I was wondering if anyone else saw this song played live?
I know they played this live on 10/3/95 with Bowie but on all of the boots from
'95 with Bowie this was not on it.

North Carolina, Philly and some other places.

Closer To God was not played live at the show Children Of The Night
came from. That show has the original version of Closer.

I saw this song played live in Chicago during the Bowie/NIN tour.
Rather amused me when I heard people saying stuff like "Man, they are
really fucking up this song, sounds nothing like the album."

yet another reason i hate bootlegs is the fact that you get to hear dumbfucks
shouting "play closer" in the background the entire disc until closer is played.

I believe there are some boots with this on it, but not from this
particular show. Remember that the song could be mislabled as "Closer" by
the bootlegger, since many know nothing about the music itself.

well, i have heard one in which a couple of annoying sorority type girls
were annoyingly singing along with "i want to fuck you like an animal"
and nothing else at the entire damn concert. i couldn't listen to closer
on that one even though i liked the rest of it. (before you ask, i don't
have it anymore, i loaned it away and never got it back. it was from the
bowie tour in i think hershey, pa)

i have to agree with sir starkypoo on this one. i'm the not-so-proud
owner of almost 50 bootlegs. i've been to 5 shows from 3 different tours
and NOT ONCE did i ever hear that....

*shrug* only my personal experience.

Are you talking about the show they played at the new world music theatre

Why are there so many people liking this song?

I think that Closer is a good song as well. What drew me to Closer
was that great instrumental ending to the song, best part of the song.

in the video for Toronto 96 (i think), you can hear two chicks say
"PLAY CLOSER, I JUST WANT TO HEAR CLOSER" and then when closer starts,
"IS THIS CLOSER?"

do you mean 'were' instead of 'where'? let me guess, english isn't your first

i thought it was on terrible live lie... i'll admit i overgeneralized more than i
wanted to in my previous statement; the point i was really trying to make was that
poor sound quality and less than perfect music are some of the reasons i don't like
bootlegs, and are reasons i am constantly amazed when they go for $100+ on ebay.

No it wasn't. It was a language we angels spoke before we fell.
(btw, nice to see you repeating lines I originated. Seems it's
all the rage to do like I do.)

Closer is an excellent song, everytime I listen to it I find something
new that I've missed so many times before, it was quite awhile before I
noticed that this bell notes at the very end of the song are also played
right at the beggining, just softer.

It was, for me, a sexual experience.

Which may or may not be saying much, considering that earlier this
evening, I opened a bottle of Kristal Hefeweisen beer (crystal wheat
beer) which I smuggled back from Germany, and merely smelling the
freshly opened bottle nearly sent me to my knees in ecstacy.

Strange, but true.

Don't mock until you've had the same experience.

just figured i'd add one more if you're looking for a bootleg (since i
think this was on video somewhere). pittsburgh (technically,
burgettstown, pa). i was at that show.

also, it was at toronto. i have a video of that show.
