"Tragic Moments/Zion/Aladdin Vein"
A track now referred to as "Zion" has also appeared on bootlegs under the titles "Aladdin Vein", "Love Aladdin Vein", "A Lad in Vein",["The Complete David Bowie: Zion". Nicholas Pegg (2000). Op Cit: pp.249-250] and "A Lad in Vain". [ [http://www.algonet.se/~bassman/bootlegs/91/naw.html "Naked & Wired" at Bassman's David Bowie Page] ] Incorporating parts reminiscent of "Aladdin Sane" and what would become "Sweet Thing (Reprise)" on "Diamond Dogs", this instrumental piece was generally thought to have been recorded during the "Aladdin Sane" sessions at Trident Studios early in 1973. However a recent estimate places it alongside recordings for "Pin Ups" later that year, as a preview of Bowie's next original work, leading author Nicholas Pegg to suggest that it "perhaps ought to be regarded more as a "Diamond Dogs" demo than an "Aladdin Sane" out-take".][ A 1973 article about Bowie recording "PinUps" in France accurately describes the song, which seems to confirm Pegg's theory:]Live versions
* A live version (which also included "Candidate" and "Sweet Thing (Reprise)" from the 1974 tour was released on "David Live". Another live recording from the 1974 tour was released on the semi-legal album "A Portrait in Flesh".
