David Bowie’s team will launch a new live streaming series with a May 15 digital debut of a rare album, “LiveAndWell.com.”
Previously only available in limited quantities to BowieNet subscribers in 2000, the project presents material from the singer’s 1997 tour in support of his album, “Earthling”, and includes songs from that record and 1995’s “Outside.”
Recorded in New York, Amsterdam, Rio De Janeiro and at the UK’s Phoenix festival, “LiveAndWell.com” has been expanded for the digital edition with two bonus tracks: “Pallas Athena” and “V-2 Schneider” – both were released as a 12” single under the name The Tao Jones Index, which was the name Bowie and his band used when they played unannounced special sets in dance tents at festivals.
“LiveAndWell.com” is being previewed with a performance of “Little Wonder” from an October 1997 show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.
Bowie’s 20th studio record, “Earthling” was a Top 20 record in several countries; the set received two nominations for the 1998 Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Music Performance for the album, and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for the single, "Dead Man Walking."
In the coming months, Bowie will stream two more live releases from the 90’s that will be available digitally, as well.
