More of the "same", I suppose. I found it engrossing.
Last quarter...

The arrangements were gorgeous (Moonage Daydream far superior to studio), the cover photo offended my dad, the suit was to the ultimate detriment of my sartorial sensibilities, but let that rest.
I think the live 8 minute "Sweet Thing" suite is possibly my favourite 8 minutes of Bowie.

Yes, the studio version pales by comparison. In fact David Live probably spoilt me for Diamond Dogs, which I have probably listened through entirely four times at most.

I have a soundboard from that 1974 tour. I could upload one for you.

Here is a great Bowie fanblog. http://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/ Apologies if it was, in fact, you who tipped me off on it!
