Really? I think all tracks on that album sound better in their studio versions. Therefore not a great live album.
Well who is qualified to make that determination? It's obvious that GravityBoy was using hyperbole to express his enthusiasm, lighten up a bit stonesrule.
I'm serious.
It's a magnicient live album.
I would agree with your comment about the Ziggy Startdust pieces (4 tracks out of 20)... but the Station to Station, Low, Heroes stuff is truely great.
The band (Alomar/Murray/Davis) are playing their own stuff.
Great innovative artist. I have not one bad word to say about him (except maybe for some questionable sartorial choices, LOL). But to pick one artist as "greatest". Come on, really?
Post of the month!
They said that about Van Gough once.
Well, if it makes you happy he's a better artist than:
Mozart, Botticelli, Da Vinci, Rodin, Gaudi, Donatello, Michel Angelo, Beethoven, Van Eyck, Van Gogh, Velazquez, Picasso, Giotto, Bach, Verdi, Vivaldi, De La Croix, Goya, Rembrandt, Renoir, Manet, Monet, Lloyd Wright, Cervantes, Shakespere, Victor Hugo, and on and on....
Talk about your favorite band.

GravityBoy, reading all your posts here..I don't think anyone is going to have the heart to argue with you. You sound like a man blissfully in love, I am very happy for you.

I'm happily married with 2 kids.
I do love Bowie though.
And beer.
Probably in that order.

I also love the Stones.
So we know.
But Bowie is head and the Stones are heart and balls.

I am seriously arguing that this is the greatest live album of all time.
(The remastered Visconti version).

Glad Gravity Boy takes pleasure in worshiping David Bowie.
HOWEVER, I doubt his credentials and knowledge when it comes to identifying the "Greatest Artist of All Time."

Bowie.....an overrated artist. I saw him back in 1984 and 1987 in Berlin and as amtter of fact no live highlights at all! He has never been a great live performer in my eyes. It was much more the package he delivered, music, make up, fashion.

Gravityboy, I applaud you 
for the record, definition of applaud I mean...
..... Show approval or praise by clapping: "the crowd whistled and applauded"; "his speech was loudly applauded".
..... Show strong approval of (a person or action); praise: "Jill applauded the decision".

I'm using "artist" in a very broad sense.
Mick was never an "artist" in a broad sense.
David Bowie will go down as the Pablo Picasso of music.
I'm reading "Bowie in Berlin"... god.. what an incredible three years.
If I had a time machine it would be either 33BC in Jersualem or the Hansa studio in 1978.

I go with Renoir, with Monet a close second....Bowie finishes a distant 3rd.
Though music is art! Going to a local festival called MUSIC IS ART that is run by Robbie Takac, bassist of the Goo Goo Dolls. 12 hours, 100 bands, loads of DJs, performance artists as well as painting and sculpture in the mix...Saturday Sept 15 in Buffalo....and free. I was there last year and it was amazing. Short sets and everything from Gospel to Punk to Goth to Dance. Not all great, but most of it is art.

Can't see this at all..not as a composer, lyricist, singer, musician, or performer. I don't own a single album by Bowie.

Love Bowie, listen to his music regularly and seen him live plenty of times and yes I think he's a great artist, but the Greatest, I don't think he's even on the top 100.

The Greatest Artist of All Time,
Some of you already mentioned Vincent Van Gogh,
Vincent Van Gogh is the Greatest Artist All Time!!
For Vincent there was however no Podium, no Audience and no Honour in those Days.
Tormented in his life and just his Brother Theo and some Admirers to support Vincent He was still able to create Artworks of a Genius.
Nowadays About 1.6 million people visit The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam a Year.
