David Bowie Live Performance of Quicksand at Capitol Theatre, Port Chester
Venue: Capitol Theatre
Location: Port Chester, New York, United States
Date: October 14, 1997
In October 1997, David Bowie captivated audiences at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester with a hauntingly beautiful semi-acoustic rendition of 'Quicksand.' This performance came just after the release of his album 'Earthling' in 1997, which marked a shift towards a more electronic sound—a defining characteristic of the era. 'Quicksand' itself first appeared on Bowie's iconic 1971 album 'Hunky Dory,' showcasing his artistic evolution over the years. What's particularly interesting is Bowie's ongoing ability to reinvent himself while maintaining that deep-rooted connection to his past. This live recording exemplifies that delicate balance, captivating fans both old and new, and reminding us that his music transcends time.
