David Bowie - Waiting For The Man (San Francisco Hotel Recording)

November 2022 saw the release of the "Divine Symmetry" Bowie boxset. Continuing the new line re-issuing individual Bowie albums (starting with 1969's "Space Oddity" in 2019) this boxset now features anthology tracks all related to Bowie's Hunky Dory album. From demos, to live performances, to alternate and new mixes from producer Ken Scott, it is a must-have for any Hunky Dory diehard fans!
Personally, I'm quite astounded by this release. For starters, it's a shame it hasn't been released on TH-cam Music therefore making it harder to stream the boxset. Aswell as this, the quality of some of these demos are astonishingly awful, particularly on headphones. If the demos are that scuffed that even bootlegs have better fidelity to them then I don't see the point of releasing them officially. But that's just my personal opinion!
This track was mislabelled as "Quicksand (San Francisco Hotel Recording)" on the official release

Awesome. I've always loved the rocking "Ziggy" version of this arrangement from the Santa Monica 1972 show. This is a real treat.

Really cool hotel recording! Thanks for posting.

Anything new from the Bowie 1971 period is cool in my book. Nice gutsy version of the Lou Reed classic.

Here's the duet Bowie/Reed, of course...

[@phillipanderson7398]

Bowie changes Lou Reed's lyrics from " hey white boy, you chasing our women around ? " to the less threatening " hey white boy, you chasing all the women around".

That 12-string came in handy didn't it?
