Post Description
David Bowie, ever the showman, decided to celebrate his 50th birthday in 1997
with a working concert in New York City. The setlist included seven songs off
the upcoming album Earthling, but was notable for a huge variety of guests -
plenty from the 90s, some working as Bowie's contemporaries - that contributed.
Soundboard recording of an excellent show that contributed one of the most
cursed photographs ever.
