To begin with, this index is by no means meant to cover all live, radio and TV performances by Bowie. As always, it only covers what happens to be in my collection!
Not covered are studio recordings proper, demos, studio jam sessions or impromptu performances not meant to be made available to a wider public, soundtrack recordings for TV shows that were basically non-musical (such as Baal or The Looking Glass Murders), and rehearsals (unless they were recorded for radio broadcast). I have included soundcheck recordings, though (there weren't many of them, anyway).
The index doesn't include references to each and every issue of a record. I usually included only links to the first issue in my collection. Alternative issues and re-releases are referred to only if the contents, the title, the sound quality or the format (CD/vinyl) has changed. I also considered only audio-only releases, disregarding DVDs.
In many cases, the records are put in brackets:
In the case of a full live show this means that only a small part of the performance is covered (say, less than eight to ten songs).
In the case of a radio session it means that the session is incomplete, that is, that not all of the songs (or all of the songs that are known to have survived) are included.
And in the case of a TV performance it again means that not all songs originally performed are included.
After all, I don't want to define die-hard criteria for these brackets here. They are only meant to give a rough orientation. In case of doubt, click on the link and see what's on the record!
I have also added stars to some of the records. If there are several competing releases covering the same performance, the stars indicate the records that are the best from my strictly subjective (!) point of view (in terms of completeness and/or sound quality). If there are roughly equivalent CD/vinyl version, I have marked both.
And, finally, I have added stars to releases which I simply consider to be outstanding (again, in terms of completeness and/or sound quality, and from a strictly subjective point of view). For the records marked with stars I have added notes to explain my choice. Click on the small number to jump to the explanation.

Notes: |
1Needless to say that the official CD release of the (complete) session has the best sound quality, but if you are after a good vinyl version, then the Tripper to the Last LP is a good alternative. 2The Conversation Piece set is the only recording in my collection that has the session in its entirety and great sound quality. 3The official CD release is far superior to all previously released bootleg vinyl and CD releases. 4The official CD release on The Width of a Circle is the best, but the vinyl version on God's a Young Man Too is in similar quality. 5Contrary to what you would expect, the track has a better sound quality on the picture disc (both versions) than on the black vinyl bootleg. 6Again, the version of the official CD set is the best, but the vinyl version on God's a Young Man Too is also very good. 7Another one for which the official CD set is the best, but the vinyl version on It's the Freakiest Show is a good alternative. 8Most of the recording on Divine Symmetry is taken from a high-quality soundboard tape, so it's superior to the earlier bootleg release. 9The recordings from this session have only survived as an off-air recording. Interestingly, the version on It's the Freakiest Show has a better sound than that on the official CD set. 10The entire session was released on Bowie at the Beep. In case of doubt, I would always go for the EMI releases, since the Parlophone releases tend towards a dull, bass-heavy sound. 11The official release has the best sound quality. 12The Kingston Polytechnic show has a kind of legendary status because it was the first complete 1972 concert that was released after the famous Santa Monica show. However, I wouldn't really recommend it, since the sound quality is quite poor. Be that as it may, the original bootlegs have a better sound than the 2022 re-issue! 14The official release of the Santa Monica show is the best, but it is remarkable that the difference between this release and the earliest bootlegs in my collection (such as Recorded October 20...) isn't that big. 15The Full American Bowie bootleg is the most complete version. 16The 50th Anniversay Edition finally included The Jean Genie/Love Me Do and Round and Round, thus covering the entire show. 17The vinyl issue of the album is the best version of the 1980 Floor Show in my collection. Note that this is not true for the CD counterpart, which is different! 18The 2005 CD version of David Live and its later vinyl counterpart are the most complete example of a show from the first leg of of the Diamond Dogs tour. 19A fantastic release that shows how the Diamond Dogs tour morphed into the Phillydogs tour. 20Although the sound quality of this album isn't as good as that of the other two official albums from the 1974 tour, it's still excellent and a great example of the Phillydogs branch of the tour. 21This album contains all tracks from the show in excellent quality. 22Of course the official release of the Nassau Coliseum show has the best sound quality, but this doesn't make the earlier bootlegs superfluous: on the official version the long drum solo on Panic in Detroit has been edited out. 23Neither Cocaine Adds Life nor Dutch Courage are in excellent sound quality, but the latter is much better - and more complete, too. 24Only the Odds and Sods album has both tracks from the show in excellent quality. 25In any respect the LA Forum '78 album is superior to the (already quite good) earlier bootleg. 26The extended 2017 version of the Stage gives the most complete impression of a 1978 show. 27Another nice collection of tracks from a 1978 show. Excellent quality, but not comparable to that of the Stage album. 