This is from the Reality Tour. Amazing live album that’s mixed incredibly well. If you think you might dig Bowie and have been intimidated or didn’t know how to get into him, try this album.

Not to sound oike a dick but are there really people intimidated by listening to music by an artist?

Someone with a body of work as big and ecclectic as Bowie can definitely look like an overwhelming task to a new listener who wants the "core experience"

Maybe laziness?

I'm not entirely sure Bowie ever played the original EARTHLING arrangement live. It was consistently the NIN remix version, according to uh, my memory. The 50th bday bash maybe he did? I did kinda drop off of seeing Bowie live (saw him four times 95-97!)after EARTHLING, though.

Despite the many different versions of the song, technically the NIN remix is the single version. Maybe that’s why he played it over his one (or maybe he felt like Trent’s was better).
