Recorded in front of a 65,000 crowd at the MK National Bowl in 1990, this was part of the worldwide ‘Sound & Vision’ tour that fell inbetween the 2 Tin Machine albums, this recording of the full set is claimed to be ‘available for the first time on this CD’. Given this release is missing 4 tracks (Sound And Vision, Station To Station, Fame & Gloria*) that is at best an exaggerated claim.
* – it could be argued that ‘Gloria’ is not an actual track, as it is medleyed in with ‘The Jean Genie’, but that would be mere semantics IMO.
=====================
It was a hot summer’s day back in 1990 that a crowd of 65,000 gathered at the Milton Keynes Bowl to watch David Bowie in concert.
As temperatures soared fans were treated for dehydration, sun burn and heat exhaustion. It was the second time that David Bowie has played Milton Keynes.
It was billed as a farewell as Bowie said it would be the last time he would perform his hit songs of the past three decades. The concert was also attend by fellow musicians Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics and Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama and Shakespeare’s Sister.
“Bowie always someone who’s kept skirting around the edge and because of that you can learn a lot from him.
“He’s always experimenting.”
– DAVE STEWART, MUSICIAN
“I think he’s spawned a whole generation of pop stars. He’s one of my heroes.
“I enjoyed it – I was out there dancing with the rest of them,”
– SIOBHAN FAHEY, MUSICIAN
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”
