Summary: Seriously Good
Review: Bowie at the peak of his mainstream popularity. The video is decent (16 years old). There is a treat here however, 5.1 channel sound! Cool. Not Bowie's best era or tour, but a worthy addition to any fan's collection. Highly recommended for fans, particularly those with 6 channel home theatre set-ups. "My mama said, to get things done, you better not mess with Major Tom."

Summary: Such an 80's extravaganza!
Review: David Bowie blows the lid off my top- especially in his capatalist, blond-ambition 80's incarnation. Long live the Bow-ster, babies.

Summary: A CONCERT DOCUMENT
Review: David Bowie's Serious Moonlight Tour was a great event in its time back in the early 80s. But this concert video is bound to (and has) drawn mixed responses. Is it an important document? Yes. Is it essential for all Bowie fans? Quite impossible to say. Bowie fans will draw their own conclusions because Bowie is never quite the same whenever we see him. What I will say is that there are some nice moments in here - and as someone pointed out, Bowie is at his most accessible. Clips from previous 70s tours show him as being relatively colder (though that represented his image at the time). The highlights of this particular show for me were "Look Back in Anger"; "Cracked Actor"; "White Light White Heat" and "Fame". "Ashes to Ashes" and "Space Oddity" aren't bad either. Bowie's slightly past his vocal peak here though. Songs like "Young Americans" get a rough treatment, so don't expect every song to sound as pristine. Do however, appreciate the moments of Bowie's theatricality and have fun. It's hard to know what to expect from a concert video sometimes, but don't expect too much and you will enjoy this.
Serious Moonlight is a lot better than Bowie's Glass Spider tour, and worth watching, even though it's less than perfect!

Summary: Poor Video
Review: Even considering the age of this recording, I can only say that the video quality is very poor. I cannot praise the sound quality either (though I have heard worse). Still, a Bowie fan will want to have this DVD.

Summary: Let's Dance!
Review: I am about as big a David Bowie fan as anybody can realistically claim to be, but even I cannot muster much enjoyment from watching this DVD. True, several of the interpretations of songs on this disc are classic and highly worth hearing. However, there is no escaping the fact that the disc started with dated media and was remastered sloppily, if at all. The video is in "soft focus" throughout (to put it charitably) and the technical sound quality low.

Summary: Underestimated
Review: If we take a look at Bowie's career so far(1964-2003), a lot of fans will say the 1969-1980 period was by far the best. It's true. But I would extend it from 1967 to 1984 (going to 1986 if we include the enjoyable Labyrinth soundtrack). According to me, The Serious Moonlight Tour was the best ever for Bowie, despite the fact that Bowie himself said its worst period was 1983-1984... Let's say he doesn't like fame, but enjoy the money !!! The interpretation of songs like «Life on mars», «Rebel Rebel», «Young Americans», «Fame», «Space Oddity» and «Cat People» are close to perfection, better than the LPS. The presentation of the songs, the crowd, the technical aspects makes this video one of the best I have ever seen. I only hope that one day, Bowie will admit that the Let's Dance period was as good artistically as the amazing Ziggy Stardust and Thin White Duke periods, completing a trilogy of eccentricity, coolness and fame...

Summary: Poor video and sound quality spoil this
Review: The Serious Moonlight Tour was a brilliant concert tour. I was at the Singapore performance and enjoyed it tremendously. However, the picture and sound quality on this disc fails to do credit to DVD technology.
