David Bowie — Hours in Sweden DVD
The Hours Era in Scandinavia — 102 Minutes of Rare Swedish Television
Hours in Sweden is a single-disc collector's DVD assembling seven separate Swedish television broadcasts from David Bowie's 1999 Hours promotional campaign — a fascinating document of how Bowie presented one of his most introspective and underrated albums to European audiences during an era when his TV appearances were becoming increasingly rare.
What's on the Disc
Seven TV show segments captured from Swedish analogue broadcast sources, covering a mix of live performances and extended interviews. Thursday's Child and Survive appear multiple times across different broadcasts — offering a fascinating comparison of how Bowie tailored each performance to its specific setting. Repetition, Something in the Air, Seven, China Girl, and The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell complete the performance content, while multiple interview segments give genuine insight into Bowie's thinking during the Hours period.
