David Bowie - Scary Monsters Live in San Sebastian, Spain

Venue: Velódromo de Anoeta Location: San Sebastian, Basque Country, Spain Date: July 17, 1997

In July 1997, David Bowie performed at the Velódromo de Anoeta in San Sebastián, Spain, bringing his unique flair to the stage with the iconic track 'Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps).' This live recording comes after the release of his acclaimed album 'Earthling' in 1997, which infused the artist's sound with electronic elements and showcased his ability to adapt to changing musical landscapes. Fun fact: during this era, Bowie was actively embracing the internet, even releasing his own online-only album, which was quite ahead of its time! By 1997, he was not just a musical innovator but also a cultural icon, continually pushing the boundaries of art and technology. His performances were a blend of theatricality and artistic expression, and this show is a testament to his enduring legacy.
