Vinyl 2LP-Set includes David Bowie's Complete Televised 1999 Appearance Plus Four Bonus Performances from the Taping!

On August 23, 1999, David Bowie played an intimate set for invited guests at The Manhattan Center's Grand Ballroom in New York for the VH1 Storytellers series. The Bowie set has long been regarded as one of the most memorable episodes in VH1 Storytellers history, with Bowie delving deep in to his catalogue to perform tracks such as "Can't Help Thinking About Me" for the first time in over 33 years, Aladdin Sane's "Drive-In Saturday" which he had not performed since 1974 and "Word On A Wing" which received its first outing in 23 years. Also appearing here are "Life on Mars?," "Rebel Rebel," "Thursday's Child," "China Girl," "Seven," "Survive," "I Can't Read," "Always Crashing In The Same Car" and "If I'm Dreaming My Life."

"We were used to dealing with legendary musicians," says VH1 Storytellers Executive Producer, Bill Flanagan. "Still, landing David Bowie was more than a big booking. There's no way to say this without being corny: it was an honor. Bowie has a unique place in rock & roll. He is not only one of the most influential musicians of the era, he does nothing unless he is fully committed. He never phones it in."

Flanagan continues, "Bowie's ‘Storytellers' was a unique theatrical event, a sort of off-Broadway ‘Evening with the Artist' in which a great songwriter used bits and pieces from his life and career to show us all the roads leading up to a single moment, a complement to his current album but also a performance strong enough to stand on its own: a compelling introduction to David Bowie for the uninitiated and a fresh experience for the long time fan."
