David Bowie - Thursday's Child Live Performance in Madrid, Spain

Date: October 19, 1999

In October 1999, David Bowie performed 'Thursday's Child' live in Madrid, capturing a remarkable moment during his 'Hours...' era. This album, released just before the live recording, marked a notable shift for Bowie, showcasing a more introspective and personal style, reflecting his evolving artistry. Interestingly, 'Hours...' was his first studio album to be released under the ISO Records label, an offshoot of Columbia Records, which allowed Bowie more creative freedom. The concert itself featured a blend of classic Bowian flair and heartfelt performances, connecting deeply with fans during a time when his reinventive spirit still burned bright. This particular performance is also a fan favorite, emphasizing how Bowie's 1996 comeback, following a hiatus, led him to embrace a more mature sound that resonated with a whole new generation of listeners.
