David Bowie

On August 25, 1991, David Bowie performed live with his band Tin Machine at LAX Airport, a time when he was reinvigorating his career with this new rock-oriented project. Prior to this performance, he released 'Tin Machine II' in 1991, showcasing his exploration of a more collaborative approach and a rawer sound. Interestingly, during this period, Bowie was distancing himself from his past glam rock persona, focusing instead on a more stripped-back, direct form of music. The concert features tracks like 'One Shot' and 'Baby Universal,' which capture the essence of his artistry as he shifts from the grand theatricality of his earlier work to a more grounded, performance-driven style. This live recording not only highlights his versatility but also reflects his willingness to evolve artistically even in the midst of a career revival.
