I was listening to the podcast AlbumToAlbum. The latest episode is about Tonight. The guest is Nicholas Pegg. They play a demo from the Tonight album, it is the first time I hear a demo from the album, so my question is, any ideas where I can find those?
Unlike Pegg I love the album, their conversation is really interesting, it was the first part of two, I can highly recommend th podcast.

Hi damienjones
I have to go back and listen, if I'm wrong then maybe  it was a rehearsal, my bad. I was doing stuff while listening. But I was sure it was a demo, I will give it another listen.

I think youre refering to the snipit they played of Loving the Alien.  
Its not a demo but an audience recording of the paired down version with Gerry Leonard of LTA played at the 2003 Tibet house concert. Later played at most of the Reality Tour gigs.

Thank you Besomdave
That is a wonderful detailed answer, I am sure you are right.
I love the knowledge that we have and share here on Bowie Station.
I am sure you are right. I'll download that Tibet House gig, I have an other one but not that one.
I won't get to re listen to the podcast before tonight.
In general I would love more Bowie demos, especially of the 80's albums, to hear how those songs started, before going through production, although I know most don't have vocals before the very end of being recorded.

Bowie once said in an interview a few years after that the demos for the tonight were much better than the completed album. Can't remember when but he deffo said it.

these demos, at least officially, will not be released
the album Lets Dance was much more successful and to this day has not received an expanded edition and only the demo of the title track has been released

I re listened to the podcast and Besomdave was right about it being the Tibet House live version.
I was drawing while listening and they had talked about demos a bit before playing it, I just missed the info of to thinking it was a demo.


I was really disappointed when they released the Let's Dance demo, that was clearly an almost there production, and far from Bowies own demo that apparently was just Bowie playing guitar and singing.
Maybe if they ever get to the deluxe versions of those 80's albums they will let us get them, if they follow through with those.

Carlos Alomar has said the mythical demo of Loving The Alien is BS.

I don't see anything wrong with the version released on Tonight, it is without a doubt the best composition on the album and if this demo is similar to the 2002 version it is better to keep it, it will not add anything... on the contrary.

He probably said it a lot, but the mention I remember was on the interview included on the 1990 Baktabak release 'Introspective'. A good long interview from the era.

"My job is to lie to you."

Carlos Alomar has said he's heard this 'magic demo' and it's utter shyte.
"I wrote a beautiful arrangement for it."
But like 'Berlin Trilogy',
etc,
critics LOve these sorta things.
You've heard the later Acoustic-ified,
''let's play it properly version''.
There is no snowman.
There is no demo.

There IS a 'better take' of God Only Knows on a shelf.
But I've never heard of anything else.
Since this era is ''Officially Shyte'' to some.
There's not the demand for out-takes.
