The event was scheduled before his death, and the approximately 3,000,000 tickets sold out in two hours, but of course the tribute show The Music Of David Bowie gained new contours after the death of the musician and singer in January, generating from there an unusual interest.
the night of Thursday, on the stage of Carnegie Hall in New York, was memories with numerous musicians and singers and pay homage to the legacy of David Bowie, with the most diverse versions. Michael Stipe (REM) sang Ashes to ashes Karen Elson, the Flaming Lips re-created Life on Mars and Debbie Harry (Blondie) gave the Starman . The show began with the iconic producer of Bowie, Tony Visconti, alongside Cindy Lauper, who sang Suffragette City . The Pixies, Laurie Anderson, Cat Power, Rickie Lee Jones, Sean Lennon and Jakob Dylan were some of the other names that have passed through the stage.
This Friday night tribute continues, this time at Radio City Music Hall, with repeating the first night and some news in a necessarily eclectic alignment, which will review their classics. Cat Power, Ann Wilson (Heart), Perry Farrell, Jakob Dylan, Polyphonic Spree, Michael Stipe, Pixies, Flaming Lips, Amanda Palmer, Anna Calvi, Kronos Quartet, Tony Visconti, Mumford & amp; Sons, Miley Cyrus, J Mascis, Sean Lennon, Esperanza Spalding or Rickie Lee Jones, solo or in collaboration arrangements, are some figures that will evolve.
The event from Radio City Music Hall may be accompanied live via Skype, through the official website of the event (http://musicofdavidbowie.com/), with a minimum contribution of $ 5 suggested.
The Roots, who were part of the alignment, eventually not appear after a problem with sharing equipment with another group, Australians Holy Holy. The controversy was settled when the Roots through Questlove drummer, they told the social networks that had no patience for “prima donnas”, coming after a statement from event organization to clarify that have been a miscommunication regarding the shared use of a battery.
