Performances from the tour can be heard on the 2020 albums Ouvrez Le Chien (Live Dallas 95) and No Trendy Réchauffé (Live Birmingham 95). HO: It’s been a life changing experience for me and certainly for my mum, when she got diagnosed with terminal cancer. She ended up in Myton Hospital last Christmas, and we spent a beautiful two weeks for her to have respite, to get strong in spirit and she’s strong for the time being. I get asked to do a lot of charity things, so I’m doing as much as I can. I’ve written a special song that won’t come out now till autumn, it’s something I had written for my mum and stepfather, who has recently passed away. It’s a lovely song and a celebration, and that’s what all of us leave a celebration of a life. David Bowie performed ‘Breaking Glass’ throughout the Isolar II, Serious Moonlight, Outside, Heathen, and A Reality tours. The original song was uncompromising even by Low 's standards. The fractured lyric is, like several songs written during Bowie's stay in Berlin, introspective of his dark, drug-filled period living in America in 1975–1976. Its lyrics, when written out, look potentially more like a paragraph than a song, and when separated into phrases, the song has a disjointed feeling. The song is also curiously short, not spanning two minutes and only going through one verse. A live performance during the Serious Moonlight Tour, filmed on 12 September 1983, was included on the Serious Moonlight concert video (1984) and the identically-named live album included with the Loving the Alien (1983–1988) box set (2018) and released separately in 2019.

Pete Chambers: As part of the 30th Anniversary you’re re-recording Breaking Glass album with The Subterraneans and Roger Lomas producing, so why revisit it? The final scene shows Kate catatonic at a mental hospital where Danny comes to visit her and to bring her a synthesiser. Bowie next played ‘Breaking Glass’ in 1995 during the Outside Tour. Bowie and his band performed the ‘Australian’ arrangement of the song, with the vocal parts repeated.On tour again, the agents start sowing seeds of discontent among the band, hinting heavily that Danny is the problem. This leads to a confrontation on the tour bus after which Danny storms out and quits. Woods now moves in as the band's manager and becomes Kate's new lover. Two separate live recordings of the song, performed during Bowie's 1995–96 Outside Tour, appear on the live albums Ouvre le Chien (Live Dallas 95) (2020) and No Trendy Réchauffé (Live Birmingham 95) (2020). Hazel O’Connor: There’s a couple of reasons, one, is that over 30 years my voice has changed a lot and developed, I think that the songs on that album were very seminal. Because I have worked with the Subterraneans for five years I thought it would be a nice thing to do between us, and of course Roger Lomas, who has really supported me in this town. So it’s me doffing my cap to the people I work with and doffing my cap to the songs that I wrote.

The lines "Don't look at the carpet; I drew something awful on it" refer to Bowie's practice of drawing the Tree of Life on the floor during that period, as he was interested in Aleister Crowley and Qabalah at the time. HO: Well we do that with Clare Hirst on Saxophone, there’s a lot of songs I love, like Funny Valentine, Stormy Weather. So the idea is we have a loose collective, and it’s based around blues and jazz, hence the name. Though it’s more classic pop really, and we have people like, Sarah Fisher, Herbie Flowers coming in on bass and Cormac on the harp. Malins, Steve (2006). Notorious: The Unauthorised Biography.
