[kj] ot. new bauhaus C.D, ;( "here come the comedown.."

[sade1]

   Last time i saw Peter Murphy sing was at the Haus of Blus a few years back. 
  He closed the show with David Bowie's "Space Oddity" and everyone was blown 
  away. Everyone left speechless, sublimely satiated, and awed. 
  (Is it possible to go into a good state of shock?)

    Funny during that show, one of the guitarists had to use the bathroom halfway thru 
  the set -- so the band waited for him. We all just sort of stood there, as Peter talked 
  to the crowd.

It was Ziggy Stardust.

BTW, as far as I know, here's a fairly complete list of songs Bauhaus has 
covered and officially released:

Ziggy Stardust - Bowie
Telegram Sam - T Rex
Rosegarden Funeral of Sores - John Cale
Third Uncle - Brian Eno
Waiting For The Man (live on cd only) - Velvet Underground
The Passenger (live on dvd only) - Iggy Pop
Severence - Dead Can Dance

Bowie really liked Bauhaus. Enough to insist Bauhaus be featured at the 
beginning of the otherwise dull early 80's vampire movie "The Hunger."
