The most pop and gorgeous "GLASS SPIDER TOUR 1987" in Bowie's history. The official video is now available. It was a tour that introduced a large number of dancers and cast members and unfolded the biggest show in the history of his career, but it was also a big difference from the image that fans had. However, the large-scale is even more striking now. This work is a reprint of the official video "GLASS SPIDER", which reigns as the pinnacle of "GLASS SPIDER TOUR 1987", in a sacred place. This video was also made into an overseas version of a video transcription and an official DVD of subtle quality, but it is now out of print. It is a video with a premium. This official video is packed with Bowie's appearance that can only be seen here. The world view is overwhelming from the beginning. As soon as a giant spider of light appears on the stage, Carlos Alomar plays a guitar solo. A storm of tapping solos that might turn into VAN HALEN's "Eruption" rang out, and a voice shouted "Shut up!", but he didn't stop the solo. To stop Carlos, the cast appeared one after another like a paratroop with the sound of a helicopter flying. The cast began to play "Up The Hill Backwards" while arguing, and Bowie, sitting on a throne, descended solemnly from about 10 meters above while talking on the phone.... This took only about 5 minutes. Just this. You can see how strange, gorgeous, and full of ideas this show is. Even as they started singing, the dancers rolled on the floor and writhed, inflated balloons, hit them with bats, and enjoyed group gymnastics in the middle of the stage. And finally, Peter Frampton appeared under the spotlight. The truly surreal production, which was quite edgy, came rushing in with great force. All of this is about the opening song "Up The Hill Backwards," but of course it doesn't end with a joke. In "Absolute Beginners," a woman in a huge costume like Kobayashi Oko appears. In "Loving The Alien," a suit comes down from the sky, a dancer performs a somersault dance, and in "Never Let Me Down," a dancer dances gracefully while applying an oxygen inhaler to Bowie... Every song is an intensely surreal production (albeit expensive). It's not a one-off for each song, but they continue to be performed one after another. I can't write about all of them, but there are two that are particularly intense. One is "Bang Bang." It's common to bring an excited female customer onto the stage, but when the woman is stopped by the cast, she changes her clothes live (for some reason). Dressed up, she is touched when Bowie, whom she worships, takes her hand, but she blows away Bowie who sexually harasses her. The angry female customer was persuaded by the cast to reach out her hand to Bowie, and Bowie took her hand and started dancing, and in fact the female customer was also a dancer... What is this? Well, it was obvious from the beginning that it was a setup, but the woman kept glancing at Bowie while changing clothes, and she was upset and even screamed in her passionate performance. Her acting was beyond smelly and too cunning, which was very far from the image of Bowie, but her strong will to "do it thoroughly if I'm going to do it" was very Bowie-like. The other one was "Sons of the Silent Age". A female dancer shows off a technique of collapsing like Michael Jackson's Zero Gravity, but the trick is a long ski board. She is supporting her weight with the ski board and doing Zero Gravity. If it was just this, it would be like "I saw the trick", but that's not all. He takes the skis to the center of the stage, and yet Bowie holds his hands over the dancers' heads as if to say, "They're not hanging!", and then there's a scene where Bowie himself removes the bindings. Is it serious or a joke? It's humor on the edge of being confused even if you watch it carefully. This is not like Bowie, but very Bowie. It's been a long time before I touched on the essential quality and music. But the video is so amazing (of course, both the picture and sound quality are official quality). The world of thorough entertainment that is unique to "GLASS SPIDER TOUR 1987" in Bowie's history. It may be far from your image of Bowie, but this is also Bowie. Bowie in 1987, when Michael Jackson, Prince, and Madonna were sweeping the globe. This is a piece that captures that image in the best official video.
