David Bowie

In September 1971, David Bowie was riding high on the success of his fourth studio album, 'Hunky Dory,' which had been released just months earlier in December 1971. This album marked a pivotal moment in Bowie's career, showcasing iconic tracks like 'Changes' and 'Life on Mars?' that would define his sound and style. The live recording of 'Buzz The Fuzz' at the Borough Assembly Hall in Aylesbury highlights Bowie’s innovative stage presence and musical experimentation during this transformative time. Interestingly, this performance occurred just as he was beginning to fully embrace his Ziggy Stardust persona, which would come to life in the years following this show. The live video encapsulates Bowie’s raw energy and the growing connection with his audience, ultimately reflecting the cultural shifts of the early 1970s.
