Product Details

The Glass Spider tour divided critics in 1987, but Bowie's ambition was undeniable: elaborate staging, a large band, and dancers pushing rock spectacle into theatrical territory that few artists had attempted at that scale. The Montreal night captured here featured Peter Frampton on guitar alongside Carlos Alomar, a pairing that grounded the visual extravaganza in genuine musicianship.

David Bowie - Glass Spider (Live Montreal '87) [2018 Remaster] The tour's innovative set and marriage of music and theatre has been cited as a big inspiration to acts in the 2000s. Speaking in 1991 about 'Glass Spider' Bowie said, 'It was the first time I'd had the opportunity to spend that kind of money and do shows like that! The first time since Diamond Dogs, anyway.I thought, right! Let's really spend some money! I had all these thwarted dreams of what I'd tried to do with rock 'n roll in the early '70s'.
