nice article. i agree, but i would say if you're going to mention any 3.0 version of Bowie as something worth talking about, it has to be the 6/3/11 Clarkston Bowie. This version has no equal since the comeback. It hits that, "what song are they playing" mode, while not a particularly frenetic or evil escapade into the unknown, it does leave the structure, somewhat. regardless, i love this Bowie.

i'd also throw in the Vegas '03 Bowie> Catapult opener. but i agree, Bowie has never been the same since '95.

i think the biggest downer is Stash. WTF? and Melt has been formulaic throughout 3.0. even the recent praised SF version to me isn't the return of my favorite song.
