David Bowie

In June 1987, David Bowie was deep into his Glass Spider Tour, promoting his album 'Never Let Me Down,' which had been released in April of the same year. This tour marked a turning point, as it was Bowie's first major tour in nearly a decade and brought a theatrical flair to his performances, highlighting his knack for blending music with visual narratives. The concert at Stadio Flaminio in Rome showcased hits like 'Absolute Beginners' and 'Loving the Alien,' capturing an energetic Bowie at a transitional moment in his career, where he sought to reconnect with his audience following years of fluctuating creativity. Interestingly, this tour, despite its mixed critical reception, was largely a commercial success, illustrating Bowie's enduring ability to draw crowds. It's a reflection of how, even after decades, he continually evolved while remaining a cultural icon.
