David Bowie/Michigan, USA 1983

The news of David Bowie’s death on January 10, 2016 at the age of 69 came as shocking news not only to music fans around the world, but also to all aspects of the world, including the arts. From Bowie’s 1983 “Lysias Moonlight” North American tour, the two performances in Detroit on July 30th & 31st are all completely recorded from the original audience master newly discovered by JEMS in recent years. Anyway, what is surprising is the wonderful sound quality, especially on the first day, it seems that it was recorded closer to the PA, so the sound is closer and clearer. In addition, unlike this three-month tour in Japan, the set list that opens with “Rock and Roll Star” is unique to the US tour at this time. Moreover, the Who’s “I Can’t Explain” was performed in the encore only on the first day, and the content and structure was different from the Japan tour, making it a must-listen item from the most successful period of his career. .
