as a huge fan, i rented this purely to watch David Bowie's performance. To see Bowie sitting cross-legged at the front of the stage with only a tiny keyboard (playing a simple beat) for backing, singing 'They've all come to see America' was astounding. The effect was extremely dramatic. No band, just one spot light, and that amazing, beautiful voice. Very moving. Afterwards you could swear that you had heard music but the only melody came from Bowie's voice. He also did a performance of Heroes which was dedicated to his 'local ladder'. very enjoyable. There were other acts and i have to say the set performed by The Who was also brilliant. A live show for New Yorkers but it was the Brits who made the show special. If you like Bowie or The Who, go for it!!
