David Bowie Tour band 1990 – Sound+Vision Tour
Bowie specifically chose a smaller band for the tour, saying in a contemporary interview that “It’s a much smaller sound. It’s not quite as orchestrated as any of the other tours. The plus of that is that there is a certain kind of drive and tightness that you get with that embryonic line-up, where everybody is totally reliant on the other two or three guys, so everybody gives a lot more”
• David Bowie – vocals, guitar, saxophone[
• Adrian Belew – guitar, backing vocals, music director
• Erdal Kızılçay – bass guitar, backing vocals
• Rick Fox – keyboards, backing vocals
• Michael Hodges – drums
.
Band-only rehearsals took place in Manhattan in January 1990. The soundboard used was rather limited and only fed stage monitors, so it’s unlikely any outputs had a full mix.
Production rehearsals were in New Jersey in February 1990. I wasn’t able to download any audio files, perhaps they are not availablenow. However I could certainly tell soundboard mixes from room mics if able to hear any of these rehearsals.
