David Bowie’s archival drops are continuing with the upcoming digital release of Something in the Air (Live Paris 99).

Recorded on Oct. 14, 1999, in Paris’ Elysée Montmartre, the new installment includes rarities like “Can’t Help Thinking About Me,” which he recorded in 1965 but haven’t performed in more than three decades. It also includes live renditions of “Word on a Wing,” off 1975’s Station to Station; Aladdin Sane’s “Drive-In Saturday;” and the premiere live performance of “Something in the Air,” off Hours, which released that year.

Although three of the tracks appear on the Hours B-sides, the remaining 12 have never been released before.

This live album follows the archival releases of LiveandWell.com in May and Ouvrez Le Chien (Live Dallas 95) in June.
