David Bowie

In the summer of 1990, David Bowie was riding high on the wave of his 'Never Let Me Down' album, which had been released a couple of years earlier in '87. This live recording from the Maine Road concert captures Bowie at a pivotal time, showcasing not just his popular hits but also his daring evolution as an artist. Interestingly, this performance is part of the 'Sound + Vision Tour,' which aimed to celebrate Bowie's extensive catalog while also signaling a brief hiatus from touring for him. The tour setlist often included fan favorites like 'Heroes,' highlighting Bowie's flair for blending theatricality with raw emotional intensity. This particular live version energizes the crowd and underscores his ability to connect with an audience—something that never faltered throughout his illustrious, yet sometimes tumultuous, career.
