By early 1997 Radiohead had already delighted critics and fans alike with their sophomore album The Bends a record that knocked spots off a somewhat pedestrian debut. Tired and anxious after a mammoth world tour the band now went back into the studio to produce what would become OK Computer - a masterwork amongst rock records and that decade's peak of musical achievement.
It wasnt until the release of 1983's Let's Dance that David Bowie achieved the type of enormous global success he had sorely deserved for so very long. Ironically for most of his fans by that juncture he had already produced the best music he was ever going to make. So while there were still delights to come as Bowie toured the world playing to more people over one tour than he had in his entire career to that point his legacy was assured by records he released during the previous decade and each concert he now performed would be dominated with songs from that golden era. This 2 DVD set is a documentary review concentrating on David Bowie in the 1970's the decade in which he not only made his name but in which he dominated the music scene like no other musical icon before or since. Running at over 2 and a half hours this programme looks at his pre-fame era his early albums his glam period when the world sat up and took notice and his perpetual reinventions throughout the decade when it seemed this bizarre creature would adopt a brand new persona every few weeks.
