David Bowie

In September 1990, David Bowie delivered an electrifying performance at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon, Brazil, during his 'Sound + Vision Tour.' This live recording is a mesmerizing glimpse into a transformative period for Bowie, as he had just released 'Never Let Me Down' in 1987. The album, though somewhat divisive among fans and critics, showcased Bowie's innovative spirit, blending rock with fresh pop sensibilities and even hints of hip-hop. Interestingly, this tour also marked the beginning of Bowie’s fun collaborations with the likes of guitarist Reeves Gabrels, who pushed his sound in new, experimental directions. Despite some mixed reviews for his studio work at the time, Bowie's live performances remained iconic, showcasing his adaptability and vigor on stage, turning even skeptics into fans. A true testament to his enduring legacy, this show in Lisbon remains a cherished highlight in his extensive catalogue.
