Notes: video quality is not too good, for it's dark, but quite acceptable. Good close ups of Bowie and the band.
Sound quality sucks for the most part, but sometimes it is decent...could be improved by some willing soul.
There's a very annoying distortion on low frequencies.
The quality is overall really not too good, but the atmosphere is GREAT. Bowie was inspired and very much at ease,
doing something that he evidently enjoyed very much.
Info: Tao Jones Index is the name David Bowie and his band used for the drum'n'bass segments of their live shows on the 1997 "Earthling" tour.
He played a full set under this name in the Phoenix Festival dance tent. It's a pun based on his own real name (D. Jones) and his bond offering
that he made earlier that year.
Tao, a Chinese character pronounced "dow," not only stands for the Chinese equivalent to Bowie's first initial, "D", but also has heavy religious
implications through its correlation Taoism, therefore contributing to the religious overtones of "Pallas Athena."
Bowie and band played in the Radio 1 Dance tent as Tao Jones Index, with no spotlights on David.
Instead they performed in darkness with dry ice and strobe lights.
