David Bowie:Origins of a Starman

Rating:
Summary: Unauthorized and unwatchable
Review: First of all, let me day that I am a huge fan of David Bowie's. I own all of his CDs, have seen him in concert six times, and have followed his career for thirty years. This DVD is a rip off. It consists primarily of middle-aged people who knew Bowie way back when reminiscing. No music of David Bowie's is featured in this release. No concert footage is featured on this DVD. What you will see are old school chums talking about David trying to get everyone to play baseball with equipment provided by the American Embassy.

The only material of interest is in the interview footage of John "Hutch" Hutchinson, who performed with Bowie before and during the Spider from Mars's era. Other than Hutch, there's nothing positive to be said about this release, it is poorly produced, and extremely overpriced.
