David Bowie's 1983 Concert at Murrayfield - Highlights and Footage
In June 1983, David Bowie was in the midst of his 'Serious Moonlight Tour,' supporting his album 'Let's Dance,' which had been released just the year before. This was a groundbreaking album that marked Bowie's commercial peak, featuring hits like 'China Girl' and the title track 'Let's Dance.' The concert footage from the Feijenoord Stadion in Rotterdam captures Bowie's dazzling stage presence during this vibrant period. It's fascinating to note that this album shifted Bowie from cult icon to mainstream superstar, thanks in part to production by Nile Rodgers. Ironically, many fans consider this era both a high point and a turning point for Bowie, as his artistic direction took a more commercial turn, though he always infused it with his unique character. Fans often debate whether Bowie's pivot towards a pop sound was a sell-out or a natural evolution of his artistry.
