David Bowie

In the summer of 1990, David Bowie was riding the wave of his critically acclaimed album "Tin Machine II", which he released earlier that same year. This live performance from July 8th, 1990, showcases Bowie during the peak of his adventurous phase with Tin Machine, a rock band he formed as a creative outlet that defied traditional solo artist expectations. Interestingly, this period marked a return to a more gritty, guitar-driven sound, a shift away from his earlier, polished classics. The Manchester gig features a passionate crowd, further igniting Bowie’s dynamic stage presence. The atmosphere is electric, revealing his ongoing evolution as an artist; he was not just performing songs but also redefining himself continually in the ever-changing landscape of rock music.
