David Bowie played an excellent greatest hits show at London's Carling Apollo last night, the venue where he killed off Ziggy Stardust in 1973. He kicked off the show with Life On Mars, proceeded with classics Ashes To Ashes, China Girl, Breaking Glass and Absolute Beginners, alongside tracks from his new Mercury Music Prize nominated album. Joking about the collection of songs, he said: "It's an interesting selection of songs tonight - going back from today through the naughties, nineties, eighties and seventies, sixties, fifties, forties, thirties, back to the naughties then into minus numbers." The gig was one of Carling’s popular homecoming gigs where big artists play one of the smaller venues where they began their career.
