Summary: Private Bowie Photo Journal
Review: I feel like I'm viewing Bowie's own private memories of this tour.
There isn't hardly any text, just Bowie's own introduction, and the
rest are beautiful photos. It's obvious that Bowie gave his seal of approval by writing the foreword, and then you are just left alone to enjoy the art. I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I bought this book, but it has become one of my favorite photo books I own.

Summary: A Piece of Bowie Heaven!
Review: I got into Bowie when all my favorite bands were claiming him as an inspiration. I Figured I should find out why. I now get the Bowie that all my friends talked about for years. Everytime he released a new album, they bought it the first day out. Which is what I do now.
I wouldn't have been able to appreciate this book 2 years ago to it's fulliest. I would have been in awe of the photographs beauty, but not the Bowie part of it. Now I get Bowie and now I know how special this insiders look into this music God is. The images are superb. And to take it one step further, they are superb images of BOWIE! The only text in this book is Bowie's own foreword, the images speak for themselves. It's Bowie as this new fan craved to see.

Summary: Pics are great, text is sorely lacking
Review: I was VERY disappointed by this book. Yes, the pics are great, but it would've been nice to have some text to go along with them (i.e. background stories, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, interviews...)!

Summary: BEST ROCK BOOK EVER
Review: I wrote a review for the amazon UK site, not sure if it tranfers over to this one. I love this book. The photographs are beautiful,
all black and white, all stunning. It's Bowie like I've never seen him before and I've been a fan for a very long long time.
It's not just a great photography art book. It's not just a great David Bowie book, it's both. I just bought this book for my friend's birthday and they loved it.

Summary: The Art of Rock Photography
Review: In October 2002, David Bowie commenced his now famous New York City Marathon Tour, whereby Bowie played five shows in the five New York boroughs on five nights. This was one of the most personal, intimate tours Bowie ever launched and to commemorate it he chose acclaimed entertainment photographer Myriam Santos-Kayda to shoot the tour - onstage, backstage, with his band and by himself. The result is the fabulous collaboration, David Bowie: Live In New York. In addition to opening every aspect of the shows to Santos-Kayda's lens, Bowie wrote a very personal foreword for the book which sets the tone for the photographic collection to follow.While other books may be called "definitive David Bowie encyclopedias", Santos-Kayda has captured what will surely be considered a definitive David Bowie photographic series. For those Bowie fans who could not attend the New York City Marathon gigs, this book will give them an inside view from a gifted photographer and a Bowie fan herself- which adds another dimension to this gorgeous series of black and white photographs. The collection shows the wit and intelligence of one of rock's most enigmatic legends. So much has been said about David Bowie and the vast body of work that spans his thirty plus year career. However, rarely has anyone gotten so close to Bowie in the midst of such an energetic atmosphere and revealed the man (and his band) at the height of the creative process. Intimate while never intrusive or contrived, this book should be on the shelf of any self-respecting David Bowie fan. And for those interested in the art of taking pictures, this collection is a handbook on black and white photography in a rock and roll environment. David Bowie: Live in New York by Myriam Santos-Kayda with a Foreword by David Bowie is an influential study that will be a hallmark for future artists and photographers.

Summary: A different side of Bowie
Review: Santos-Kayda does a fantastic job presenting an intimate behind-the-scenes journal of a small intimate tour by a HUGE star. It is not often that an entertainer of Bowie's stature does a tour of such small venues, and it's great to have this record of the events. The action pictures seem to move and the backstage pix are so inviting you almost feel you are present for the goings-on. I have many photo books of art and journalism and rock music; but, this one might be the best I've ever bought. No library of rock history could be complete without it. A great record of a unique tour.
