When Bowie died, the German government issued an official statement. "Goodbye David Bowie. You are our hero. Thank you for helping bring down the wall." This comment was in reference to David Bowie's concert in the square in front of the Berlin Wall on June 6, 1987. For the concert held in Berlin as part of the Glass Spider Tour, the stage was purposely set up in a square near the Berlin Wall, rather than in an existing venue, and the speakers were directed beyond the wall to the East Berlin side. It was a symbolic location of the Cold War, where people from both East and West came together through Bowie. One of Bowie's most famous songs, ``Heroes'' is a masterpiece inspired by the sight of lovers meeting across the Berlin Wall. This concert seemed to project the people of East and West into lovers and appeal for reconciliation between East and West. In East Germany at the time, gatherings without prior permission were prohibited, and under the watchful eye of the Stasi (East Germany's Ministry of State Security), 5,000 people gathered on the east side of the Berlin Wall and many people were arrested. Ta. Still, young people in East Berlin were enthusiastic about Bowie's concert, which could be heard. In the socialist camp of the Cold War, when Western art was banned, "it was like tasting forbidden fruit. Everyone had a hunch that this concert was happening to change our situation. I knew that.” This work is a complete soundboard recording of the West Berlin performance on June 6, 1987, which was one of the triggers for the fall of the Berlin Wall.
