David Bowie

In November 1971, during the transitional phase of his career, David Bowie was promoting his groundbreaking album "Hunky Dory," which had been released just weeks earlier in December 1971. This album featured some of his most iconic tracks, including "Changes," "Oh! You Pretty Things," and "Life on Mars?" By the time of the live performance of "Suffragette City," Bowie was beginning to gain recognition both in the UK and the US, marking the rise of his alter ego, Ziggy Stardust. This creative period was significant as it laid the groundwork for his glam rock persona, which would dominate his subsequent work. The live version of "Suffragette City," which showcases Bowie's energetic stage presence, exemplifies this era of experimentation and theatricality in his performances, as he seamlessly merged music and performance art.
