Looking forward to tonight 10:55 BBC4:
Bowie at Glastonbury 2000
https://www.radiotimes.com/tv-progra...stonbury-2000/
"Highlights of the singer's headline set on the Pyramid Stage, which closed the festival on Sunday 25 June 2000 and has gone down in history as one of his finest performances. At Bowie's request, only around half an hour of the concert was broadcast live on TV, so this is the first time classics from the set including Ashes to Ashes, Starman and Let's Dance have been shown."

"On Sunday 25 June 2000, David Bowie closed Glastonbury with a two-hour performance. Only half an hour or so of that stunning set was broadcast on BBC television that night at Bowie's insistence. At the time, the BBC were heavily criticised for coming off Bowie after broadcasting the first five songs of the set live and only returning for a couple of encore songs at the end of the show. Fortunately the cameras kept rolling and captured the whole set.
This programme features an hour of highlights from that performance, including such previously unbroadcast hits as Ashes to Ashes, Starman and Let's Dance. Bowie was returning to the festival for the first time since 1971. His star was not in the ascendant after the Tin Machine era and such 90s solo albums as Outside, Earthling and Hours. But from the moment he walked out on the Pyramid Stage, resplendent in an Alexander McQueen frock coat with his hair in Hunky Dory mode, and launched into Wild is the Wind, it was clear that he had decided to embrace and fully restate both his catalogue and his legend. Arguably it was Bowie's greatest live performance since the 70s."

So set up the recording for this gem. ♫
