In October 2002, David Bowie performed the New York City Marathon Tour. Five different nights in five different venues in each of New York's five boroughs. It was a tribute to New York, and a tribute to his fans. For the first time in over fifteen years, he let a photographer follow him on tour, capturing a David Bowie we've never seen before.

Myriam Santos-Kayda, acclaimed portrait photographer for the music industry, has captured David Bowie in rehearsal, in the dressing room, onstage and backstage, alone and hanging out with his band. Bowie, one of rock's most influential and enduring figures, reveals his complexity, humor, grace, and rigor as an artist and performer.

About the Marathon Tour, Bowie writes, "The last time I came through the Northeast it was on the Area 2 Tour. We played in amphitheaters, which are usually a good distance from the major cities. Marathon courses are strategically planned to bring the runners to the streets. I would like to repay the fans that traveled so far to see me by bringing my show to them. But most importantly, I could get home from all the gigs on roller skates."

David Bowie: Live in New York is an intimate portrait of one of rock and roll's most exciting events of the decade.

David Bowie is one of rock's most influential figures. For over thirty years of recording and performing, his innovation has inspired and influenced a generation of performing and visual artists. He has continually and masterfully reinvented himself, from the glam rock days as "Ziggy Stardust" to the goth-cyber of "Low" and "Heroes," and from the soulful rhythm and blues of "Young Americans" to the post-punk "Scary Monsters." Unlike many recording artists of his generation, Bowie remains insistently on the cutting edge of the popular culture. He now lives in New York City with his wife Iman and daughter Alexandria.
