David Bowie makes technological history, live album launch

The live set in London, will showcase tracks
from his new album, entitled "Reality," and many cuts from his extensive
back catalog.

The 90-minute concert at the Riverside studios in Hammersmith will
be beamed live by satellite to 22 cinemas in Europe, including five in the
UK.

Cinemas in the rest of the world, including those in Rio de
Janeiro, New York, Sydney, Warsaw, Toronto and Tokyo will see the concert
the following day due to the time difference.

Bowie has been a longtime pioneer of technology in the music
industry.

In the 1980s he was one of the first artists to use e-mail to
communicate with the media while on tour. In the 1990s, he offered fans a
chance to download his latest release from the Internet in one of the
first widespread uses of that
technology.
