From what I know there is no official DVD on the Sound & Vision Tour, but only video "bootleg" (sold mostly on the Internet). Some are good, some less: this one is of medium quality and is taken from DVD Sound+Vision Tour, Bowie Live Tokyo Dome 1990. There are other videos of these, on-line (also in one playlist of my main-channel - theMusicofmyLife1 - named "DAVID BOWIE LIVE TOKYO 1990").
Some of the lyrics are about his cocaine addiction and the struggle of trying to beat it. The ones about trying to stay clean, and ending up stuck with a "valuable friend" instead.
Check out the version of this song from the Tonight Show 1980. Amazing and raw-er than this one.
He said this song was primarily about "wrapping up the seventies really for itself.. seemed a good enough epitaph for it". I think to see that meaning, the central parts you need to look at are, first the beginning, which from the start sets the meaning as looking back to Bowie's early career. It's very nostalgic. Major Tom had not only been lost in the story, but forgotten in time itself by his audience.He mentions this fact in the first line, making sure to ask "do you remember the guy.?" xo
Deeply grateful for not giving usual and flat interpretation on this iridescent gem. I really like your key, the theme of the past that, most likely, is the enigma of fund. As children we discovered a feeling of abandonment (pure, intense), that reappears in adulthood as an echo of a nursery rhyme, to remember that "having been fully who we are, is past". Past would be to give up the vital concreteness of Present, the space of Wonder, the doors of the Dream.

My compliments for the great quality of this video.
I have a question, was this tour (Sounds & Visions) ever released as an official dvd.
I`ve heard alot of this tour of Bowie, but have never really seen anything of it on video.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks for the upload of this video.
