David Bowie

On July 14, 1987, David Bowie performed at Maine Road in Manchester during his 'Glass Spider Tour', a striking showcase promoting his album 'Never Let Me Down', which had been released just a few months prior, in April of that same year. This was a pivotal period in Bowie's career, blending his theatrical performance style with a more mainstream rock sound. 'Never Let Me Down' itself was met with mixed reviews, but live performances like this highlighted Bowie's charisma and stage presence, drawing audiences into his world. Interestingly, the tour featured elaborate staging and a spectacular visual presentation, a hallmark of Bowie's creative vision. This performance of 'Time' not only captured the electric atmosphere of the concert but also represented Bowie’s continual reinvention, as he sought to reach both new and longtime fans.
