It's really good.
I've just converted the lot from YouTube to mp3.
DeFries talking in depth , I'd never heard him speak before.

I'm just a few chapters in of Life On Tour with David Bowie by Sean Mayes. Mayes is a member of the support band Fumble who originally supported him as Ziggy and now joins Bowie on his world tour 78/79.
Can't say it is a riveting read at all to be honest. Just a diary of the minutae of life on the (first class) road, hotels, soundchecks, concert and restaurants. Maybe for someone who lives and breathes Bowie.

Nothing you haven't seen before but still a fun watch if you're interested...
Diamond Dogs / Young Americans / StationToStation era
Bowie's Plastic Soul | 1974-1976
In 1974, Glam Rock Icon David Bowie left behind the androgynous trappings of the Ziggy Stardust persona and made a hard left turn into American-Soul and Funk. With the help of girlfriend Ava Cherry, guitarist Carlos Alomar, a then unknown Luther Vandross, and John Lennon, Bowie created some of his greatest work from 1974 to 1976. Classic albums such as "Young Americans" and "Station to Station" were released to great acclaim, all while Bowie found himself in the grip of addiction.
