David Bowie – Under Pressure Performance at GQ Awards 1997
In October 1997, David Bowie performed "Under Pressure" at the GQ Awards in Radio City Music Hall, New York. This live rendition came shortly after the release of his album 'Earthling,' which dropped earlier that same year. 'Earthling' showcased Bowie's embrace of techno and industrial influences, marking a significant point in his career as he adapted his sound for the 90s. Interestingly, the 90s were a vibrant time for Bowie; he was not only exploring new musical territories but also reconnecting with fans through high-profile live appearances. This performance, which featured his distinctive vocal energy, reflected his ability to continually evolve as an artist while still captivating audiences with timeless tracks like "Under Pressure," originally a collaboration with Queen. Bowie's live prowess and innovative spirit truly shone during this period of reinvention.
