David Bowie : Milton Keynes National Bowl, Milton Keynes, Britain, 8/5/90




THERE'S NO SIGN OF LIFE
IT'S JUST THE POWER TO CHARM
I'M LYING IN THE WIND
BUT I NEVER WAVE BYE-BYE


 

David Bowie
played two
 massive concerts 
at the
Milton Keynes 
National Bowl 
on
 August 4th and 5th 1990
  during his
Sound+Vision Tour
Concert Details

  • Dates: August 4 and 5, 1990 
  • Tour: Sound+Vision Tour (marking the 78th and 79th dates of the tour) 
  • Attendance: Roughly 60,000 to 65,000 fans per night, totaling close to 120,000 attendees across the weekend. 
  • Weather: The shows took place during some of the UK's hottest days of the year, with soaring temperatures leading many fans to need treatment for sunburn and dehydration. 
  • The Band: Bowie was joined by Adrian Belew on guitar and musical direction, Erdal Kızılçay on bass, Rick Fox on keyboards, and Michael Hodges on drums. 
The shows were
 famously billed as a
 "farewell"
 tour. 
Bowie stated at the time
 that these concerts would be
 the last time he ever 
performed his 
classic greatest hits 
from the previous
 three decades 
(a retirement of his back catalog, 
though he later reversed this stance 
on subsequent tours).
 The massive weekend
 was also 
attended by notable 
guest musicians,
 including
 Dave Stewart 
of 
Eurythmics 
and
 Siobhan Fahey.
