David Bowie

In October 1999, David Bowie delivered a remarkable performance at the Élysée Montmartre in Paris, showcasing his hit 'Drive In Saturday.' This concert occurred shortly after the release of his album 'Hours...' which debuted that same year, marking a pivotal moment in his career as it was his first studio album in 10 years. This era reflected Bowie's introspective tone, exploring themes of personal struggle and reflection, particularly resonating with fans who appreciated his ongoing evolution. The live recording captures Bowie at a unique crossroads, blending both nostalgia and innovative artistry, with Page Hamilton from Helmet accompanying him on guitar. The intimacy of the venue allowed for a deep connection between Bowie and his audience, underscoring why he remained a cultural icon even in the later stages of his career.
