Ziggy Stardust Tour Reimagined | Edinburgh News

0:00So, there's this tour going around right now, celebrating David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust era. The drummer, Woody Woodman'sy, who was actually there for the original recordings, is leading the charge. He's not just playing the beats. He's bringing that authentic feel, especially on tracks like 5 years, which kicks things off with this. Undeniable weight. Glenn Gregory is handling the vocals, and the connection he's building with the audience is pretty special. He's even joking about playing all 22 tour dates in Glasgow, and honestly, the crowd seems like they'd be down for it. Gregory really embodies the spirit of these songs, making them feel fresh yet familiar. The band is digging into some deep cuts, too. They're doing rock and roll with me, a track Bowie co-row with a friend, and it's coming across with a real warmth. Even Jessica Lee Morgan, who's usually on guitar, switches to saxophone for a cool rendition of Drive-In Saturday. One of the standout moments has to be panic and Detroit. This song, with his driving rhythm and Mick Ronson's iconic guitar riff, has been a fan

It's a powerful reminder of the original recording sessions. The guitarists, Paul Cutterford and James Stevenson, are also doing some serious work. The guitarist, Paul Cutterford, in particular, is shining on tracks like Eight Line Poem. It's a great moment to remember Mick Ronson, a musician who left such a huge mark on Bowie sound and sadly passed away too soon. That's the story for today. Edinburgh News Today, Driven by AI.
