i was actually there, just as a courtesy to someone, and bowie was great, but it was mostly a weird and not-very-enjoyable show -- for one thing, they'd had to change it from "fashion rocks" to a hurricane katrina benefit at the last minute; for another, being in the audience for one of those clusterfuck star-studded televised specials is always weird, the pacing is for the cameras not the people in the seats; and for yet another, i was sitting next to anita pallenberg. no shit. i could not believe it myself.

it was mr. bowie's first time onstage after the not-announced-as-a-heart-attack incident had put an end to the "reality" tour midway through its second european leg, and (iirc) he only agreed to do it if they also booked arcade fire, who were not then yet well known enough to be in that kind of prime-time spectacular along with gwen stefani and duran duran (reunited!) and joss stone or whoever. however, before returning for the two songs just posted, he also did "life on mars?' solo (or, to be literal about it, with mike garson).

he'd done that song with that arrangement every time i'd seen him play in the previous six or so years, which was probably six or so times, what with me being a bowie fan. he's always a showman about it, which i've always assumed was probably at least partly because it's kind of a vocal challenge for a rock star of a certain age. but this was unlike anything else i've ever seen him do live, both in terms of his very questionable singingmanship and his emotion. i couldn't tell then if he was really crying or really being the consummate performer that he is in some way that required him to appear to be crying for reasons known only to him. and i still can't.

so i'd be very interested to hear what others think.

c2w? asked:

I would vote for
really crying
Who wouldn't be brought to tears by that intro? But who knows. Wasn't he also recently a relatively new parent again, on top of his brush with mortality? Speaking anecdotally, daddyhood sure brings your emotions to the surface, so that you find yourself crying at the most unexpected times, like whenever you hear "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison or, I guess more appropriately, this (every time!!):
