David Bowie Performs Andy Warhol Live in St. Louis
In 1995, David Bowie was riding high on a wave of artistic rebirth as his album 'Outside' had just been released earlier that year, marking a return to innovative storytelling and bold sonic experimentation. His work leading up to the live recording of 'Andy Warhol' showcases a unique mix of industrial rock and avant-garde influences, which were pivotal in shaping the album's narrative. Interestingly, during this period, Bowie was heavily collaborating with Brian Eno, and 'Outside' features a concept-driven approach that mirrors his fascination with art and performance, much like the legendary Andy Warhol himself. The live performance from the Riverport Amphitheatre on October 11 reflects the energy and creativity Bowie exuded at the time, presenting a captivating blend of music that pays homage to the influence of Warhol on both pop culture and Bowie's own artistic journey.
