David Bowie Live Performance of Scary Monsters from 1996 Concert

Venue: Long Marston Airfield Location: Stratford-upon-Avon, England, United Kingdom Date: July 18, 1996

In the summer of 1996, David Bowie was in a fascinating phase of his career, having just released the album "Outside" two years earlier. "Outside" reflected his return to a more experimental sound, blending elements of electronic and rock that echoed his earlier avant-garde explorations while also feeling refreshingly new. The live performance at Long Marston Airfield showcases Bowie's inventive spirit and his penchant for theatricality, hallmarks of his legacy. Another interesting note is that this concert was part of the 'Earthling' tour, where Bowie was promoting the album of the same name. This period marked Bowie's embrace of drum and bass influences, connecting past innovativeness with then-current trends in music. Even in the mid-90s, he proved that he was always ahead of the curve in terms of sound and style.
