(1983) David Bowie / Fashion - Let's Dance

The Serious Moonlight Tour

[@Noah-ci1oi]

While many Bowie fans don't regard 80s as his best era, many would agree the Serious Moonlight to be his best tour. Cinematic in its best form.

[@see_em_all]

I totally agree with you.. this is just the best tour

[@LoneLee2022]

For sure! I saw him on that tour. It was like seeing "Elvis".

[@L.T.VideoAndAudio]

To me it's His 1978 Isolar II Tour

[@Robcatist]

His best tour show casing those 70’s classics

[@mikeziron8244]

I’m fan of Diamond Dogs Tour/Philly Dogs 1974 - for me the brightest and the most theatrical period of Bowie’s career. everything there were perfect - costumes, decorations for stage, the accompanying band and EXACTLY saxophone, which was so groovy as an filler for some songs, like “Panic in Detroit”, “Big Brother” and “Sweet Thing” The best thing

[@DeuceSchnozzle]

If there was ever a man who was born exactly when he was supposed to be born, and who ended up doing exactly what he was supposed to doing, at exactly the time it was supposed to be done, it was David Bowie. No one else, at any other time could have done what he did. Wherever you are, David, thank you.

[@andthensome512]

Great comment!

[@mattpierce5009]

One of the best live performers ever. Bowie was like fine wine, just got better and better with time unlike almost every other rock performer.

[@adamdambrov2308]

I consider myself lucky for having seen this live. 15th row and blown away.

happy 40th birthday to the "let's dance" album!! :)

[@markm5193]

I've been a Bowie fan for a long time, and had the pleasure of meeting him. I'm not one of those fans who criticizes his 80's work as he already established himself to be a super, super super star. He had left his record company, got the long needed divorce & was finally making some money. He decided to do some commercial stuff & it paid off. For those who criticize that so be it but let me say he recorded some monster classics in the 80's. "Under Pressure", "Let's Dance" "China Girl". "Modern Love" the last three are from one album. "Loving The Alien", "Absolute Beginners" not to mention "Fashion", "Ashes To Ashes" he did a duet with Bing Cosby wish is a major classic and he starred in Labyrinth. AMEN!

[@marcoslanderos382]

Bowie had a one of a kind voice.

[@TheBircat]

I was there: Sept 11 & 12 1983; Bowie filmed the tour at the PNE Coliseum. He had played Vancouver on August 9th, opening BC Place Stadium to 60,000 fans and had so much fun in Vancouver that he returned a month later to make the tour film. The Coliseum is an arena, 16,000 seats, so they had to do a major job reducing the scale of the production to fit a much smaller venue for the filming, otherwise it was the identical show to the stadium tour. I saw pretty much every significant band of the 70s and early/mid 80s, and this night at the filming was the pinnacle of concert experiences that I remember to this day.

[@markm5193]

Thanks for sharing that story! I had seen him in Hartford in July where he did two shows and I remember that it was one of the most incredible nights I had experienced as a youngin'. I saw the show 4 times in various Cities. What a performer.

[@markm5193]

Oh man, I forgot to post this, after the show I remember being outside the venue and this guy came out saying..."David Bowie is God" over and over lol. What a night.

[@reconnaisancesapper]

This is not just a typical gig; this is a masterpiece of art.

[@astra3694]

Как бы не ругали этот его попсовый период, но драйва и энергии у него не отнять)

[@nitzasimantov2809]

Best rock star of all time solo for me :-). Between his innovation musically and his showmanship and his interviews and his philosophy on music... He is it

.....honestly i think his whole career was a buildup to....this....he is so happy and relaxed here....just an effortless performance without having to hide behind characters....the ultimate cult artist....that achieved mainstream success on his own terms....finally a HUGE SUPERSTAR....and loving it....the biggest album of his career....looking his most suave....

[@tampajoe9921]

I played this on HBO and then on a VHS Tape so many times I had to go see him live in Tampa, 1987 Glass Spider, and in Deer Creek, IN 1990 W/Adrien Belew. They were all great shows, but Stevie Ray wanting too much money to tour and Earl Slick filling in, (Bowie the Businessman) 1983 was CLEARLY a performer in his prime!
