David Bowie - 2002-09-18 - London, UK (FM)

2002 - On June 11, 2002, David Bowie released the album, Heathen, which would reach # 14 on the Billboard charts, his highest charting album in the US since Tonight in 1984. The disc also earned some of his strongest reviews since Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) in 1980. Worldwide, Heathen sold over two million copies and ranked in the top 5 on the charts in England, France, Germany, Norway and Denmark. Most significantly, the album dealt with Bowie’s impressions of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US. Bowie was living in NY at the time of the attacks, and opened the Concert For New York City at Madison Square Garden in October 2001 that raised money for victims of the tragedy. Heathen, with songs such as Slow Burn, that described a world coming apart and gripped by fear, and Sunday, with lyrics such as "Nothing remains...everything has changed”, reflected the devastating impact of that day.  This FM broadcast captures Bowie in London at the BBC Studios on September 18, 2002, 17 years ago today, playing a set featuring a host of tracks from Heathen.
