Description
The Serious Moonlight Tour, which opened in Brussels on May 18, 1983, ended up being Bowie’s biggest, longest and most successful tour ever. Bowie had been well-known to rock fans up until then, but I think it was around this time that he became famous to the general public. The number of tours was actually 96 performances. The tour was originally planned to focus on medium-sized venues with a capacity of around 10,000 people, but as sales of the album “Let’s Dance” far exceeded expectations, there was a fierce battle for tickets, so the tour was not held at large stadiums or large venues. An outdoor venue has been scheduled. In Japan, venues of various sizes were chosen, from arenas to stadiums. The dates for the 1983 Serious Moonlight Tour in Japan are as follows: October 20, 1983 Tokyo Nippon Budokan October 21, 1983 Tokyo Nippon Budokan October 22, 1983 Tokyo Nippon Budokan October 24, 1983 Tokyo Nippon Budokan October 25, 1983 Yokohama Stadium October 26, 1983 Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium October 27, 1983 Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium October 29, 1983 Nagoya International Exhibition Center October 30, 1983 Osaka Expo Commemorative Park October 31, 1983 Kyoto Prefectural Gymnasium Larger in scale than traditional Bowie It was a large-scale event, including four consecutive performances at Budokan, and Yokohama was the largest in terms of number of performances and attendance, reflecting its popularity at the time. And this work is a complete recording of the Nagoya performance on October 29, 1983 with high sound quality. There are many songs that will be played for the first time live, and songs from the album “Scary Monsters” will be performed live for the first time on this tour, and there are also important numbers such as “Ashes To Ashes”, which will become indispensable on Bowie’s stage later. . Instead, the bright atmosphere that covers the entire song makes the atmosphere of the song different from the previous songs, although there are no major changes in the arrangement. This impression may be due to the fact that the band, including the horns, is more luxurious and larger in number than before. Fashionable and handsome, blond-haired Bowie sings on a gorgeous stage. There is no doubt that it is a fun stage that fully conveys the cheerfulness of the 80’s. This work is a complete recording of October 24th, the final day of the 1983 Budokan performance series, in high quality. BUDOKAN HALL TOKYO JAPAN October 24, 1983 DISC ONE 01.
