David Bowie

In November 1991, when this live recording of Tin Machine took place at the Brixton Academy, David Bowie was deep into a unique phase of his career. Fresh off the release of 'Tin Machine II,' which came out just a month prior, Bowie was exploring a rawer sound with this band. 'Tin Machine II' was quite different from his earlier iconic works, showcasing a heavier, grittier edge and emphasizing a collaborative vibe within the group. It's fascinating to note that Bowie, often seen as a solo artist, embraced this band dynamic not only to push his musical boundaries but also to shed older personas. During this electrifying show, you can really sense the energy—the crowd was entirely engaged, reflecting Bowie's commitment to his evolving artistry. What’s more, it was during the early '90s that Bowie might have felt a sense of reinvigoration, stepping away from his past while still living in its shadow.
