DVD Reviews of David Bowie - Serious Moonlight
DVD Review: serious moonlight tour
Summary: 5 Stars
I went to this concert in 1983 when I was 27 years old. 25 years later it lit me up again and put a big smile on my face . this is bowie at his best, and the band was smokin hot, along with guitarist earl slick! a must have for any serious bowie fan!DVD Review: great straightforward concert
Summary: 5 Stars
This how a David Bowie concert is meant to be: the songs are delivered the way they sound on record as precise and better; the musicians and singer can ad lib without being self-indulgent; and having more than 20 songs on the set within that durations gives you the concert goer your moneys worth. I have been to a Bowie concert myself and I really enjoy watching it live and this dvd shows how it really looks like live.DVD Review: GOOD CONCERT
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS CONCERT IS A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF THE 'EIGHTIES BOWIE AND I LIKE THE SONG LIST. I DON'T LIKE THIS AS MUCH AS REALITY TOUR. SERIOUS MOONLIGHT SEEMS TO FOCUS MORE ON BOWIES ACTING AND CHARACTER THAN ALL THE GREAT SONGS HE WROTE. REALITY TOURS FOCUS IS ON THE SONGS AND I FEEL THE BAND IS MUCH BETTER, HIS BEST, IN MY OPINION. HAVING SAID THAT, I,M STILL GLAD I BOUGHT IT AND IT SHOULD BE IN ANY BOWIE FANS COLLECTION.DVD Review: BOWIE'S BEST SET LIST
Summary: 4 Stars
As they say, watching this bring back a lot of memories.
This is worth getting to see the man at his commercial peak in 1983. Musically, he hadn't performed a full scale tour since 1979. Serious Moonlight was very ambitious stuff.
The fact is: this was one of Bowie's best concert line-ups ever - encapsulating an amazing 15 years of music. Never short of great backing bands - the band here is the biggest and funkiest perhaps that Bowie has ever had with 2 backing singers and a horn section.
The rehearsals of the Serious Moonlight Tour had a staggering 29 songs in the setlist - amazing when you consider Bowie had to carry each song.
My only complaint with this set is that it doesn't include the encores and has only 18 songs! And the only thing that dates the look of the show is David's poodle blond hair. A small quibble...
PS My favourite tracks are "White Light White Heat" and "Cracked Actor" - guitarist Earl Slick really shines.
DVD Review: SERIOUS MOONLIGHT

Description of David Bowie - Serious Moonlight
In a wide variety of settings David Bowie performs many of the songs which brought him international attention. In all the program consists of 19 songs which include "Space Oddity" "Young Americans" and "Station to Station."Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS Rating:?NR UPC:?094634154093 Manufacturer No:?V9DV-41540When David Bowie released Let's Dance in 1983, there were fans who felt Ziggy Stardust had sold out, but it was--of course--just another in a long line of stage personae for the Thin White Duke. Unfortunately, it wasn't his most interesting. This video, from the Vancouver stop on the Serious Moonlight tour, seems a little dull. Aside from a prop or two, some nifty costumes for his band (inspired by a Singapore street scene), and singing one song inside a tube of plastic, there's little of the visual imagination seen from Bowie in the past. On the other hand, the band is tight (although Earl Slick's I'm-a-guitar-god moves grow tiresome), the lighting is cool, and Bowie pulls out material from throughout his career (there are only three songs from his then-latest album Let's Dance). Best of all, he seems to be having fun, and without all the makeup and outrageousness, David Bowie the person comes through more. Maybe it's just another stage persona, but he seems like a pretty nice bloke. --Geof Miller
