David Bowie

In November 1977, David Bowie performed 'Blackout' during his legendary 'Isolar' tour, a pivotal moment in his career. This live recording captures the energy of his performances after the release of the iconic 'Low' earlier that year. 'Low,' the first in his Berlin Trilogy, marked a breathtaking shift in his sound, blending rock with avant-garde influences and electronic experimentation. Interestingly, 'Blackout' is a testament to Bowie's creative evolution, showcasing his bold exploration of new musical territories. It's worth noting that the Dallas concert footage not only honors the late drummer Dennis Davis but also reflects Bowie’s knack for marrying emotion and innovation in his performances. This era in Bowie’s life was defined by both personal struggle and artistic rebirth, making these recordings a treasure trove of inspiration and ingenuity.
