This version of An Occasional Dream is just gorgeous. It’s the sixth track of the live gig at the Paris Cinema Studios in London, a BBC Radio session broadcast on John Peel’s The Sunday Show from early 1970. It’s just Bowie on acoustic, with John Cambridge on drums tapping out the beat with a cross-stick (rim click) and Tony Visconti providing the melody on bass. Bowie’s vocal performance is just awesome: wistful, longing, lost. It’s a real pity this track didn’t get included on Bowie at the Beeb (1990) with a clean recording from the Bowie archive, as all we have is an old tape cassette rendering of the original broadcast. Nevertheless, the performance breaks on thru…
Written by David Bowie. Recorded live 5 February 1970. Broadcast 8 February 1970. Available on bootlegs.
Just saw a tweet reffering to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury as gay…
They were both Bi. Bisexual. Not Gay. They were Bi.
And they both said so multiple times.
Stop erasing Bisexuality. Pretty sure we’re real.
