Enlightning
To me, Bowie has pretty much always been on the top of my Rock Music list. Like many others I discovered him in his Ziggy days...'72 I believe. I liked Starman but when I first heard Five Years I was blown away and there was no going back.
This Doc focuses on his early years. It was great seeing snippets of those early clips with songs I was unaware of. Some commented that they were disappointed it didn't go into Ziggy and what came after more. That wasn't the point of this Doc. Besides, everyone knows the early years are what's most interesting.
Alot of Bowie's early songs are actually very good..only to be let down by the arrangements at times.
Watching this Doc I got a sense of the personality that he was. The interviews with old band mates and friends were informative and didn't meander on. Slight disappointment was that there was very little visual interviews with Bowie.
All in all, very recommended to Bowie and Rock Music fans.
