Right away this CD/DVD set loses two stars because of two words Peter Frampton. Peter Frampton plays guitar throughout the CD/DVD set and is constantly mugging for the camera. Simply put Framptons' guitar playing is not laid back at all, it is outdated and rocks in a nails on chalkboard kind of way. Now, for the flip side of this review...the guest list. Bowie is joined by five incredible dancers. One dancer clearly steals the show. The dancers' name is Craig Allen Rothwell AKA Spazz Attack. Spazz Attack comes out in a mummified getup on crutches and simply just has to be seen. I can't say enough good things about this Spazz Attack. This is the same dancer in an orange toxic suit from David Bowie's "Time Will Crawl" video. Since, Spazz Attack seems to have left his showbiz career in the 80's, this DVD serves as both an excellent document to Toni Basil's and David Bowie's over the top Glass Spider stage production and the dance craze of Spazz Attack. Even for the George Lopez show fans, Constance Marie is one of the dancers and is pretty cute. Hence, the highlights... I was intrigued to purchase the DVD/CD because of the set list which covers Thin White Duke era, Berlin era, and Scary Monsters era Bowie but,...again Peter Frampton populates each song with an overbundance of trashy guitar and is constantly grinning in a "Can you believe how good I am at guitar?!" kind of way. Regardless, Spazz Attack, Constance Marie, and David Bowie make it worth purchasing. Honestly, for a couple dollars more the CD/DVD edition is the way to go because it has songs not on the DVD and if you knock out your left speaker you don't have to hear Peter Frampton's dreadful guitar licks. |
