David Bowie

In the summer of 1997, David Bowie was deep into his 'Earthling' phase, having released the album just a few months earlier. 'Earthling' marked a significant shift towards electronic and industrial sounds, reflecting Bowie’s ongoing evolution as an artist. Performing 'Scary Monsters' during this show in Germany allowed Bowie to bridge his classic hits with contemporary vibes. Interestingly, 'Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)' was released in 1980 and showcased Bowie's ability to reinvent himself, laying the groundwork for his later works. By this time, Bowie had fully embraced a sense of theatricality and social commentary in his performances, blending his earlier personas with fresh energy. It's fascinating to think about how Bowie continually connected his past with the present, crafting a live experience that was both a tribute to his roots and a forward-looking celebration of his innovative spirit.
