David Bowie

In 1999, David Bowie was in an intriguing stage of his illustrious career, having released his 22nd studio album, 'Hours...', just a year prior. This album marked a shift for Bowie, showcasing his introspective side and reflecting on themes of isolation and the passage of time. The live performance of 'Something In The Air' at the Élysée Montmartre in Paris captures Bowie's electric presence and the emotional gravity of that period. Interestingly, while 'Hours...' had received mixed reviews, it included a unique blend of electronic elements and traditional songwriting that underscored his adaptability. Bowie was also embracing the internet era, with 'Hours...' being his first album released simultaneously with an interactive website. This performance is a testament to his enduring ability to connect with audiences while navigating the evolving landscape of music in the late '90s.
