Arrangements For Solo Acoustic Guitar DVD

Advantages: A great selection of sound and vision.
Disadvantages: Not enough.

...a distinct break, Ronsons guitar predominates with short solos throughout, he and bowie duet and dance around the microphones the action then moves back to the changing room. Bowie changes into a stripped suit and the film captures him walking back to the stage for the end of Moonage Daydream. Changes follows for a few verse with Bowie playing acoustic guitar ending with a long saxophone solo flowing gently into A Space Oddity. The camera focuses on a spinning globe attached to the ceiling highlighted by a spotlight the audience highlighted by the reflection. My Death an interesting tune written by Eric Bue is a wonderfully morbid tune about death behind a door "Angel or Devil I don't care".

"She's on fire doesn’t disappoint with an excellent mix of guitars and drums that starts the album with a bang. An excellent track to start off an album with and brilliantly performed live as well. “I am” is a tune from the first Train album. It’s also one of my favourites from this album as it gently brings in other instruments and some brilliant arrangements. An excellently written set of lyrics once again brilliantly performed...
