In June 1996, David Bowie performed at the Kremlin Palace in Moscow, marking a unique chapter in his illustrious career. Leading up to this live recording, Bowie had released his album 'Outside' in 1993, exploring complex themes of art and identity through a panoply of styles. By the time of this concert, Bowie was well into his '93-'96 Outside Tour, which reflected a more experimental phase. Interestingly, this performance included 'All the Young Dudes,' a song originally penned by Ian Hunter for Mott the Hoople, showcasing Bowie's knack for collaboration and reverence for rock heritage. This Moscow show was special, not just for its iconic venue, but also symbolized Bowie's embrace of new audiences post-Soviet Union, emphasizing his timeless appeal across diverse cultures.
