If you go to this link - Reality Tour DVD you'll find some official footage from the new Bowie DVD available for viewing. YAY!
From the looks of things, the DVD is gonna be good.
Those who aren't Bowie.Net members can only view little sections of each video while Bowie.Net members can view the entire video (you'll need to go to the main site to log in first). If you're not a member, I've been advised to save your money and spend it elsewhere.
The videos that can be viewed now are 'Rebel Rebel', 'All The Young Dudes', 'The Loneliest Guy', 'Spaceboy' and 'Under Pressure'. From next week, 'Never Get Old', 'Five Years', 'I'm Afraid of Americans', 'The Man Who Sold The World' and 'Ziggy Stardust' will be available for viewing.

Most people will have heard of Sir Richard Branson’s latest project – the three hour Virgin Galactic Flights into space for commercial passengers, to come into effect within the next three years.
They’ll be playing songs during this time inside the flights for the passengers to listen to, about space.
And, winning the poll for the ultimate play list for these trips and therefore being the first track to be played as voted by Virgin Radio listeners, is David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’! YAY! There’s a new place to listen to it. He released ‘Space Oddity’ in 1969, which Bowie was inspired to write by the Apollo 8 Mission (and was played in presumably England during the launch). On this note, Elton John’s ‘Rocket Man’ was inspired by ‘Space Oddity. As written by Angie Bowie, David was a little more than pissed off about this.
I won’t put down the lyrics here, but if you go find them and read them, you might wonder about playing this song during a space flight, when you consider what the song is about…
Other songs that will be included are ‘Walking On The Moon’ by the Police, ‘All Around The World’ by Oasis, ‘Man On The Moon’ by REM and ‘Here Comes The Sun’ by The Beatles.
Interested in going on the flights? They take off from Mojave Desert in California and it’s just a small AU $244,726 per person per flight…
