A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Little Wonder, Space Oddity, Cat People, TVC15, Young Americans, Station To Station, The Jean Genie, Thursday's Child, Diamond Dogs, Suffragette City, Blue Jean, Golden Years, Rock And Roll Suicide, Absolute Beginners, Drive-In Saturday, 1984, Moonage Daydream, Dead Man Walking, Prettiest Star, Scary Monsters, Let's Dance, The Laughing Gnome (heh)... None of them are on here, more's the pity. Still, it's churlish to quibble with this nonetheless wide-ranging selection of Bowie classics and oddments,performed by a fine band crucially including keyboard maestro Mike Garson and indispensable bass player/vocalist Gail Ann Dorsey, along with 'Station To Station'-era veteran Earl Slick. The lack of extras whips a couple of stars off the total, but the music is the important part, and even the most ardent Bowie fan will be pleasantly surprised by an almost-R'n'B (in the 1960s sense) "Heroes", a gorgeously skeletal 'Life On Mars', a daring rearrangement of 'Rebel Rebel', the darker, more cynical-sounding incarnation of 'Fame', and so on. Buy it, you'll like it.

This DVD is amazing for Bowie fans. He is amazingly still very much on top of his game with this performance. The sound and video quality are amazing, on my modest home theatre setup anyway. The features aren't exactly the greatest. There's a clumsy jukebox function that I gave up on, I would just use the jump forward control on the DVD player or possibly program the sequence if your player does that. Most of the new stuff is great and he performs the old numbers in a way that gives you goosebumps. The duet with his guitarist/backup singer on Under Pressure is amazing and his vocals on older songs like Fantastic Voyage have made me look back at some of his older stuff I'd forgotten. The best tracks on this DVD are Under Pressure, Fantastic Voyage, and Never Get Old, in my opinion, but the whole disc rocks. I got mine at Target for just $9.99, worth checking out.

Bowie wanders seamlessly through thirty years of songs, from Rebel Rebel to his new album and songs such as "New Killer Star" and the title track "Reality." It really showcases his talent, and the incredible, elaborate performances of his musicians, Earl Slick and Gail Ann Dorsey, among others. Without kimonos or clown suits or red gogo boots, the Thin White Duke delivers a show in Dublin as powerful as "the Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust." Rather than donning classic gear and milking his countless images, like Kiss or Michael Jackson, Bowie soars above all superstars in pair of black jeans and converse. His radiant smile during "All the Young Dudes," or sly wink during "Changes" commands attention, and his voice has grown stronger through the years. When he hits the final note in Ziggy Stardust, it soars over the entire crowd. A Reality Tour is an introspective look at a career that spawns and morphs and changes and improves at every turn. One hell of a concert, not one to miss. Buy it!
