DAVID BOWIE
BOWIE IN THE 70'S

It wasn’t until the release of 1983’s Let’s Dance that David Bowie achieved the type of enormous, global success he had so sorely deserved for so very long. But, ironically, for most of his fans, by that juncture he had already produced the best music he was ever going to make. So while there were still delights to come, as Bowie toured the world playing to more people over one tour than he had in his entire career to that point, his legacy was assured by records he released during the previous decade – and each concert he now performed would be dominated with songs from that golden era. This 2 DVD set is a documentary review concentrating on David Bowie in the 1970’s – the decade in which he not only made his name but in which he dominated the music scene like no other musical icon before or since. Running at over 2.5 hours, this programme looks at his pre-fame era, his early low-selling albums, his glam period when the world sat up and took notice and his constant rejuvenation throughout the decade when every few weeks it seemed this bizarre creature would adopt a brand new persona.
