David Bowie Live Performance of What in the World at the 1978 World Tour
In April 1978, during the Isolar II tour, David Bowie was riding high on the success of his album 'Low,' released just a year earlier. This period marked a significant shift in his musical style, embracing the avant-garde and electronic influences that would define his Berlin Trilogy. The Dallas Convention Center concert showcased Bowie's experimental edge, featuring tracks like 'What in the World' and 'Blackout,' which highlighted his innovative approach to sound and performance. Interestingly, 'Low' was one of the first albums to use the Berlin Wall as a metaphor for isolation, reflecting Bowie's own feelings of detachment during this period. Bowie's ability to blend personal struggles with groundbreaking music during this live recording speaks volumes about his artistry and connection to his audience.
