David Bowie - The Best Of Bowie Reviews

Bowie Easter Eggs

'Day-In-Day-Out' Remix

The 'Day-in-Day-Out Remix' appears every second time you select 'Day-In-Day-Out' from the track listing menu.

'Miracle Goodnight' Video

Go to the track listing display on disc two. Leave the player alone for five minutes, and the video for 'Miracle Goodnight' is yours!

Alternate Take

On disc one, program your remote to Title 2, Chapter 1 to see an alternate take of 'Oh, You Pretty Things' where Bowie edits out the 'Earth is a B**ch' line and almost starts laughing. This was take two of the song and has never been broadcast.

Bonus Interview Clip

On the track listing menu, move to [Drive In Saturday] and press [Righ, then [Enter]. A brief interview clip from the same show as the performance is then yours.

Hidden MTV Video for 'Blue Jean'

During the hidden 'Jazzin For Blue Jean' video, when Bowie's love interest selects a video from the pub jukebox and Bowie appears on the tv screen, press [Enter] and the MTV video for 'Blue Jean' will be yours!

Live 'Survive' Video

Select play all from the [Main Menu] on disc two, then fast forward through every track at the highest speed your dvd player can handle, including the video to 'Survive'.

When the [Main Menu] loads up again, select play all. The title the disc selects should be Title 02 instead of Title 01 now. Fast forward through all the videos up to 'Thursday's Child'. Slow down here, because directly after this, the live video for 'Survive' is yours to enjoy!

Mandarin Version of 'Seven Years in Tibet'

At the title screen for the track, there is a mandarin subtitle at the bottom of the screen. When this is on the screen, press [Enter] to get the Mandarin version of 'Seven Years in Tibet'.

Ziggy Movie Ad

On the track listing menu, move to [Ziggy Stardus and press [Righ, then [Enter]. A page advertising the Ziggy movie dvd appears

A huge collection of some of the best music videos - ever

I've had this DVD for months and I'm still 'getting' into it. Bowie was producing music long before I was born, so this 2 disc DVD set is a concentrated cross section of decades of pop videos. The visual innovation from start to finish is incomparable, and his outfits (mostly Yohji Yamamoto for fans of Japanese fashion) were outragous then, and are outrageous now.

The DVD is full of 'Easter Eggs' or hidden features including 3 versions of some of the videos, so if you decide to rent this (you really must!) I reccomend you do a search on the net for where all the hidden extras are. If you've never really heard Bowie before, try it. It's good enough just to look at.

Stick to Disc 1.

I don't know why but this disc arrived before disc 1. I was hoping they'd arrive together. I didn't really know what was on it, but it's got the tail end of the 80's Bowie (eeewww!!).

If you can sit through "Absolute Beginners", "Time Will Crawl" and "Never Let Me Down" without cringing, you'll do a good job! But the treats on the disc (and there are some, thank God) are: "Hearts Filthy Lesson", "Strangers When We Meet", "Little Wonder", "Seven Years In Tibet" and the fabulous "I'm Afriad Of Americans". There are some Easter Eggs included on the disc too...A dance re-mix of "Day-In Day-Out", a remix of "Miracle Goodnight", the Madarin version of "Seven Years In Tibet" and a live version of "Survive" (but you'll have to find them for yourself).

Bowies Best

Best of Bowie, 2 disc 47 tracks ranging form a 1972 appearance on BBC 2, The Old Grey Whistle Test. Upto 1999. A great feature of these disc's is, you can pick a track, play it and at the end of the track the disc goes back to the main menu.

A must for bowie fans.

Regards, Cedric.

Bowie through the years

If you want to see Bowie through the years then this is the DVD for you. As a 'fan' of Bowie music I found the visuals distracting!

Not what I expected

I was disappointed with this one and have cancelled the second disk.

I know that some of the songs have been around for a while but theycould have done somethinng to make it worth putting them together on a dvd.

The sound and videos were very poor quality.

I've seen better on VHS.

calling all Bowie Fans

If you like Bowie and enjoy the videos from early years to date, then this is for you. Just to watch them again made me go out and buy this dvd

DVD 1 Yes 4 stars, DVD 2 No 1 star

A mixed offering here. DVD 1 has all my favourite hits just as I remember listening to them on the radio. Alas DVD 2 had only one track I liked and was newer (80s on) less well known stuff.

Perhaps the good website people could help by putting individual track listings on their website for each DVD (I forgot to note them down before sending back)?

A real trip down memory lane which includes a previously unseen track (for me anyway) from Dutch TV (Rebel Rebel).

not a bad bowie dvd but i have seen better could have put a bit more into it ..............
