David Bowie

In July 1997, David Bowie performed a passionate rendition of "Fame" at the Pferderennbahn in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, during his Earthling tour. This was a pivotal moment in his career, as it followed the release of his album "Earthling," which came out earlier that year. The album marked a significant shift toward electronic and drum and bass influences, showcasing Bowie's continuous evolution as an artist. Interestingly, "Earthling" wasn't just a commercial success; it was also about redefining Bowie's sound for a new generation. In this live performance, you can hear the palpable energy from both Bowie and the audience, reflecting his lasting impact on music and his ability to resonate with fans from all walks of life. This show encapsulated a time when Bowie was experimenting and pushing boundaries even further.
