David Bowie - 1990-05-16 - Tokyo. Japan (SBD)

David Bowie - 1990s: David Bowie released his self-titled debut album on June 1, 1967, the same day that The Beatles released the now legendary album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Perhaps there’s something symbolic about that. After all, the album featured The Beatles portraying a fictitious band, and Bowie would spend a good portion of his early career switching from one alter ego to the next. From his androgynous Man Who Sold The World to the glam of Ziggy Stardust to the pasty Thin White Duke, Bowie continually changed characters and musical styles, reinventing himself in the process. Interestingly, when this soundboard recording was made at Bowie’s Tokyo show on May 16, 1990, 26 years ago today, the singer seemed ready to leave all those personas behind. The set list for the tour would feature a host of his greatest hits, after which Bowie would retire from all future concert performances. For fans, it would supposedly be their last opportunity to hear classics such as Suffragette City, Ziggy Stardust, Rebel Rebel and Changes, just to name a few, in concert. Fortunately, Bowie didn’t completely abandon his old material in future tours, but at the time no one was quite certain how serious he was about the claim.
