David Bowie

In February 1990, David Bowie was on the heels of his album 'Never Let Me Down,' which had dropped two years earlier. By this point, he was blending the sounds of the 80s glam with a growing interest in new music trends, tapping into various genres. Interestingly, this live recording of 'Suffragette City' at the Volksfestplatz in Ulm, Germany, captures Bowie in a vibrant phase of his career, showcasing not only his iconic style but also his knack for reinvention. Bowie was connecting with audiences who yearned for a taste of his classic hits while embracing his ever-evolving artistry. It’s quite striking to see how even then, he carried the legacy of the Ziggy Stardust persona, while simultaneously looking ahead, hinting at a fascinating juxtaposition of nostalgia and innovation during an electrifying performance.
