This just in from the excellent Midnight Cafe





This is an excellent quality document of DB and the rehearsal sessions with Stevie Ray Vaughan who it is easy to forget was first really 'discovered' playing on Let's Dance and early Bowie choice for lead guitar. Vaughan obviously went on to his own superstardom before his own untimely death but one doesn't normally associate him with Bowie and that style of music, his own music genre being more blues rooted. This fact and his involvement with Bowie's 'Serious Moonlight' tour in particular has always fascinated me 

Enjoy this I know I did . . . . . .
