Background and release
On 8 September 2003, Bowie and his backing band performed his album Reality (2003) in its entirety at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London, England, with the performance beamed to cinemas and theatres across Europe and, due to time delay, the following day across Asia, Australia, North and South America.[2][3] 22 years later, the performance was released as an album for Record Store Day 2025.[4] The performance itself was deemed rare before its release as an album.[5]
