Useless trivia- that was the first Bowie show for 10 yrs without Gabrels on guitar- he was bitten in the woods by his home by a tick and cried off - turned out he'd got Lymes Disease. Slick answered an SOS from DB and then never really left until he died.
*An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.
I caught a bit of the Bowie performance last night, and enjoyed watching that sideman documentary Slick presented a couple of years back too.
chatting after the show
This is an interesting read on the background...

2000 was a brilliant festival if extremely mad. Friday night I saw Elliott Smith with full band in front of about 120 people in the BBC tent, possibly my all time fave Glastonbury moment.

"Gail and I first decided to swap in Milan while we were doing one of those TV shows where you only get to play one song. We were playing 'Thursday's Child' for the umpteenth time, so we decided to make it interesting and switch off. We decided that we'd do it in concert after that, and we chose 'Ashes' as it has both a great guitar and bass part, and the band were then in the process of learning it. We later swapped on 'Seven', and also on 'London Boys' when Gail plays clarinet."
I don't.
