David Bowie - Serious Moonlight Tour 1983 - Fresh & Alive
F&A says:
On April 14, 1983, David Bowie released the album Let's Dance, which had been co-produced by Chic's Nile Rodgers. The album reached number 4 on the Billboard charts in the United States, while it rose to number 1 in the United Kingdom. The title track reached # 1 on the charts on both sides of the Atlantic! Two other singles, Modern Love and China Girl, made the top 20 hits in the US, and both rose to No. 2 on the UK charts. The album also featured guitar work by a then unknown Stevie Ray Vaughn! The Lets Dance and China Girl videos were widely broadcast on MTv, helping to build the 2-year-old network and introducing Bowie to a new generation of fans. In 1983, Bowie had become one of the most important video artists of the moment. In May, Bowie launched the Serious Moonlight Tour in support of Lets Dance, which spanned 96 shows before ending in December. This FM broadcast captures Bowie during that tour on July 13, 1983, 29 years ago today, in Montreal, Canada.
David Bowie - vocals, guitar; David LeBolt - keyboards; Lenny Pickett - saxophone; Stan Harrison - baritone sax; Steve Elson - tenor sax; Carlos Alomar - guitar; Earl Slick - lead guitar; Carmen Rojas - bass; Tony Thompson - drums; George and Frank Simms - backing vocals.
Again the quality of these eighties and nineties boots s little short of astonishing. This one is no exception. Enjoy I know I did!?
