Greetings,
Rebel Rebel, hey? I wonder if there's a Bowie tribute album in the wings, following on from the Noel Coward one back in the day.

Looks like Neil guested on Getting away with it also

Son of a bitch… this is all i wanted for the NO shows in the US last year but everyone said it was impossible. L-O-effing-L.
I sincerely *love* Disco 2 and listen to it straight through regularly.

That puts to bed Neil's so called voice problems, he sounds amazing

Agreed! … still hitting those higher notes and he’s moving around the stage like an absolute boss
Would love to hear a full version of Getting away with it …. I’m sure it will be posted by someone on YouTube soon.

Thanks for posting!
Didn’t work as well as I would have expected … the Bowie cover sounded great through

Thanks for posting. Love the guitar arrangement of GAWI. Neil sounded good in Rebel Rebel.

Lovely to see what Neil gets up to of a Friday night.
He looks marvelous, by the way, giving the impression of a man content with his world. Johnny is rocking those songs. Tremendous.

Rebel Rebel is amazing. Why the hell didn’t the boys cover this for R2? Way better than the car crash cover they did. Chris could’ve turned this into a right electro stomper.
