Two songs from the live set are omitted from this release: "Life On Mars?" which opened the show and "Rebel Rebel" which was performed after "Changes".
Not only is this a nice sounding recording but it has an interesting set list. As Bowie himself jokes there are a few songs that haven't been played in a while. It's nice to see Page Hamilton get the guitar nod from Bowie. Bowie has had some greats on stage & record with him including: Mick Ronson, Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Adrian Belew, & Reeves Gabrels. I am a fan of Helmet and think Page Hamilton is a very good guitar player. You will not be disappointed if you download this one for your collection, trust me.