28The Live in Bremen '78 and High bootlegs have an equally excellent sound quality. The only reason why I have marked the High album as particularly remarkable is that in also includes a DVD of the show. 29Welcome to the Blackout was another great official release of a 1978 show, but one assembled from two different nights. The tracks overlap with the Last Night Earls Court bootleg, which represents a near-complete show from a single night. So despite the latter's slightly inferior sound quality (record it and play around with the EQ-settings), it's still a great album. 30This incomplete show was broadcast on Japanese TV and is available on various bootlegs. The ones marked here are the best in my collection. 31The tracks from the Saturday Night Live and Tonight shows were included on numerous bootlegs. Interestingly, the source always seemed to be the same. That's why the old Alarm bootleg (which includes all tracks from both shows) is still my reference recording. 32The American Live Dance bootleg has been copied from the European Nothin' but a Star album, so the sound quality of the latter is better. Nothin' but a Star is a very good and recommendable audience recording, anyway. 33In terms of sound quality the two promo-only (radio transcription) albums are of course the best. However, you need both albums to get the complete show, and the tracks are not in the right order. The Live 1983 bootleg gives the entire show in the correct order, but in slightly inferior sound. 34The Serious Moonlight album was a disappointment because it didn't feature an entire show. Nonetheless, in terms of sound quality and completeness it is the best 1983 live album that has been officially released so far (if you ignore the Montreal show that is available only on transcription discs). 35I have marked the Tina Live in Europe album because it's the most easily available release. However, the Tina Live and Re:Call 4 albums are as good. 36Astonishingly, it is very difficult to find a decent audio-only recording of Bowie's contribution to Live Aid. The old The Missing Link bootleg and the more recent Live Aid - Wembley Stadium 1985 have a rather poor sound. So the only good one in my collection is Dancing in the Street. 37In terms of sound quality, the Bang Bang bootleg is far from perfect, but both with respect to sound and completeness it's better than You Need a Tie to Get In. 38Originally released as a promo-only (transcription disc) set only, this show soon made it onto the fantastic Bon Soir Montreal bootleg albums. But of course the official releases are the best in terms of sound. 39A great soundboard recording of this Sydney show. 40This Sydney show had been released on an official DVD, but to get it on an audio-only disc you need one of the Glass Spider Live bootlegs. The 1988 Glass Spider Tour bootleg is incomplete, and has a rather poor sound. 41Despite its flaws, the High, Live and Dirty bootleg is the most complete soundboard recording of a show from the first Tin Machine tour in my collection. To get an entire show you'll have to assemble one from various sources... 42In terms of sound quality the official radio transcription album is the best, but it's not the entire show. The bootlegs marked give you the complete show, but without the intro to Space Oddity and in slightly inferior sound quality. 43None of the bootlegs in my collection covers the entire Milton Keynes show; the two bootlegs marked are the most complete ones. The sound quality of all bootlegs is generally excellent. 44The sound quality of both Rock in Rio and the show on the Sounds & Visions CD set is comparable, but the former also has the show in DVD. 45The Live in Chile vinyl bootleg has one more song than the Sounds & Visions CD set. Both have excellent sound quality. 46The official Japanese CDS includes the entire radio session. 47The Heaven's In Here bootleg is the only excellent soundboard recording of a complete show from the It's My Life tour that I have. A fantastic bootleg! 48The Live in Tokyo 1992 bootleg is in excellent sound quality, but incomplete. The Japan 1992 vinyl bootleg is inferior as regards the sound, but it's the entire show. 49The A Tribute to Freddie Mercury CD covers all of Bowie's contributions to the show. 50One of Bowie's few 1993 appearances in excellent sound. 51The Live. Inside CD set and the 1. Hurling Disdain vinyl sets are in equally excellent sound quality. The Back in Anger sets could have been better, but suffer from heavy distortion on some of the Bowie tracks. 52Not surprisingly, the official live albums are brilliant. 53A radio session in excellent sound. 54The Telling Lies CD set is still the best in terms of sound quality and completeness (it includes the introductory music and the fireworks at the end). Both vinyl versions are minimally inferior with respect to the sound, but include all the music. The Made in the Shade bootleg is the better of the two vinyl versions because it also includes the show on DVD. 55A fantastic show in excellent soundboard quality. 56The older Fuck You All Night Long CD has a much better sound than the vinyl bootleg. 57The unofficial 50th Birthday Broadcast album is better than the official Changes Now LP because it also includes the interview. 58None of the vinyl issues matches the Save the Children bootleg in terms of completeness on sound. 59The Atlanta show is more complete on Unplugged. 60The Budapest show is not complete, but both the CD and vinyl versions are in excellent sound quality. 61The vinyl version of the album is superior because it includes the bonus tracks that were only included on the DVD that came with the earlier CD. 62The official release is excellent, but the earlier Hours in Paris bootleg (in comparable sound) includes a DVD of the show. 63Brilliant sound, brilliant show, plus a DVD. 64Both the vinyl issue and the CD version are excellent. 65The Kiss Me Kate! bootleg is superior to the older Request CD, since it is more complete and comes with a DVD. 66The best 2002 show in my collection. Both the vinyl and CD version are great. |
