David Bowie

In October 1991, David Bowie was riding the wave of his innovative collaboration with the band Tin Machine, having released their second studio album, 'Tin Machine II,' just a month prior. This period marked a fascinating chapter in Bowie's career, as it showcased his bold move away from the mainstream glam rock he was famous for and into a more raw, experimental sound. The live footage from the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels captures a unique moment where Bowie blends his iconic artistry with the gritty energy of Tin Machine, punctuated by the edgy guitar work of Reeves Gabrels. Interestingly, this performance adds a layer of intimacy to a time when Bowie was pushing the boundaries of his creativity, experimenting with new directions that would influence his future work. It’s a reminder of how Bowie constantly evolved, which is part of what made him such a legendary figure in music.
