buffalo show in March 19, 1976.

What health condition?
His best live album IMO, I think It slipped under many peoples radar because it wasn't released separately.Quote

He released last year an expanded deluxe edition of Station To Station which has the full 1976 Nassau show.

RF, the expression "to go out in style" doesn't mean the same as "to go out of style".
It means he went out on a high note. So you could also say his last projects showed a lot of class, poise, elegance, and seemed to fit his image.

That must have been a scene. Did you live out near Buffalo at that time?

David Bowie. A great artist! I kind of lost track after 1983 or so.

I like the story concept in this vastly underrated album:
It's atmospheric, weird and wonderful.
Bowie and Eno... magic.
But my favourite (today anyway), is Heroes.
They all nearly all great though.

Wow! Completely my fault! I totally misread bigbang's message. Yes, I totally agree that he went out IN style. His last few albums, especially Hours, I thought were fantastic. In my post, I was just saying how I could see how some thought he wasn't as relevant anymore, but it turns out that was an unprovoked thought. I apologize for the mistake in my reading lol.Quote
