David Bowie Live Performance of Rebel Rebel in Madrid 1990
In September 1990, David Bowie was riding high on the success of his album "Tonight," released in 1984, and an exhilarating string of performances on his "Sound + Vision" tour. This particular live recording captured him performing "Rebel Rebel" in Madrid, a track that was emblematic of his early glam rock era and remains a beloved fan favorite. By this time, Bowie was well-known for his chameleonic style, effortlessly shifting genres and personas throughout his career. Interestingly, the recording took place just before the release of his next studio album, "Tin Machine," which marked a notable shift as he collaborated with a band of the same name, showcasing a rawer sound. This live show not only highlights his enduring appeal but also serves as a testament to his ability to connect with audiences through electrifying performances.
