Anybody who knows me knows I have been and always will be a dyed in the wool hardcore David Bowie fan. I've been looking for my live DVD that this clip comes from for awhile, but it looks like it was a casualty of my last move (which sucks). This is an acoustic version of Loving the Alien, where Bowie basically just up and drops some serious science in one of those "makes your hairs stand up on end" type performances. This is science U2 has been trying to drop on you with the various ways they've tried to arrange One, but well, he's David fucking Bowie and you aren't Bono. Gonna hafta live with that...

Yeah I remember when you started in on Bowie back around 1998. Figured it was a phase. Guess not.

What I want to know is, who's the pregnant chick floating above the crowd in one single scene from 0:47 to 0:52.

Unless you're confusing that with Bowie, they put these weird wire mesh things on the wings of the stage for that tour. It sort of ties in with the album art. Didn't really look right, but whateva

Can't be Bowie. I considered that, given that the guitarist is some distance behind him. But the stage is flat, and in that one scene the pregnant girl seems raised some distance above the stage. And, unless I can't judge distance, far enough out to be above the crowd. If it were a special effect, one would think it would have been given more emphasis to show it off.
