DAVID BOWIE - Cracked Actor ( Diamond Dogs Tour)

FINAL SONG FROM BBC’s LATER WITH JOOLS HOLLAND “I’m stiff on my legend...” Here’s the fourth and final instalment from Bowie’s 1999 appearance on BBC TWO’s Later... with Jools Holland. It’s a blistering rendition of Cracked Actor and a fine example of just how good Bowie’s band was. It certainly ranks among the very best performances of the song and the singer turns in a tasty vocal himself.
