VH1...August 1999...back when they played music. David Bowie was guest on VH1 Storytellers, turning in a show that covered material from his entire career.
That appearance is coming to CD/DVD and digital audio on July 14 via Virgin/EMI. Featured are the eight songs from the original broadcast plus video of four additional numbers that were recorded during the session but never shown. Audio of those four performances will also be available via the digital release.
Storytellers Executive Producer Bill Flanagan says in the liner notes "We were used to dealing with legendary musicians. 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.
"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."
