David Bowie - Live Performance of China Girl
In August 1999, David Bowie delivered a memorable performance of "China Girl" at The Grand Ballroom in Manhattan Center, New York. This live recording came shortly after the release of his album "Hours..." earlier that same year. "Hours..." was quite significant for Bowie, marking a comeback of sorts after a period of fluctuating commercial success. Not only did it showcase his evolving sound, blending rock with electronic influences, but it also hinted at his introspection during that stage of his career. Interestingly, "China Girl" originally appeared on his 1983 album "Let's Dance," which amplified his pop presence, but here, he infused it with a mature finesse that reflected his artistic growth. This performance captured Bowie at a unique crossroads, reminding fans of both his classic hits and his ability to innovate well into his career.
