Parlophone Records has announced that three rare David Bowie live releases from the 1990s will all be returning to streaming formats in the months ahead. Tomorrow, May 15, the first of these titles will arrive on digital platforms. Liveandwell.com was made available as a limited edition CD release in 2000 to BowieNet subscribers. It typically fetches high sums secondhand. For this streaming reissue, it has been expanded with two bonus tracks: “Pallas Athena” and “V-2 Schneider,” the former originally recorded on Black Tie White Noise and the latter from Heroes.

Liveandwell.com‘s 12 tracks are culled from concerts recorded in New York, Amsterdam, Rio De Janeiro, and at the U.K.’s Phoenix festival during the 1997 Earthling tour. All of these performances are exclusive to the release, while the two bonus tracks have been drawn from the 12-inch single The Tao Jones Index (so titled for the name used by Bowie and his band when they played impromptu sets in festival dance tents).

The original album was produced by Bowie, co-produced by Reeves Gabrels and Mark Plati and mixed by Plati at Looking Glass Studios, in New York City. [Its original bonus disc of remixes does not appear to be part of this digital reissue.]  Musicians include: Bowie on vocals, guitar, and saxophone; Zachary Alford on drums; Gail Ann Dorsey on bass, vocals, and keyboards; Gabrels on guitars, synthesizers, and vocals; and Mike Garson on piano, keyboards, and synthesizers.

You can stream Liveandwell.com tomorrow on your favorite service!
