Tin Machine Live Performance in Hamburg featuring 'Oy Vey, Baby'

Date: October 24, 1991

In October 1991, David Bowie was in a fascinating phase of his career, performing as part of Tin Machine, a band he formed in the late '80s. This live performance at the Docks in Hamburg showcases the raw energy of the group and their innovative rock sound. Just prior to this, Bowie released the album 'Tin Machine II' in 1991, which followed the band's self-titled debut. It's interesting to note that Bowie’s involvement in Tin Machine was a bold departure from his solo career, allowing him to experiment with a more collaborative and rock-centric approach. The Hamburg concert exemplifies this era, highlighting Bowie's ever-evolving artistry while also forging a unique identity that stepped away from his glam rock roots. This shift was not just a creative choice; it was part of Bowie’s journey towards continued exploration and growth as an artist.
