David Bowie

In 1996, David Bowie was riding the wave of a remarkable career evolution, with his album 'Outside' released just the previous year, in 1993. This period showcased Bowie's artistry and willingness to experiment with new sounds, blending rock with influences from the worlds of art and theatre. The live performance at Long Marston Airfield on July 18, 1996, was part of the 'Outside Tour,' which highlighted his return to the stage after a brief hiatus. Interestingly, during this era, Bowie was collaborating with Brian Eno, bringing a fresh, avant-garde approach to his music. This concert is particularly memorable as it showcases Bowie's eclectic style and theatrical flair, all while captivating a diverse crowd in the picturesque surroundings of Stratford-upon-Avon. It's a testament to his enduring legacy that even in the mid-'90s, he continued to push creative boundaries and connect with fans old and new.
