David Bowie & Arcade Fire Fashion Rock pics | TV tonight

David Bowie performed with the Arcade Fire at the Fashion Rocks concert at Radio City Music Hall last night (Sept 8, 2005). The show will be televised tonight. (click photos for larger versions)

David Bowie and the ARcade Fire

"...A ton of intruments flood the stage after Duran Duran and it turns out that Arcade Fire are up next. Thanks to Brooklynvegan, I knew that a. David Bowie will be joining them onstage and b., they will perform "Wake Up". Besides my friend and I, the only person that seems to be enjoying this performance is a girl to my right, two rows in front of me. Most people were talking or reading. Lisa Marie Presley introduces the superunion and Bowie and Arcade Fire first perform "Five Years." Then Bowie announces that they will perform an Arcade Fire song. Bowie is still playing guitar and starts singing the first verse. Oh to be Win Butler at that moment. Someone he listened to while growing up is singing a song he wrote, on stage, at Radio City Music Hall. The song sounds great and of course, I wanted them to play more. But we only get two songs from the Arcade Fire-David Bowie supergroup..." [death of a party]

Is this still going to be on tonight? I thought the hurricane benefit concert was going to be shown on every broadcast station available (at least it will be on the West Coast)

Yes this is still gonna be on tonight. The "Shelter from the Storm" concert will be broadcast on all the major networks at 8 and the Fashion Rocks concert will be broadcast at 9 on CBS. Hopefully they'll show the broadcast of all of the Bowie and Arcade Fire songs, because honestly that's why I'm watching it since I'm a rockist (man I hate that feckin' term) and all. :-)
